| DESIGN NAME: About Furniture PRIMARY FUNCTION: Book INSPIRATION: There are many books about furniture in Croatia, but most of them are written for professional use. The idea was to fill the gap by making a handbook with the basic information, a book for students as well as scholars; the book that will be used often to get the first but relevant information about the history, types, or authors of furniture. UNIQUE PROPERTIES / PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The book is illustrated by hand with 140 illustrations which makes it unique since all the other books about furniture use photographs. The book has four chapters: history of furniture, furniture in Croatia from 1945 till today, iconic world furniture designs and their authors, vocabulary of forgotten furniture names and a glossary of art history terms. The book is illustrated by hand with 140 illustrations which make it unique since all the other books about furniture use photographs. OPERATION / FLOW / INTERACTION: - PROJECT DURATION AND LOCATION: This project started in Zagreb, Croatia, during Covid-19 lockdown time - the ideal time for studying and writing the book in peace. It was finished the same year, but, due to import and printing problems caused by Covid-19 and the war in Ukraine - publishing was delayed until the end of 2022. The book was published with the support of the Croatian Ministry of Culture. |
PRODUCTION / REALIZATION TECHNOLOGY: There were more than 300 drawings made by professional artist Diana Sokolic, but only 140 are used in the book in order to make it simple, short, and informative. Huge research was undertaken to present basic and relevant information about characteristics of the furniture history styles, authors and their works. SPECIFICATIONS / TECHNICAL PROPERTIES: The book has 230 pages Quantity printed: 700 Printer: offset Typeface: Monserat, Raleway Jacket printer: offset, color Paper: Holmen 80g Binder: hard cover Size: 170 x 25 x 245 mm Editor: Jesenski & Turk, Zagreb, Croatia TAGS: book, furniture, handbook RESEARCH ABSTRACT: Researching for the book was long and it took over 7 months since the goal was to give the most important information about the history of furniture and most relevant authors, especially highlighting the work of female authors who were working in big corporations or studios, anonymously until today. CHALLENGE: Finding relevant information about women designers was the most challenging part of the research. Their work and lives are hidden under the names of factories or architects and their studios, especially in Croatia, where educated women designers worked for a monthly pay designing brilliant pieces under the name of the factory they worked for.
