There is a bicycle to suit every taste, moment and circumstance: robust mountain bikes for

climbing on the crest of a hill and functional folding bikes for pedalling around town, racingbicycles for speeding along the pavements of Flanders and bold BMXs to carry out impossiblestunts, streamlined track bikes and small Graziellas perfect for a trip to the park on a springafternoon. It would be fantastic to have them all, but perhaps it’s just as nice to imagine them,without having to find space in the garage for such a vast collection. That’s why Martí Guixéproposes this new funny, ironic do-it-yourself book: two wheels on each page and the freedom toimagine and draw your own models

Tools: Extending Our ReachCooper-Hewitt 2014 ISBN 9780910503778 Acqn 23870Hb 20x24cm 176pp 200col ills £22.95

Tools celebrates the richness of the human imagination through a surprising range of juxtaposedand seemingly disparate objects. Accompanying an exhibition of the same name that celebratesthe fall 2014 reopening of Cooper Hewitt, Smithsonian Design Museum, Tools is unprecedentedin its composition of collaborators--the exhibition is Cooper Hewitt's first pan-institutional show,spanning ten Smithsonian museums. From the earliest times to the present, tools have been atthe frontier of design, demonstrating how technology and culture are inextricably linked. Consider,for example, that hand axes remained the dominant tool for 1.5 million years before anysignificant change was made to the human toolkit, and that the range of tools began to expandonly 10,000 years ago. It is notable that the design of our basic tools--hammers, saws,

screwdrivers, drills--has remained virtually unchanged for hundreds of years, indicating not onlytheir continuity of need and function, but also the effectiveness of their design solutions. Theirvarious incarnations and histories link us to the past. Other tools highlight new technologies andscientific breakthroughs that have opened new worlds to us. Through lush images, authoritativeessays and superb design, the book shows the interconnectedness of scientists, designers,historians, anthropologists, engineers and artists through design-thinking and problem-solving,while also looking at various design perspectives and methodologies. Tools explores the world ofdesign ideas while celebrating human ingenuity across cultures and over time. Text by CaraMcCarty, Matilda McQuaid.

Ugo La Pietra - Disequilibrating DesignCorraini Editore 2014 ISBN 9788875704759 Acqn 24830Pb 21x26cm 248pp col ills £41

Ugo La Pietra. Disequilibrating Design, the book that accompanies the exhibition of the samename at the Triennale Design Museum, is the first major monograph on unorthodox designer UgoLa Pietra. A humanist and eclectic designer, an architect by training, artist, filmmaker (and actor),editor, musician, cartoonist and teacher, La Pietra successfully identified new relationshipsbetween design and crafts, the culture of ‘making’ and design. Theoretician of the “genius loci”,he rediscovered the value of craftsmanship at a time when almost everyone was celebrating the“magnificent progress” brought by industrial mass production. Often using humour and evensarcasm, La Pietra places at the centre of his work the relationship between man andenvironment. With the eye of an anthropologist he reflects on the transformation of cities andproposes ways of making them more livable and sustainable, anticipating the times when theseconcepts would become central not only to the world of design.

Bruno Munari - Libro IlleggibileCorraini Editore 2000 ISBN 9788886250153 Acqn 25462Pb 10x10cm 32 pp col ills £6.50Text in Italian

In 1949 Munari designs for the first time a series of “libri illeggibili” (illegible books), whichabandon textual communication in behalf of aesthetic function only. Paper is no longer thesupport of the text only, but it also communicates a message through the format, the colour, thecuts and their successions. The elements that usually set up a book (like the colophon and thetitle-page) are kept off, and the reading seems the execution of a melody, with always differenttones during the sequence of the pages. Dominated by visual rarefaction and materials’experimentation, the production of the “libri illeggibili” has been carried on by Munari all life long.In 1955 some of them have been on display at the MoMA; in its Design Collection are still to see9 “libri illeggibili”. The Libro illeggibile MN 1 was designed by Bruno Munari for our publishing

house in the 1984. It is now in it’s seventh edition.

Like all great ideals, Love – the kind written with a capital letter – often seems elusive. So thenmaybe it’s better, as Aurelia Alcaïs does, to talk about the kind written in lower case, the moreintimate kind of love, the one that intertwines with our lives and creeps into the cracks of the

everyday. There’s the requited love that Daisy has for nature, and then there’s David who buysflowers for his wife of twenty years, not to mention Jean, the punk rocker who is secretly lookingfor a girl who is just like his grandmother. With simple and elegant illustrations, Toi et moi tells usabout love in all its forms, not concerning itself with who or what you love, but above all how youlove.
