Summary:
SPOON is a comprehensive view of new product design, presenting the work of 100 international designers who have emerged on an international platform in the last five years, selected by 10 critics, designers and entrepreneurs who are highly respected for their informed opinion on the international contemporary design scene. It provides a unique opportunity to see a diverse collection of recent design projects that includes a whole range of objects: furniture, lighting, tools, utensils, high-tech products, machinery and so on. The designers are listed in alphabetical order featuring two double-page spreads for each, with recent, exemplary products accompanied with sketches, drawings, computer renderings, model and prototypes that help to explain, together with the extensive captions, the process behind each project. A short explanatory text by the curator explains the designers’ work and the characteristics that make his/her projects forward-looking and ground breaking. SPOON also features, at the end of the book, 10 ‘classic’, industrially manufactured product designs, chosen by the curators as best examples of the concept of ‘good design’. These ‘classics’ are accompanied by text written by the curators that explains their choice of designers and generally what they see to be the concept of ‘good design’. SPOON takes its place in a series of surveys identifying 100 of the most interesting, cutting-edge practitioners of key art forms. Earlier surveys include cream and Fresh Cream, for contemporary art, 10x10 for architecture and BLINK for photography.
