Tangible presents graphic-inspired design, objects and orchestrated spaces by exceptional youngcreatives that are producing striking visual and spatial work.The borders between graphic design, illustration, art, interior design, architectureand craftsmanship are becoming increasingly blurred. More than ever before,graphic design is being used as the underlying medium together with multiplepractices to manifest creative visions. Following in the footsteps of Hidden Track(2005) and Tactile (2007), Tangible presents further developments from the workof young designers and artists who are experimenting with this multidisciplinaryapproach and creating outstanding original tangible designs.These designers from different disciplines are choosing to no longer work exclusivelyin two dimensions, instead dealing intensively with space, materials andphysical products. Each chapter in the book features different trends and stylesdemonstrating various approaches and solutions to this new area of graphicdesign. Graphics morph into spatial sculptures, the intangible is made visualthrough handmade craftsmanship, physical experiences, visual environmentsand staged spatial installations such as art installations, interiors and architectureas well as urban interventions.The striking visual work in Tangible indicates the rise of graphic-inspired interiordesigns as artists, graphic designers, typographers and illustrators transformtheir ideas into shops, restaurants, hotels and fair stand designs.
