WIM CROUWEL
A Graphic Odyssey
Tony Brook & Adrian Shaughnessy (Eds.)
Hands down, Wim Crouwel is one of the graphic design titans of the 20th century. His clear understanding of the new modernity, innovative use of the grid system and hunger for typographic experimentation pushed him far ahead of the design world of the 1950s. These staggering accomplishments are recognized in a sixty- year retrospective at the London Design Museum, documented in this unorthodox exhibition catalog. Featured here is everything from his innovative typographic poster designs for the Stedelijic Museum to his visionary designs for IBM, from postage stamps to his personal photos. But instead of seamless reproductions, the works are documented in the raw, bare-concrete setting of the Crouwel archive, giving new life to works that were created to live within the public domain. Adding to this amazing document is a rare interview with Crouwel by the exhibition’s curator, Tony Brooks.

Whether she’s working in industrial, furniture or object design, Swedish designer Monica Förster has been internationally acclaimed for successful collaborations with some of the world’s best-known producers, from Italian brands like Tecno, Alessi, De Padova and Cappelini to Swedish brands Swedese and Offecct. This is Forster’s first monograph, a generous book illustrating more than 15 years of sketches, renderings, models and exhibition work, as well as a unique insight into her thoughts and design processes. We follow Förster on her journey from her upbringing in the small village of Dorotea in Lappland to the limelight of the international design scene, bringing with her the poetry and craftsmanship from the region where she grew up.
