FRAME PUBLISHERS CATAlogue FALL 2010 — FALL 2011
A friend and fellow publisher recently said that ‘books have to do a better job for readers. No one’s waiting around for another superficial picture book; readers want in-depth information and background data.’ Just another way of saying that ‘nice to know’ should make way for ‘need to know’. We are the first to endorse these views, and this catalogue is full of design and architecture books that zoom in on a subject and examine every aspect, right down to the smallest detail. Several examples: Float! explores ways in which bodies of water can be used for urban development. It provides food for thought that is of particular interest to architects, property developers and government officials. Engaging Spaces by Kossmann.dejong covers not only the work of this renowned design agency but also the process that goes into the design and realization of exhibitions and museum interiors in general. Night Fever 2 is a three-volume set of books on hospitality design. Definitely not limited to beautiful images – of which there are many, however – this publication provides readers with background and contact material, sketches, floor plans and other useful information on the restaurants, hotels and bars featured in its pages. The direction that Frame Publishers will continue to follow is based on offering information – not to mention inspiration! – that will help designers, architects, students and all those involved in the creative professions to upgrade their work. The success of this approach is evident in the number of titles that have led to the publication of one or more sequels: these include Night Fever, Grand Stand, Powershop and Material World. In addition to our fine collection of books, buoyed by the ongoing success of Frame and Mark we recently launched the publication of Elephant, our third magazine. Elephant represents Frame Publishers’ initial steps into the world of art and visual culture. Books on these subjects seem certain to appear in our next catalogue.

Video and led panels were introduced to support the continuously changeable in-store communication, together with a series of fluorescent tubes that can be switched on and off to create writing. A series of trolleys with different dimensions and possible accessories can be used to occupy the central space and when not in use they can be stored in the small back stockroom. Outside, a large movie-screen signage informs passers-by about the temporary commercial activity inside.
The client’s brief was to create a temporary store aimed to guest different typologies of products on a rotation base. Various items are sold in the store: clothes, accessories, home decoration, guitars, hats and books. The project’s location was a large empty space in an outlet village on the skirting board of Brescia. How to display the possible products without knowing their characteristics and identity was the main issue to be resolved and the whole final projects it’s deeply shaped by this problem. A floor to ceiling surface was painted in a common grey colour revealing a yellow pop interior trough many different openings. Door’s hinges, sliding guides, pivoting systems, counterweighted panel, accordion doors, roller blinds and drawers are only a few of the tricks used to transform grey into light to reveal countless and flexible

Ippolito Fleitz Group is a multidisciplinary, internationally operating design studio based in Stuttgart who call themselves identity architects. They aim to develop architecture, products and communication that are part of a whole and yet distinctive in their own right. The team conceives and constructs buildings, interiors and landscapes next to the development of products and communication measures.

Parallel to the windows on the longitudinal side are three floating displays. These are set at a slight angle and are reserved for the opticians’ range of sunglasses. The recessed ceiling is decorated with a pattern of fine lines and differentiates the customer service area from the shop floor.
The refurbishment of Conradt Optik coincides with the business being handed over to the next generation of owners, who wish to position the business with a select segment of brands and a focus on individual customer care. The entire building façade was renewed as part of the renovations, thereby making the shop’s new profile immediately evident from the outside. Long windows stretch down to the ground, giving maximum insight into the representative interior, which in itself becomes the window display. The interior can be accessed through one of two entrances, both of which lead to the central service counter. An organically curving rear wall masks the workshop areas and divides the shop into zones. The glasses are displayed in three recessed horizontal bays, which span 02.

Although information on ecology and sustainability is published and posted daily, it’s obvious that most people feel powerless when faced with the state of our environment today. Materials and technologies claim a dominant position with regard to ecological problems, but we sometimes forget that these may not always be the key to good, comprehensive solutions. The use of materials is only one approach to the larger ecological issue, which clearly has philosophical, metaphysical, economical and social implications. The world of nature, on the other hand, is an amazing arena filled with smart models of simple and sustainable behaviours. Nature undeniably questions the pretentiously authoritative status that humans have allocated themselves, and nature is the best example of a wholly sustainable and autonomous industry. The ecology issue is not only unavoidable; it offers us a great opportunity for making drastic changes in the way we think and act. Industry of Nature targets creative professionals in search of information, inspiration and tools for augmenting their work, expanding their imaginations and improving the world in which we live. The book combines interviews with examples taken from nature, architecture, engineering and design. A profusion of photographs and drawings bring the ideas and relevant information to life.

Where they Create
Colour Hunting
The successful weblog Where they Create documents studios where creativity takes place by showing the work of interior photographer Paul Barbera. Now it’s time to make a book. Where they Create captures 35 studios from all around the world. Studio’s of painters, sculptors, designers, architects, advertising agencies and many others, some very well known, others only starting out. Important to Barbera is that the photographed studio’s are somehow connected to someone Barbera knows and that he likes the creative space or the work they do. Where they Create is also a break from the work Barbera does for several interior magazines, where everything is styled and considered. Instead the images for this book are as Barbera finds the spaces, un-styled and raw. Just the way they are. Each project is described with personal information from the owner of the studio and Barbera himself.
Colour plays a vital role in visual experiences. Professionals in design, fashion, architecture and art are constantly exploring to find good solutions regarding colour. In a globalizing world, colour requires less time to ‘read’ than any other means of communication. Research aimed at the urban environment shows how colour identifies cultures and attracts attention. Scientific studies proved that senses such as touch and taste are stimulated as well. Projects devoted to wellbeing and healing provide solid evidence of an increasing interest in colour. The book is divided into three chapters: commerce (sell, buy), aesthetics (make), and wellbeing (feel). Richly illustrated pages are followed by case studies and interviews. Experts explain why colour matters in branding and how knowledge of colour and its effects determines the selection of colours that designers apply to their work and the materials involved. Colour Hunting presents projects that pioneer techniques and experiments with fabrication processes on a small scale, with a do-it-yourself attitude, as well as large-scale research projects on paints and coatings, carried out by international companies.

Designing Mobility
Mobility plays an important role in the evolution of any modern society. The development of various modes of sustainable, efficient transportation is undoubtedly one of the most important prerequisites for the success of future mobility. Today, it is not only the designers working for mobility manufacturers who define what this future will look like. Many architects, artists and designers have come up with innovative concepts that offer fresh and surprising perspectives on mobility design. Accelerate features the work of approximately ten designers from within the mobility industry and twice as many creative professionals from other disciplines or fields. Their visions and designs – some conceptual, some completed – are explained in individual interviews and illustrated with an abundance of drawings, 3D visuals and photographs. This book transcends the automotive sector, offering an insight into the world of bikes, motorcycles, yachts and airplanes, not to mention an additional array of innovative vehicles and systems designed to move people and goods.

product description panels, referred to by Arno Design as ‘symbolic rays of light’, guided visitors through the stand towards the central lounge area. Selected products were showcased in container-sized rooms called ‘experience worlds’ which were accessed from the lounge. The digital lamp control Xitec was presented in one such space emblazoned with the slogan ‘Bright Ideas’. Depending on the visitor’s movements, floor sensors triggered luminous rows of blinking lights that spelt out texts, or a monitor showed an applauding audience. The Talexx lighting solution was showcased in another experience world under the slogan, ‘Switch’, and was accompanied by a bold graphic of a smiley face and screenings of informative short films. The ‘Ecolution’ presentation brought the company’s environmental

CasCade Coil Hassell
Where DesignEX, Melbourne, Australia
DAAC Holdings, specialists in curtains, blinds and shades for the commercial sector, requested a travelling exhibit for its booth at DesignEX in 2009. Design practice Hassell responded with a stand that was modular, enabling it to be quickly and easily assembled or dismantled. Although only 12 m², the stand was striking. Hassell used gold mirror finishes to emphasize the qualities of
the product on display, a utilitarian yet sophisticated woven wire mesh. The stand’s rear walls were clad in a gold-coloured film, creating dramatic reflections. Overhead, several enormous mesh panels were suspended from the ceiling. Each was made of Cascade Coil, the product showcased by DAAC Holdings. Extending the gold theme, a mirrored disc was hung in each Cascade Coil curtain; seen together, the graded shapes formed a sphere that appeared to float, as if by magic, over the stand. Underfoot, fluorescent lighting set in translucent acrylic boxes emitted a strong glow that reinforced the intensity of the surroundings. With its rigorous aesthetic, Hassell’s stand design expressed the strong, yet lightweight nature of DAAC Holding’s product. Since gold suggests quality,

Float!
Building on Water to Combat Urban Congestion and Climate Change Float! proposes a new way of building: on water instead of on land. Although the concept may seem revolutionary, it is an obvious solution to overcrowded metropolises. The majority of world cities are situated on the water and have too little space where it’s most needed: in the city centre. Building on water allows inner-city areas to expand. Floating buildings have many advantages. They are both flexible and mobile. A buoyant structure can be moved to make space for a new building, decreasing the need for the demolition of development that still has a productive economic future. Floating buildings outwit changing water levels by rising and falling with the tide and, in so doing, promote a more responsible water management. They leave no scars on their sites, permitting planners to actively meet the demands of the moment. It’s up to the architects of the climate-change generation to respond to the world’s spatial needs with smart, sustainable proposals. Float! will help them to do just that.

This year M + R interior architecture celebrates its tenth birthday. To mark the occasion, the Eindhoven firm decided to publish a book with an overview of their work and their perception of it. The strikingly designed book contains a wealth of visual material, backed up in terms of content by texts written by various professionals and by M + R itself. Ten years of designing public spaces has not only resulted in a wide range of projects, it has also formed and honed M + R ’s view of their profession. Founders Hans Maréchal and Marie-Louise Rooijmans explore the dilemmas and conclusions of this first decade in more depth in their self-penned essay. They see the interior architect as the director of a complicated design process, in which the user (the visitor or the occupant) should take a central position. How that works out in practice is covered in publications by and interviews with various journalists and clients. The many attractive photos and plans give a good picture of the results. According to M + R , the interior architect continually needs to maintain a dynamic balance between personal and public aspects. This field of tension is captured in the title of the book, Portrait + Landscape. The two concepts also served as the guiding principle for the book design. This book, with its entirely individual character, is a complete edition about the work of M + R interior architecture.

Creating a good exhibition is about telling a multidimensional and interactive story with a balanced and broad array of modern media. That is the task of the exhibition designer. The challenge is to translate often complex and scientific information into a narrative environment that appeals to a wide audience. Highlighted in this book are 30 narrative spaces orchestrated by renowned Dutch exhibition architecture office Kossmann.dejong. Featured environments range from permanent presentations in museums and visitor centres to temporary exhibitions, among them the Urbanian Pavilion at the World Expo 2010 in Shanghai. Full-page photos accompanied by written explanations offer insight into how these narrative spaces are composed. Sketches, plans and sections make the designs fully comprehensible. A separate chapter explains 12 key concepts — interaction, abstraction, media mix, routing and more — that inform most narrative environments. Highlighted by essays written by specialists, Engaging Spaces covers all aspects of exhibition design and is sure to be of interest to students, professionals, and other inquiring minds.

Materiology is a book intended for all creative professionals who rely on materials and technologies – from students to experienced practitioners. Written in a style that conveys a wealth of information in a language that’s easy to understand this book covers everything there is to know about materials and technologies in one single volume, divided into four sections:
This substantial book presents the most recent and complex projects of German interdisciplinary design collective 3deluxe. Through a skilful mastery of interplaying graphics, interior and architecture they create powerful designs that include the multi-media theme world Cyberhelvetia, the interior design and corporate design for the infamous CocoonClub in Frankfurt, events and exhibitions for the 2006 FIFA World Cup as well as the corporate architecture for the glass manufacturer Leonardo. Essays by renowned authors complement the descriptions of projects, sparking lively debate on current trends in design and architecture, making this expansive monograph far more than a conventional presentation of their work.

Compiled in this book are 115 creative concepts, from beach clubs, hotels and oceanfront homes to sea baths, urban beaches and art installations.

Design Academy Eindhoven was founded in 1947. Today the school has a reputation, at home and abroad, as a highly contemporary and virtually unequalled design institute. Programmes offered cover a wide range of design-related disciplines – from product, graphic, new-media and automotive design to city planning, interior architecture and trend specialization. This book casts a light on the 60-year history of the academy. Nearly every important Dutch designer is included, most of whom have studied and/or taught at the academy. House of Concepts also offers a philosophical and critical view of design as a whole, and of Dutch design in particular, set in an international context.
Bright
Relax
Bright presents a rich selection of 38 exterior lighting designs. The included work has been implemented in both a commercial and cultural context around the world. The book shows how light and projections invite passers-by to interact with architecture; how it triggers discussions, sets a mood or translates the values and data of a brand into sensitive and meaningful designs. Each project is portrayed on eight pages that feature both plentiful photography and detailed textual information on the design and the design firm. Also included is a technical lighting guide that shares basic knowledge on lighting design.
In today’s fast moving world people welcome a place to relax, to feel good, to recharge. A huge number of wellness interiors have been established over the last few years. And some of them have been designed superbly. The hottest 32 spa’s, salons and gyms are showcased in Relax. Expect work from well-known names such as Karim Rashid, Steven Holl and Jun Aoki but also interiors from promising young designers. All projects are documented in high quality photography accompanied by in-depth articles, floor plans, project details and contact information. One beautifully designed yet unrealized project, illustrated with renderings, concludes each chapter.

Behind Bars
Happening
Once no more than gathering spots with domestic interiors, cafés and bars have evolved into places for relaxation where people go to escape the monotony of everyday life. The 40 innovative project featured in Behind Bars are proof that more and more designers rely on high-tech solutions to produce a look geared to these demands. Their interiors not only demonstrate a high level of creativity and variety but also push the limits of style, theme and materials. The result is one spectacular space after another. Each café or bar in the book is accompanied by quality images, floor plans and a full description based on an interview with the designer.
Happening presents 29 happenings – in the broadest sense of the word. From car shows to fashion events, from exhibitions to festivals, from sparkling to robust. Instead of telling you how to organize an event, Happening focuses on the design, and shows you how the designers translated the brief into an experience. The extensive photography allows you to enjoy these innovative events to the fullest. With today’s communication overload, marketeers have to come up with new ways to get and keep people’s attention. In Happening designers explain how they translated the essence of a brand into an event, creating an experience that fascinates a global audience.

Atmosphere
Bon Appétit
The atmosphere is a useful and meaningful metaphor for the artistic climate. Here, too, one can distinguish various layers that can be analysed and reduced to the basic components of any creative effort: form, colour and material. Atmosphere explores seven atmospheric layers that not only exist simultaneously but can easily merge to form new combinations, over and over again. It delves into a renewed interest in handicrafts, into creases and crinkles as generators of form, into nature as an inexhaustible source of inspiration. Learn how designers deal with the chill perfection of computeraided design and how they counter a period of baroque extravagance. Each chapter is lavishly illustrated with recent work by top designers, architects and artists.
Bon Appétit presents 35 projects from around the globe: page after page of the very latest restaurant settings produced by the world’s most influential design firms – from Karim Rashid and Marcel Wanders to Stefan Zwicky and HawkinsBrown. The recipe for restaurant magic features a provocative mix of dining environments to satisfy every taste and mood. The list of ingredients swings from a dash of fast food (McDonald’s, Milan) to a spoonful of minimalism (Nuba, Barcelona). Each project is accompanied by a profusion of photographs and an essay that describes the work and reveals the thoughts of the designers. This book will satisfy your craving for fresh inspiration. Bon appétit!

The Essential Guide to Frame’s First 50 Issues In a remarkable review of the first fifty issues of Frame, The Back Issue highlights the best article in each of the magazines. The pieces appear in chronological order, but an easy-reference index allows the reader to look them up by category as well. Designers comments on the publication of their work, the impact that publication has had on their lives, and news about their latest activities are included as well. Interspersed with these fifty features are interviews with Frame’s graphic designers and with the founders of Frame, a brief history of the magazine, and a sampling of reactions from readers.
Featuring over 150 materials, Material World 2, sequel to the highly successful Material World, is an even more comprehensive catalogue of resources. What the original volume quickly revealed is the enormous demand among architects and designers for product information, as well as for the names and addresses of suppliers of fascinating materials and finishes for use in interior design and architecture. Material World 2 satisfies this demand: the reader will find not only a virtually encyclopaedic survey of materials, but also addresses, phone numbers and websites – all the information needed to track down every item featured.

Forefront
Grand Stand
The Culture of Shop Window Design
A pane of glass, not more than 1.5 centimetres thick, divides the shop from the pavement. On one side, the climate-controlled interior welcomes those who can buy; on the other; the intemperate street is where those who cannot buy may look without paying. The editors of Frame magazine invited ten couturiers and shops to participate in Forefront, an overview of the shop window culture. Featured are more than 200 bold and lyrical window displays by the likes of Barneys, Bergdorf Goodman, Harvey Nichols, Hermès Japan, Moschino, Selfridges and Louis Vuitton. Also included are interviews with the designers.

‘I dreamt of designing a project in which people experience light with all their senses’ Tokujin Yoshioka
Rainbow Church is said to be your dream project. Where did the idea come from? I was in my early 20s when I visited Henri Matisse’s Chapelle du Rosaire de Vence in France. The chapel has three sets of stained-glass windows that feature three colours: sapphire blue, emerald green and lemon yellow. Matisse’s vibrant colours suffuse the chapel. Visiting was like bathing in the sunlight of the Provence. Ever since that visit, I have been dreaming of designing an architectural project in which people experience light with all their senses. Rainbow Church, as presented in Museum Beyond Museum in Seoul, is the first step towards the realization of this dream. How did your dream develop into a project? I wanted to present a project using small trapeziform prisms at Design Miami 2007, where

I received the Designer of the Year Award. But certain restrictions prevented me from making the installation I had in mind. When I was invited to mount a solo exhibition in Seoul, the organizers asked me to design something completely new. I decided to continue working on the idea of a wall of prisms, but on a much larger scale. Can you tell us how you made Rainbow Church? I used approximately 500 crystal prisms – made of clear acrylic resin – to create a huge ‘stained-glass’ wall that was 9.2 m high and 1.6 m wide. Each prism weighed between 4 and 5 kg and measured 40 cm in height. The side of one triangle was 10 cm. If we had been making a permanent architectural volume, we would have connected the prisms tightly together. But here we just used glue.
You’re talking about very large prisms. Small prisms would have produced a lot of small rainbows, and in an exhibition space as large as the one in Seoul, that’s not the effect we were after. Besides, a small-scale project was not in line with my original plan. I wanted to use bigger prisms. The size of these prisms was just right, and they were not too heavy. The craftsmen who built the work were able to handle them easily. To test the light effect, we had made a mock-up of the wall at our studio, using triangular prisms. After several experiments, I figured out the best combination of light, form and construction for achieving an effect very similar to sunlight passing through a stained-glass window. The light we used is very much like natural light. How did the venue influence the design? The main issues were where to place the >>>

Elephant
The art & visual culture magazine Elephant is a quarterly international magazine on art and visual culture, addressing the confident metropolitan consumers, who are very clear of what they like and have their own sense of style. Elephant looks at how creative individuals protest against the corporate nature of things, taking the initiative into their own hands and setting up new independent ventures. Elephant visits art and design studios, peers over shoulders, steps on graffiti artists’ toes, disturbs rehearsals, interrupts takes, rides fixed-gear bikes, and plays the latest computer games. Elephant’s tone of voice is direct, sincere, and multidisciplinary. Elephant believes it’s time for less cynicism and more encouragement for outbursts of spontaneity – think of those that gave birth to Futurism, Dadaism and Surrealism. Elephant is the first and only visually oriented art magazine that features over 200 pages of highquality, up-to-date, original creative material from all over the world.
