Pressestimmen
If you carry an umbrella, have Venetian blinds on your windows or have ever sat in a deck chair, you ve visited the land of objects that are Collapsible (Chronicle, 232 pages, $24.95 paper).
Danish designer Per Mollerup celebrates The Genius of Space-Saving Design (the book s subtitle) through text and 530 illustrations of items, past and present, that are foldable, expandable, retractable, inflatable, stackable or, yes, collapsible.
Among the earliest collapsibles is a camp bed more than 3,000 years old. Found in King Tut s tomb, the bed has copper hinges that allow it to be folded into thirds.
Of more recent vintage are folding scissors, maps, picket knives, tables and chairs, including those deck chairs that sometimes collapse when you re in them.
Some chair and tables are designed to be stackable, as are glasses and cups. And some cups are collapsible, making them easy to carry in pocket or purse.
Collapsible, too, are some things with wheels: bicycles, scooters, shopping carts, baby strollers and wheelchairs.
Inflatable rafts, mattresses, chairs and sofas are blown up. Things that pop up include books with 3-D graphics that fold and unfold as the pages are turned.
And don t forget the Optic Wonder.
This Italian-made optic equivalent of the pocket knife contains telescope, binoculars, compass, signal mirror, magnifying glass and stereoscopic viewer.
Amazingly, it folds to the size of a bar of soap. Chicago Tribune
The Venus flytrap, the peacock and the snail all practice the same strategy of survival. They adjust their size to meet a practical need. They're collapsible.
They're also examples of hinging, fanning and expansion - three of the twelve mechanical principles of man-made collapsible objects. True collapsible designs function in both active and passive states and can change repeatedly.
The ingenuity of man-made collapsibles is confirmed by Per Mollerup, internationally-known Danish designer and director of Mollrup Desig
Kurzbeschreibung
Everything from cameras that collapse to keyboards that curl, Murphy beds, folding scooters, portable showers--they're all here. The first ever of its kind, "Collapsible" is a comprehensive survey of all that breaks down, balls up, pulls apart, and stacks together. 360 photos.

A Great Resource
10. Januar 2002
Format:Taschenbuch
Per Mollerup has gathered some wonderful examples of utility and whimsy from around the world, and used those examples to illustrate "The Genius of Space Saving Design".
As an Industrtial Designer and Manufacturer, I loved this book as a way to recharge the creative side, reinforce the practical side, and marvel at the imagination and inspiration of other designers.
As a bonus, it was a great way to help my elementary school aged daughters understand the connection between design and products that they see every day.

Not bad, beware of the double title
22. September 2008
Format:Taschenbuch
It's not bad, plenty of pictures. Just beware that "Collapsibles - A Design Album of Space-Saving Objects" published by Per Mollerup is EXACTLY the same book as "Collapsible - The Genius of Space-Saving Design" published by Per Mollerup. They have different covers but everything from the page numbers to what's on each page is EXACTLY the same. They appear as different books on Amazon.com so we bought both and were a bit annoyed that we ended up with two copies of the same book, just with different covers.
