Freedom of the press, freedom of conscience and teaching, personal freedom, fair taxation and education for all — almost 200 years ago, these were the core demands of a movement that campaigned for a democratic basic order. Without success at the time. The history of democracy in Germany is closely linked to a history of failure. The constitution, which protects the population, was not established until 1949 and is still the foundation of democratic coexistence in Germany. But this basic order is currently coming under pressure. Anti-constitutional forces are working hard to question, delegitimize, relativize, undermine and revise it. Disappointed hopes, misunderstandings about how democracy works and a lack of willingness to participate are frustrating. There is much to be done. But society has countless opportunities to get involved: for diversity, for an open society, for human rights, for freedom and peace, for economic and social stability. Sous les pavés, la plage. Artist book by Pio Rahner, published by Textem Verlag. Typeface in use: KMR Melange Grotesk.

Stefan Troendle is a Product Designer based in Munich, working across a broad spectrum of design disciplines including industrial design, lighting design, and scenography. His interdisciplinary approach enables him to develop projects that combine functional, technical, and spatial considerations while responding to the specific requirements of each context. Regardless of scale or application, his work is guided by the conviction that design gains relevance only when it positively influences everyday life and creates meaningful experiences for its users. This publication documents a selection of projects developed between 2016 and 2022, providing an overview of the diversity and evolution of his work during this period. The design concept of the book is intentionally restrained and systematic, drawing inspiration from technical documentation, archival publications, and industrial catalogues. A clear typographic hierarchy, precise grid structure, and consistent visual language create a framework that emphasizes clarity, accessibility, and legibility. The resulting visual language conveys a technical and archival atmosphere while reinforcing the publication’s role as a comprehensive record of Troendle’s body of work and design methodology.

A receipt is a unique singular object. It shows a certain number, given to you at a certain place, in a certain year, on a certain day, at a certain time. A unique object which is not replicable. Taiwan’s invoice system is unique in the world in the sense that every receipt must follow the same printed format specified by the government. In addition, an accompanying lottery-like mechanism is implemented to give different prizes to some invoice holders periodically as an incentive for citizens to request receipts upon transaction. This projects documents Taiwan’s printed receipts which slowly fall into oblivion, due to its replacement through digital versions. The book can be seen as an abstract mapping of interactions of trade over a certain time. It connects each receipt to the time and place of its origin. In the Editorial Design I tried to take an every day object and place it in a different context, so that it is seen with new eyes and tells its own unique story. Typeface in use: Ando

A phenomenon of light. Visual perception that enables one to differentiate something otherwise identical looking. Defining quality of an object or substance by light reflected by the object. The portfolio of the French product designer Mathilde Lafaille was created with the intention to mirror her lively and colorful work and personality. Mathilde has an artistic and experimental approach to objects. Her practice through design is playful, intuitive, and poetic. She is interested in the relationship between objects and visual art. It seems to her that objects are small creatures living and interacting with us and can change our perception of our daily life. Her work distinguishes itself by the sensitivity of colors and processes in design. The spectrum of colors used in this book serve as an index of the portfolio and bestow each project an individual signature. The colors guide the viewer through the book, so to speak, and resonate the aura of each project it contains.

Project documentation for Lotte – aiding independence in old age is the diploma project in the master in product design at ECAL by Sarah Hossli. We should all be able to get up and sit down on our own regardless of age or ability. However, due to age-related impairments this becomes challenging for many elderly people, limiting their freedom in everyday life. With its extended armrests that go all around and serve as a handrail, this armchair enables the user to get up intuitively in a position with minimal resistance. The design has been developed based on research carried out in care homes, prototype testing with residents, evaluations from medical and care experts, and the technical expertise of the Swiss furniture manufacturer Girsberger / Customized Furniture. The editorial design documents the process, the research and the result of this project. It reflects the with the typographic alignments on the subject matter in which it places certain elements in the centre of attention and highlights what is normally not.
