KANJI POWER
Souun Takeda
Kanji is simply defined as pictograms derived from Chinese that are used, in part, for writing the Japanese language. However, it’s not that simple. Japanese artist/calligrapher Souun Takeda has become a national leader in using and interpreting kanji in Japan. He writes about the “charm” of kanji, saying that the physical form of the letters adds meaning to the spoken word. “Kanji enables us to understand their deep meanings that we will never reach just by hearing them.” In this beautifully designed book, Takeda displays his spontaneous and disciplined calligraphy and explains the deep meanings of many words. For students of Eastern cultures, Japanese language or any type of calligraphy. Includes a panel discussion with kanji enthusiasts.

Logo A Lot
Nearly two inches thick, this indispensible resource guide contains wellrecognized logos (collected between 1980 and the present) designed by 172 of the world’s best-known graphic designers. Hard-bound and alphabetized by artist, this is a definitive volume of marketing iconography of the moment. Designers range from Seattle-based artist Art Chantry, who penned the most identifiable trademarks of the grunge era, to the global giant branding firm Siegel + Gale, as well as many worthy but lesser-known artists from Europe, North America and Asia. Entries span the spectrum from Fortune 500 companies to independent-label musicians to fashion designers and every type of brand in-between. An important addition to any graphic design library.

M/M (PARIS) RE-PRESENTS:
Inventory / Inventaire 2
For close to two decades, M/M (Paris), the high-octane design duo of Michael Amzalag and Mathias Augustyniak, has arguably influenced more aspects of contemporary art, fashion, music and publishing than any other designers. Their collaborations with hyper-stylish fashion designers (Yohji Yamamoto, Balenciaga, Givenchy), musicians (Björk, Madonna, Kanye West), magazines (French Vogue) and contemporary artists (Liam Gillick, Philippe Parreno, Pierre Huyghe) have resulted in a wealth of beautiful, barrier-breaking work.
A glossy, extensively illustrated catalog, inventory 2 includes reproductions and installation photos of posters, books, films, sculptural installations, lighting, candles, mirrors, frames and furniture pieces. As part of M/M’s new book-publishing venture, this is the second published “inventory” of the partnership’s work, an augmented version of the first edition from 2006.
Each object has its own page, and is annotated with a complete history of every exhibition or publication in which it has appeared. Just about everything the duo produces, from perfume to silk scarves to posters, is a collector’s item from the start. This indispensible reference for the worldwide fans of M/M (Paris), smartly designed and efficently produced, is likely on its way to becoming a collector’s item, too.
