MACHINE-GENERATED SUMMARY NOTE: "Influenced by the currently very popular do-it-yourself movement, the contemporary design scene is shaped by a creative fusion of production and consumption. When it comes to the development of a self-made furniture culture, this book project combines for the first time design history research and consumerism theory with historical and contemporary construction instructions and interior design recommendations. Across five chapters, design history and everyday culture are vividly and closely examined. What are their origins? Which media and channels are used to pass on experiences and practical instructions? Who exchanges information with whom and under what circumstances? And what has changed since the advent of the era of digital modernity?" --

MACHINE-GENERATED SUMMARY NOTE: "Die nach wie vor wachsende Begeisterung für die kreativen Möglichkeiten und sinnlich erfahrbaren Aspekte des Selbermachens prägt das gegenwärtige Designgeschehen maßgeblich durch seine Fusion von Produktion und Konsum. Als Breitenphänomen sind Do-it-yourself und Prosumer-Kultur eine durchaus widersprüchliche Erscheinung: Während einerseits die Befreiung von Konsumzwängen, Geschmacksdogmen und Gestaltungsnormen in Aussicht gestellt wird, werden gleichzeitig neue Technologien, Produktionsweisen und Vertriebsstrategien auf ihre Marktkompabilität erprobt. Die vorliegende Publikation - deren Titel auf die legendären "Nomadic Furniture"-Handbücher der 1970er-Jahre verweist - zeigt erstmals die Entwicklung des Möbelselbstbaus und bietet zahlreiche historische und aktuelle Bauanleitungen, die im designhistorischen und soziokulturellen Kontext behandelt werden: Woher kommt die DIY-Bewegung? Wer sind ihre Akteure? Wo und wie kommunizieren sie miteinander? Welche Rollen spielen Freiheit, Kreativität, Ästhetik und Perfektion für das DIY? _ über die Beziehung zwischen Designgeschichte und Alltagskultur _ Entwicklung der Do-it-yourself-Idee für den Möbelbau _ Fusion von Produktion und Konsum als prägende Faktoren der Designszene _ enthält historische und aktuelle Bauanleitungen." -- "The still growing enthusiasm for the creative possibilities and sensually experienceable aspects of DIY-making characterizes the current design process decisively through its fusion of production and consumption. As a broad phenomenon, do-it-yourself and prosumer culture are a contradictory phenomenon. While the liberation from consumer pressures, tastes and design standards is promised on the one hand, new technologies, production methods and sales strategies are being tested for their market compatibility at the same time. The present publication - whose title refers to the legendary "Nomadic Furniture" manuals of the 1970s - shows for the first time the development of furniture self-assembly and offers numerous historical and current building instructions, which are treated in the design-historical and socio-cultural context: where does the DIY movement come from ? Who are their actors? Where and how do they communicate with each other? What roles do freedom, creativity, aesthetics and perfection play for DIY? _ about the relationship between design history and everyday culture _ development of the do-it-yourself idea for furniture making _ fusion of production and consumption as defining factors in the design scene _ contains historical and current building instructions." --
