Sustainist Design Guide How sharing, localism, connectedness and proportionality are creating a new agenda for social design This guide by Michiel Schwarz and Diana Krabbendam with The Beach network will be published in May 2013 (BIS Publishers, Amsterdam). “In the era of ‘sustainism’ it is no longer a matter of designing for society, but within it,” say the authors of Sustainist Design Guide.

Swiss Federal Design Awards - Michael Kryenbühl / Ivan Weiss We are all familiar with Aki Kaurismäki's authentic everyday heroes: the taciturn garbage collectors, the dreaming supermarket checkout girls, the reclusive night watchmen. These melancholy, solitary figures are found not only in Finland, but represent the universal human being and the (sometimes rough and ready) vagaries of life. In their 272-page book Akilandia, created as a graduate piece at Lucerne University, Michael Kryenbühl and Ivan Weiss combine their collected impressions of eleven weeks spent studying Kaurismäki's cinematic world.

Department 21 | An experimental interdisciplinary workspace at the Royal College of Art Daniel Carlsten Steven Heller : hellerbooks.com Manual — Slice Slice works with world-renowned industrial designers to create innovative cutting tools for the home and office.

The identity system needed to be easily applied to multiple packaging forms yet consistently deliver the brand message even in the absence of product and point of purchase materials. Manual approached the design of the logo and packaging in parallel. We realized there was an opportunity to forge a perfect unity between the logo and the graphic identity as expressed in the packaging. By simply cutting away at the word Slice at an angle, it not only made the logotype more edgy and dynamic, but also allowed us to exploit the angled slice across numerous packaging executions. The angled slice was further employed as a distinctive graphic element across product brochures, screen printed promotional posters, and trade show exhibition design.
