Forms With A Smile
Edited and text by by Moniek M. Bucquoye, Dieter Van Den Storm.
Featuring work by such off-beat stars as Marcel Wanders, Droog Design, Moooi and Bless for firms like Moss, Mixko, Ligne Roset and Vitra, among many others, Forms With a Smile collects the very best in contemporary Surrealist design--each subtly ironic object a stimulating statement that comes wrapped in a contagious smile. Among the stand-out contemporary design objects collected in this smart, accessible and delightfully sassy compendium are a tablecloth made from ham, cheese, bread and yarn by Kuniko Maeda, a sandbag sofa by Christiane Hoegner, a USB memory stick in the shape of a syringe by Markus Mayer and an old-school overhead fluorescent lamp luxuriantly lined with rabbit fur by Ivan Missine.
