Cinq Cinq Designers. Design and designer book

When I was in Milan a few weeks ago I went to the Cinq Cinq show. i have had huge admiration for them for a while now, and I bought a small book by them whilst i was there. I have read it and it is a really great quick read. It details alot of their projects and gives a clear indication of their process and ideas on design, and the "medicine for objects", producing objects that prolong other objects that are seen as dead, or obsolete. Their approach is quite conceptual and extremely honest and really refreshing. A really fantastic company thoroughly focused on thinking! Clever and smart observation, and simple design solutions with real moral and social conscience.

designing interactions.

Just got through designing interactions by Bill Moggridge. Really fantastic and insightful book into the birth and development of interaction design as a discipline. There's some really fascinating parts of the book, what I found most interesting was the Doug Engelbart section on inventing the mouse, and printers for digital photography section. The book is great and I am going to re read it and make heaps of notes because it is probably the most comprehensive book on interaction design I have seen. Its really beautifully illustrated as well especially the drawings by Bill Verplank. A must read. Also there is a lecture by Moggridge at Stanford on YouTube about the book, with excerpts from the DVD. Link below.
