Notes: A collection of household objects designed by Lorenzo Prando and Riccardo Rosso from 1986-2009.  Commissioned  by Franco Debenedetti, the objects were sent as New Years' gifts to his friends.  The association of this book with a book of hours by Van Eyck or the Limbourg Bros. is due to the "ordinariness" of the objects, elevated to the status of art, and their presentation by year, which emphasizes the passage of time.
