Loewe. 100 Jahre Designgeschichte – 100 Years Design History
€32.00*
In the iF ranking, Loewe is among the top 10 German companies awarded
for exceptional design performances. This is a good reason to take a
close look at the design history of the company on the occasion of its
100-year anniversary. The design historian Kilian Steiner distinguishes
three historical phases: The first phase (1923 to 1945) marks the
build-up and destruction of the Loewe brand. In the second phase (1945
to 1985), the focus was on the rebuilding of Loewe and overcoming
numerous changes. The third period from 1985 onwards saw the rise of
Loewe to an internationally renowned design brand. For the first time,
the creative minds in product and communication design who contributed
to
the development of the brand are named and previously unknown details
of the Loewe corporate history are revealed.From
its foundation in 1923 to the invention of the electronic television in 1931, Loewe has evolved into a globally operating
design brand. A unique combination of German engineering, excellence,
exclusive design and sustainability have shaped the brand culture.Search inside on ISSUU.com

€88.00*
It is definite: The trade fair is not dead, the trade fair is changing! And, going forward, this will not be the last time it has to adjust with agility to new circumstances. Designers will need to analyze the qualities of space again more closely – be it the physical space or the digital space: Space should be staged and designed so as to support communication, facilitate encounter and experience, create an immersive effect and, of course, provide content which adds value. But this also means that communication strategies need to be fixed beforehand, particularly if the focus is on positions and visions rather than products as in the past. It will be about connecting people with brands on many different levels in order to shape the future together. The standard reference work in the trade fair design world.Search inside in ISSUU.com

Design Engineering – sustainable and holistic
€44.00*
The book describes the potential of both design objects and concepts, as well as design as a process, with a specially strong focus on the process of design engineering in the past, present and future. The book makes a stance by referring to historic and current design parameters in industry in relation to certain training methods. It compares these within Europe, explicitly the approach taken by Germany, Great Britain and Scandinavia – and highlights best-practice examples. The range of design disciplines, especially an in-depth look at classic product and textile design, leads to new “blueprint” possibilities and interactive design methods. As industrial designer and master tailor, Marina-Elena Wachs has been a professor for design theory at Hochschule Niederrhein since 2010 and graduated 2007 from Braunschweig University of Art with work on the topic “Material mind – new materials in design, art and architecture”.
