Werkbericht / Nils Holger Moormann

Více o knize

Werkbericht showcases 51 pieces from Nils Holger Moormann's collection, a key figure in “New German Design.” This book transcends a simple product catalog, offering a focused exploration of each piece. By disassembling the furniture into individual parts, the presentation emphasizes precise solutions and formal expressions, allowing details to shine. Moormann's designs reflect intelligence, innovation, simplicity, and mobility, with most pieces being tool-free and easily disassembled, enhancing the significance of their connecting elements. The 200-page volume is divided into two distinct parts, differing in graphic presentation, paper type, and typeface. The first section, printed in full color on uncoated paper, features abstract presentations of the furniture's components, with individual parts displayed on one side and complete pieces on the other. The second part provides detailed product explanations in five languages, printed in black and white on lightweight paper, serving as an appendix. The foreword is written by Professor Dr. Florian Hufnagl, former chief museum director of the Neuen Sammlung, Munich. Moormann was honored with the German Design Award 2015 in the Personality category for his contributions. His philosophy emphasizes the interplay of design, chaos, and play, creating a strong essence that communicates clearly and joyfully.
