Raddar 1: Function Design Annual Review

ORIGINALLY AU$86

Switzerland’s first dedicated research design journal, Raddar aims to strike a balance between solid scholarly content and attractive graphic design. For its inaugural issue, it explores the theme 'function' with a range of approaches in various analyses, case studies, and contributions from Roberto Casati, Anna-Maria Meister, and more. The journal’s cover is also a creative work in its own right, designed this time by Formafantasma, the Amsterdam-based studio headed by Andrea Trimarchi and Simone Farresin. Carefully folded and perforated, it is divided into partitions that point to the possibility of cutting the paper into different segments and thereby providing a variety of possibilities.

200 pages, 20 x 25cm, softcover, T&P Publishing (Paris).
