Description: This book is about makers of conceptual crafts (vrije vormgeving) and their work. It sets conceptual crafts within the broad context of the worlds of contemporary art and design. The six essays and numerous images sketch a picture of the past, present and future conceptual crafts. The book represents a snapshot of a profession that continues to develop. Crafts and decorative art are changing rapidly as a result of the growing interaction with the visual arts, architecture and design and as a reaction to social changes resulting from globalisation, technological progress and the demand for sustainable design. These changes have created a new identity for makers of conceptual crafts, whose essence is curiosity, constant innovation and the desire to produce multifaceted work with a strong commercial appeal.
Notes: Special cover: the word "vorm" is cut out.
