Wodurch erlangten Gegenstände des täglichen ländlichen Lebens in Portugal so viel Schönheit und Einfallsreichtum? Wie konnte die Form dieser Objekte das Gleichgewicht zwischen Notwendigkeit und formaler Perfektion so geschickt halten? Generationen von Versuch und Irrtum, individuelle Kunstfertigkeit und der Instinkt, mit den geringfügigsten Mitteln das Wesentliche herauszuarbeiten, beein usste Objekte, die das Leben in der vorindustriellen Gesellschaft sowohl lebenswert als auch sinnvoll machten. Diese Ein üsse untersucht das Buch. Die vom Designer Jasper Morrison fotografierten und beschriebenen Objekte stehen für ihre Schönheit und das Vorbild, das sie für Design in seiner reinsten Form abgeben.

Summary

By what means did so much beauty and ingenuity appear in articles of everyday rural life in Portugal? How did the shape of these objects balance necessity and formal perfection so skillfully? This book explores the effect that generations of trial and error, individual craftsmanship, and an instinct to carve out the essential with the slenderest of means brought to objects that made life both livable and meaningful to a pre-industrial society. The objects photographed and described by designer Jasper Morrison may be appreciated both for their beauty and for the example they set of design at its purest
