The Power of Things

The Power of Things: The Secondary Role of Design, Antonín Tomášek, FUD UJEP, 2021, 112 pp., Illustrations: A. Svobodová

The monography The Power of Things presents the vision and creative processes of designer Antonín Tomášek. The pulsating, ambiguous playfulness of meanings offered by the Czech title MOC — power, influence, strength versus measure, oversaturation, even excess — intuitively underscores the role of things and points to the connections between us and objects.

The book won third place in the Czech competition for the Most Beautiful Czech Books in the Books on Visual Arts category.
