By what means did so much beauty and ingenuity appear in articles of everyday rural life in Portugal? How did the shape of these objects balance necessity and formal perfection so skillfully? This book explores the effect that generations of trial and error, individual craftsmanship, and an instinct to carve out the essential with the slenderest of means brought to objects that made life both livable and meaningful to a pre-industrial society. The objects photographed and described by designer Jasper Morrison may be appreciated both for their beauty and for the example they set of design at its purest

Das Schweizer Freilichtmuseum Ballenberg versammelt über hundert Häuser und die Lebenswelt der ländlichen Bevölkerung vom 14. bis zum 19. Jahrhundert. Architektur, Einrichtungen und Werkzeuge waren in ihrer Gestaltung und Ausführung stets den Bedürfnissen und Notwendigkeiten des Alltags verpflichtet und die Lösungen wurden genuin mit den verfügbaren Mitteln gefunden. Herausgegeben von Rolf Fehlbaum, Unternehmer und langjähriger Impulsgeber von Vitra, ist das Buch eine Anregung, sich überraschen zu lassen und die Dingwelt mit anderen Augen zu erkunden. Es versammelt Beobachtungen und Entdeckungen der Gestalter Jasper Morrison, David Saik und des Architekten Tsuyoshi Tane. Sie teilen die Faszination für das Einfache, Praktische und das aus Funktion Schöne. Spuren von Alter und Verschleiss zeugen von langlebigem Nutzen und ökonomischem Verstand. Die Publikation ist auch eine Ermutigung für Gestalter: innen und Konsument: innen, sich den Trends und Moden zu entziehen und die Objekte des täglichen Gebrauchs kritisch nach Nutzen und Ästhetik zu beurteilen.
