Reflections / Small Stuff
|
|
 |
|
Reflections, the new book about UNStudio’s Small Stuff, presents a selection of interiors, installations, pavilions and products from the last 20 years. The 30 projects are organised in pairs which form each other’s mirror image, illustrating the idea of reflection and its manifold meanings at literal and symbolic levels. Scattered throughout the book are statements by Ben van Berkel and Caroline Bos expressing the thoughts behind each design. These texts bear witness to the theoretical richness and versatility at the basis of UNStudio’s highly particular approach to architecture and design.
With Graphic design by Rein Steger, Proxi Design.
With photographs by among others Arjan Benning, Iwan Baan and Christian Richters. |
