MACHINE-GENERATED SUMMARY NOTE: "Was hat gerade Romantik mit Design der Gegenwart zu tun? Der zunehmenden Globalisierung, Mobilität, der allgegenwärtigen Informationsflut, zunehmender Entfremdung und dem Verlust der Privatsphäre werden neue Werte wie Individualität, Sinnlichkeit, Unverwechselbarkeit und Naturverbundenheit entgegengesetzt. Romantische Tendenzen zeigen sich unter anderem an Mustern, Materialien und Verarbeitungsmethoden, aber auch an Konzepten, die poetische, ironische und sogar abgru¨ndige Prinzipien der Romantik aufgreifen und neu interpretieren. Diese Auspra¨gungen sind in diesem Katalog durch beispielhaft ausgewa¨hlte Arbeiten von international bedeutenden Designerinnen und Designern vertreten." -- "What does romanticism have to do with contemporary design? The increasing globalization, mobility, the ubiquitous flood of information, increasing alienation and the loss of privacy are opposing new values such as individuality, sensuality, uniqueness and closeness to nature. Romantic tendencies can be seen, for example, in patterns, materials and processing methods, but also in concepts that take up and reinterpret poetic, ironic and even abysmal principles of Romanticism. These designs are represented in this catalog by selected works by internationally renowned designers."

MACHINE-GENERATED SUMMARY NOTE: "In literature, music and art, the term 'Romanticism' refers to an era that began around the time of the French Revolution and continued into the Victorian period. Today we associate the word with attributes such as 'dreamy,' 'rhapsodic' and 'poetic,' but also with 'self-absorbed' or even 'kitsch.' This volume identifies a shift in contemporary design toward themes of metamorphosis, heroic individualism, reverie and pastoralism--all key concerns of the Romantic era, which may be seen as offering an alternative heritage to the more austere precedent of modernist design. Products by Atelier NL, Barnaby Barford, Pieke Bergmans, Tord Boontje, Ronan and Erwan Bouroullec, Hussein Chalayan, Formafantasma, Martino Gamper, Max Lamb, Doshi Levien, Makkink & Bey, Ingo Maurer, Jo Meesters, Nendo, Bertjan Pot, Philippe Starck, Mats Theselius, Ionna Vautrin, Sylvain Willenz and many others are surveyed."
