<p>The third book about Offecct's collaborations with various designers from around the world is a personal and open-hearted conversation with Lucy Kurrein. She s been very involved in the creation of the book and offers a unique insight into the world of images and ideas that has shaped her design philosophy.</p><p>In the book, we follow design writer Max Fraser to Lucy Kurrein's studio for a personal and sincere conversation. The extensive visual material that Kurrein herself has selected reflects her personality, sources of inspiration and design process. Just as in her work, we meet a designer where care for every detail results in a natural simplicity that requires time. I am selective about the projects I take on. If I hired a team, I could take on three times as much work, but I enjoy designing everything with my own hands and allowing a slow and considered design process, she says.</p><p>Lucy Kurrein also talks about how her creativity when young was nurtured by visits to art museums, sculpture parks and galleries and why the relationship between the product and the human body is so central to her.</p><p>Lucy Kurrein began her career on an Art Foundation Diploma at the Leeds College of Art and Design. She went on to study Furniture Design at Buckinghamshire University where she graduated in 2007. After some years at Matthew Hiltons and Pearson Lloyds respectively, all British Royal Designers for Industry, she set up her own design studio in London in 2013. The same year she launched her first sofa in collaboration with SCP. In 2015 Lucy was awarded Young Furniture Designer of the Year by Homes and Gardens magazine. She is one of the most exciting new designers working in Europe today.</p>

Crystal Clear Recipes Glass designers' favourites The set table can be a delight - both for the eye and the palate. And a successful dinner party or a social gathering is an occasion when form and function interplay in the best way. That is why it is exciting to read about our skilful designers - the well-known and the less well-known - and their relationship to food and table decoration, both for everyday and party situations. In this book they share their thoughts regarding glass and its possibilities. Thoughts about the function of glass as either a beautiful and useful object or a piece of artistic decoration on which to rest the eye. All these designers are interested in the joy and aesthetics of the meal. This is shown clearly in Crystal Clear Recipes. They find their inspiration in many different places and in many different ways - both when working and when cooking and serving. Crystal Clear Recipes presents twelve designers who in turn offer their favourite recipes. Enjoy the beautiful photography, and be inspired by the tasteful settings. Most of all, enjoy the meal. Dinner is served!

The work of the world s top street artists on the Israeli-Palestinian separation barrier What we call possible can change in front of those who address both the Israelis and the Palestinians as friends, and build a project with them. We were sometimes called naïve. We hope this naïvety is contagious. Marco and jr, France. Banksy was the first, but far from the only, international street

Old Mens Tattoos visar en unik samling tatueringar gjorda mellan 1940-talet till 70-talet, som fotograferats på 2000-talet i Amerika, Europa och Australien. Dessa bilder är levande historia, de är anakronistisk estetik som ekar av det förflutna. De är nu vid en punkt dit alla tatueringar lovar att nå, ett suddigt förkroppsligande av tidens gång, en permanent relik. De är från en tid då tatueringar betydde något helt annorlunda än vad det betyder i dag. I en tid av absolut frihet och oändliga variation i tatueringskulturen så utmärker sig dessa bilder för sina djärva och enkla estetiska gester. Riktig old school-stil från en tid då tatueringar verkligen var kontroversiella!

In Whispering Void, artist Joakim Eneroth explores the nature of the mind from a Western psychological perspective combined with contemporary neuroscience. It is a continued examination of the theme, which was investigated in his previous art project Short Stories of the Transparent Mind from an Eastern philosophical point of view. In Whispering Void, Eneroth reveals the deeper subconscious layers of experience, the dance of notions and perceptions in the fluctuating mind. The questions often revolve around how to distinguish the mental projections of the mind from reality itself. Joakim Eneroth, born 1969, is an internationally established artist whose work is represented in the collections of the Tate Modern in London, Brooklyn Museum of Art in New York, MEP in Paris, and Moderna Museet in Stockholm, among others. Awareness and mind are the themes that unite Eneroths protean work. With each new series, the artist explores another aspect of consciousness and the boundaries where our inner and outer worlds meet.
