Kenya hara DESIgnIng DESIgn Design: Kenya hara 16.5 × 24 cm, 6 ½ × 9 ½ in, 472 pages 389 illustrations, hardcover 2007, ISBN 978-3-03778-105-0, English EUR 40.– GBP 35.– USD / CAD 55.– Representing a new generation of designers in Japan, Kenya Hara (born 1958) pays tribute to his mentors, using long overlooked Japanese icons and images in much of his work. In Designing Design, he impresses upon the reader the importance of “emptiness” in both the visual and philosophical traditions of Japan, and its application to design, made visible by means of numerous examples from his own work: Hara for instance designed the opening and closing ceremony programs for the Nagano Winter Olympic games 1998. In 2001, he enrolled as a board member for the Japanese label MUJI and has considerably moulded the identity of this successful corporation as communication and design advisor ever since. Kenya Hara, alongside Naoto Fukasawa one of the leading design personalities in Japan, has also called attention to himself with exhibitions such as Re-Design: the Daily products of the 21st Century of 2000. Kenya hara whITE Design: Kenya hara 13.5 × 19.5 cm, 5 ¼ × 7 ¾ in, 64 pages 4 illustrations, hardcover 2010, ISBN 978-3-03778-183-8, English 2010, ISBN 978-3-03778-182-1, German EUR 20.– GBP 16.– USD / CAD 29.– White is not a book about color. It is rather the author’s attempt to explore the essence of “white,” which he sees as being closely related to the origin of Japanese aesthetics—symbolizing simplicity and subtlety. The central concepts discussed in this publication are emptiness and the absolute void. Kenya Hara also sees his work as a designer as a pure form of communication. Good communication has the distinction of being able to listen to each other, rather than to press one’s opinion onto the opponent. Kenya Hara compares this form of communication with an “empty container.” In visual communication, there are equally signals whose signification is limited, as well as signals or symbols such as the cross or the red circle on the Japanese flag, which—like an “empty container”—permit every signification and do not limit imagination. It is not only the fact that the Japanese character for white forms a radical of the character for emptiness that has prompted him to closely associate the color white with the state of emptiness. wInDfALL LIghT The Visual Language of ECM Edited by Lars Müller With contributions by Geoff Andrew, Ketil Bjørnstad, Katharina Epprecht, Lars Müller, and Thomas Steinfeld Design: Integral Lars Müller 18.5 × 26 cm, 7 ¼ × 10 ¼ in, 448 pages 1260 illustrations, softcover 2010, ISBN 978-3-03778-157-9, English 2010, ISBN 978-3-03778-197-5, German EUR 55.– GBP 50.– USD / CAD 85.– Following the success of Sleeves of Desire (1996), a second publication about the ECM label is now devoted to its sleeve designs from 1996 to the present. Since its founding in 1969, ECM (Edition of Contemporary Music), has been dedicated primarily to jazz and contemporary classical music and is a leading international label in both these fields. What distinguishes ECM are its design aesthetics, which have always been an integral part of its music productions. Manfred Eicher’s collaboration with designers and alternating photog raphers and artists has produced an aesthetics of the cover that initiates a dialogue between the mostly photographic image and the music. This book takes the reader on an associative journey through this visual world. In their texts, the authors examine various aspects of this visual language in greater detail. An illustrated catalog of all of ECM’s releases since its founding completes this publication. 44 Design 45

Each volume introduces outstanding personalities and important themes from the history of international graphic design, with numerous illustrations, essays and interviews. Hans Hillmann (born 1925) started to design film posters while he was still a student, and by 1974 he had produced over 150 posters for the Neue Filmkunst distribution company. He was appointed to a chair in Kassel in 1961, and made a major contribution to shaping the character of the Kassel poster school. He worked for the cult magazine twen as an illustrator, then later for the Frankfurter Allgemeine Magazin. Hans Hillmann lives in Frankfurt am Main. The first edition of Twen appeared in 1959. This magazine designed by Willy Fleckhaus did not just strike the right note with a whole gene ration, it also set new standards internationally in the magazine design field. Something that has almost been forgotten is a series of about seventy long-playing records published between 1961 and 1968, as a joint venture with the Philips record label. In his role as art editor, Willy Felckhaus engaged graphic designers such as Heinz Edelmann to create the sleeves. In 1961, eleven German publishing houses joined forces to create the Deutscher Taschenbuch Verlag, exclusively to publish paperbacks. The publishers wanted the corporate image of the company and all the book jackets to be designed by the same hand. This was a commission that remains unique to the present day, and it went to the Swiss designer Celestino Piatti (1922–2007). Piatti gave dtv its unique look for over 30 years, and created the image of 6300 white paperbacks with their right–justified Akzident Grotesk typeface and characteristic cover illustrations.
