Hardback, 310x250mm, 144p, full colour colour illustrations, English/ French/ German edition . ISBN 9789058561336. Expo: 29/4/2006 - 25/6/2006 -previously announced-, Designmuseum, Gent Dit boek overbrugt een periode van meer dan 25 jaar en toont aan hoe de rol van product design geevolueerd is doorheen het werk van Enthoven Associates, een design consultancy uit Antwerpen (B). De basis van het boek is de beschrijving van vijf periodes aan de hand van visueel materiaal over de producten die ontwikkeld werden in die periode en van achtergrondverhalen van bevoorrechte waarnemers. Het toont ook hoe de diensten van design consultants veranderd zijn, net zoals design zelf: van de visie van een individuele ontwerper tot de gecombineerde deskundigheid van de leden van een team, van een eerder kunstzinnige blik op producten uit het dagelijkse leven tot een veel complexere toegevoegde waarde die kunst met technologie combineert of ethische waarden met marketing concepten. De laatste periode in het boek is de toekomst. Een concept rond de keuken van de toekomst, uitgevoerd in Living Tomorrow Amsterdam, en een onderzoeksproject rond 'ouder worden' illustreren de visie van Enthoven Associates op de rol van design voor het volgende decennium. This special book tides over a period of thirty years and show how the role of product design has evolved through the work of Enthoven Associates, an internationally operating design consultancy in Antwerp, led by Alain Denis, Axel Enthoven and Jean-Pierre Geelen. The services of design consultants have thoroughly changed, and the same goes for design itself: from the vision of an individual designer to the combined expertise of the members of a team, from a more artistic view on products from the daily life to a much more complex added value that combines art with technology or ethical values with marketing concepts. All these things are exemplified by a historical overview and dozens of detailed cases like the Magiq bus, the Brussels tram, the Genio bed, Living Tomorrow, the Ethnicraft chair, products for Tupperware 0 g.
