AEKI: Experimental Design and Functional Art

Published by Veenman Publishers.
Introduction and text by Dingeman Kuilman, Dennis Elbers.

Who hasn't wished they could play with or at least reach out and touch the display items when visiting a design exhibition? Aeki (that's Ikea spelled backwards) collects all of the experimental design objects featured at a recent Dutch exhibition wherein the works were explicitly not off limits to the public, as well as dynamic and playful installation shots of the objects in their much homier-than-usual setting--a customized museum romper room. The design of the book itself is universally charming, and the objects are both humorous and outstanding. For example, there is an arm chair made from a recycled metal shopping cart; a toilet built for two; an undulating Ping-Pong table; a coat rack made from a garden rake; and an automatic-rifle-esque ketchup dispenser attachment. At the end of the book is a guide to all of the participating designers and design firms with complete contact information.
