LIVING IN

MODERN MASTERPIECES OF RESIDENTIAL ARCHITECTURE

Take a rare look inside of some of the world’s most extraordinary homes, curated by leading design platform Openhouse.

Openhouse has spent the last six years giving readers a closer look at some of the most extraordinary houses around the globe. In their first book, the editors open the doors to their highlights, including exclusive photography and rarely seen homes.

With a range of architectural styles from Brutalism to 20th-century mastery from the likes Walter Gropius and Ludwig Mies van der Rohe, this book portrays the stories of architects and residents of the most remarkable and inspiring living spaces around the world. Enter the adobe house of Georgia O'Keefe in New Mexico, step into the Modernist Casa Pedregal designed by Luis Barragán in Mexico City, and discover the sensorial architecture of George Nakashima's house, studio, and workshop in New Hope, Pennsylvania.

From case study houses to cutting edge contemporary architecture, Living In describes what it feels like to occupy these spaces from the perspective of their owners—who themselves have become stewards of architectural history.

BOXED & LABELLED TWO!

NEW APPROACHES TO PACKAGING DESIGN

The suggestive power of packaging as a communication tool.

Boxed & Labelled Two! is a compelling exploration of the power of state-of-the-art packaging design today and documents its main strategic directions—all of which address a longing for “truthfulness.” Because our relationship to food products has changed so drastically in the last few years, especially in regard to the importance we place on the source and quality of ingredients, the majority of the examples in this book are food-related. But other examples from a wide spectrum of products also highlight the traits that distinguish those on the cutting edge of the evolution in packaging concepts.

BESONDERE BUCHLÄDEN UND IHRE GESCHICHTEN

Immer den Büchern nach – eine Auswahl der schönsten und innovativsten Buchläden der Welt.

Die Läden selbst sind so unterschiedlich wie ihre Besitzer. Es gibt kleine Buchhandlungen, in denen Bücher bis unter die Decke gestapelt sind, minimalistische Konzeptstores und wahre Buchtempel; sie befinden sich in Wohnungen, auf Booten oder in gotischen Kirchen. Do you read me? versammelt Buchläden aus aller Welt und stellt einige der Menschen vor, die sie zu einzigartigen Orten machen.

SHE SURF

THE RISE OF FEMALE SURFING

She Surf celebrates the diverse, vibrant, and engaged community of female riders making waves around the globe.

From its Polynesian origins to the beaches of California, the art of surfing has become a truly global phenomenon with millions of wave riders living to the rhythm of the tides. While surfing is usually told through a male perspective, women have long been nurturing their own water stories and claiming their rightful place in the world of this sport. She Surf hails the women, past and present, who define the art of surfing.

Travel with Stephanie Gilmore, one of the greatest surfers in the world set to represent Australia at the Tokyo 2020 Summer Olympic Games; meet Chloe Calmon, a Brazilian expert in longboarding or discover Ishita Malaviya, India's first professional female surfer and her impact on her local community. Thanks to evocative imagery and insightful text written by professional surfer Lauren L. Hill, this book travels from the iconic waves of Hawai'i to lesser-known surf destinations such as Taghazout and Tofino. She Surf also explores many other incredible surf spots in the Seychelles, along the Tuscan coastline in Italy, and in the French Basque Country.

Learn about the forgotten stories of Polynesian surfing princess, pioneering female wave riders from the 1960s, and the contemporary movers and shakers shaping the scene. She Surf is an exciting reflection on what it means to be a female surfer and how it feels to be moved to action by the beauty of the ocean.
