Fossili Modern Meteore floor light limited edition

Jan 31, 2011 Fossili Modern Meteore floor light limited edition manufacturer: MASSImiliano Adami, Italy designer: Massimiliano Adami design year: 2010 notes: Massimiliano Adami's "Fossili Moderni" (Modern Fossils) are created with found objects, hand-selected by the artist. Every piece is unique. The Floor Meteore has a body of polyuretane foam and different kinds of recycled plastic objects, some of which contain a source of light. Others extend to the floor and become supports for the lamp. Cross-sectioning creates a plane across the object and allows light to emerge from the objects with a sources of light. The behavior of the lights can be controlled. They can all come on at the same time, or one by one. There’s also a flashing light which is activated when the natural light decreases. When all the lights are off and the lamp is in the darkness, the foam body remains luminescent for a few seconds. materials: polyurethane foam and found objects warning: Do not expose the "Fossili Moderni" to direct sunlight (UV), water, or solvents. price: $12,000

The Book of Job signed copy

Jan 28, 2011 The Book of Job signed copy manufacturer: Rizzoli International Publications, USA designers: Job Smeets Nynke Tynagel design year: 2010 notes: Written by Job Smeets and Nynke Tynagel, with additional text by Viktor & Rolf, Alessandro Mendini and Murray Moss Playing off the near-biblical intensity of Job's oeuvre, this monograph, their first, is titled The Book of Job. The lavish package resembles a traditional leather-bound bible featuring a number of custom-printing effects including raised bands on the spine of the hardcover case which is covered in imitation leather overlaid with a dense signature composition by Studio Job, gilded page edges, cloth markers, black-letter type, and letterpress elements that distinguish the book from the conventional treatment of design monographs. Further, the slip-cased book is two-in-one with Studio Job on one side, and then on the flip side, the biblical The Book of Job, complete with illustrated illuminations. Themes present in the biblically inspired The Book of Job are echoed in the organization of the volume, translating the formal wit of Studio Job partners Job Smeets and Nynke Tynagel's work into print. Interior spreads, including photographs taken expressly for the book, and gatefold tableaux specifically designed by the artists and created using special dies, will provides rare insight into Studio Job's particular approach to design and pattern-making, resulting in a highly collectible and rarified book. materials: slip-cased hardcover with raised bands on the spine; 6 gatefolds; gilding; ribbon markers dimensions: 336 pages 9.5" x 12.25" warning: The Book of Job is available for PRE-ORDER. It will be released on December 7 and Job Smeets and Nynke Tynagel will be in New York to sign on that day. Pre-ordered copies will be shipped immediately following the signing. price: $150
