Broken. Mending and repair in a throwaway world
Mending and repair in a throwaway world
2023 || Hardcover || Katie Treggiden e.a. || Idea Books B.V.
We live in a single-use society, where fashion is fast, disposability is the norm and it is easier to replace than to repair. We don't need to mend things anymore – and yet we do. What is it about Homo faber – man the maker – that cannot resist fixing what is broken?
As we start to decouple from the linear take-make-waste model that has dominated Western economies since the Industrial Revolution and seek something more circular, an enquiry into what mending means has never been more urg...

2022 || Hardcover || Kara Walker || Idea Books B.V.
Over the course of 202-2021, during the pandemic, Kara Walker has produced series of drawings in the style of a medieval 'Book of Hours'.

2021 || Hardcover || Brencht Deseure || Idea Books B.V.
Aan het einde van de achttiende eeuw vielen de Franse revolutionairen de Zuidelijke Nederlanden binnen.

De Antwerpse aristocraat Pierre Goetsbloets was een rabiaat tegenstander van de Revolutie. Hij behoorde tot de financiële toplaag van de stad en stond erg kritisch tegenover het Franse bewind. Voor edell...

2022 || Hardcover || Bart Lodewijks e.a. || Idea Books B.V.
Situated in the middle of the river Maas, between the northern and southern parts of Rotterdam, Noordereiland is shaped like a typical riverboat. Bart Lodewijks trekked from its western to its eastern end, making his drawings in chalk on commercial buildings, ship cabins, quay walls, houses, and steel pipes. He then wrote a poetic account of the life he encountered on the island, published in three parts. His presence as an outsider there elicited both questions and stories from the island’...

For Clever Scholars, Astronomers and Doctors

This large-format book first appeared in 2001, and then again in 2004.
