Curious Boym: Design Works
This whimsical book presents the whimsical designs of Constantin Boym and his partner Laurene Leon Boym in all their good humor and raw fun. Like Curious George, Boym finds the extraordinary in the ordinary and makes the mundane into something magical. Though best known for his "monuments to disasters" series (tiny metal souvenirs of buildings like Three Mile Island and the Watergate), Boym has been designing a broad range of products, furniture, and installations for the last 20 years. All of it-from sofas made out of parts from Sears catalogs to dishes modeled after frozen food trays-reveals his delight in design. Curious Boym explores all the varied mediums that Boym explores.

Keepsakes
Introducing Keepsakes: A Design Memoir, by noted Russian designer Constantin Boym. Featuring a specially curated group of personal objects, some designed by Boym, and others collected through his travels from Russia to Turkey, Italy, Qatar, but all accompanied by a witty commentary on the objects themselves as well as what they mean to him. Each brings up a different story, but is always referenced back as a source and inspiration for Boym's design principles and process. Through these often humble objects, items providing insights into the life and culture of the people using or making them, Boym points out enduring truths for today.
Ecophilia
Ecophilia is a project by award-winning designer and educator Constantin Boym, presented in collaboration with Available Items. Inspired by Italian designer Enzo Mari's famous open-source book, Autoprogettazione, and the belief that eco-humanism needs to find its expression in design, Ecophilia is a series of modern habitats for plants and animals that anyone can build using materials and tools that are accessible, economical, and environmentally sound.The book contains detailed instructions and drawings for building and installing each piece - ranging from bird and bat houses to herb planters and worm towers. It also includes historical context and an inspiring foreword written by James Wines, artist, architect, and founder of the influential environmental design studio SITE.
Architecture of the Off-Modern
This is an imaginative tour through the history and afterlife of Vladimir Tatlin's legendary but unbuilt Monument to the Third International of 1920. Boym traces the vicissitudes of Tatlin's Tower from its reception in the 1920s to its privileged recall in 'the reservoir of unofficial utopian dreams' of the Soviet-era.
Strangely Familiar
In the past decade, designers have become increasingly engaged with the quotidian.
To Describe a Life
From the civil rights movement to Black Lives Matter, issues of race, representation, and violence inform this interrogation of art and its necessity in times of crisis.
Dwell
At Dwell, we're staging a minor revolution. We think that it's possible to live in a house or apartment by a bold modern architect, to own furniture and products that are exceptionally well designed, and still be a regular human being. We think that good design is an integral part of real life. And that real life has been conspicuous by its absence in most design and architecture magazines.

Bangkok Design
Global design is being spiced up by fresh flavours from Bangkok. Today's young Thai designers create contemporary furniture and interior textiles that appeal to the most sophisticated international tastes, but using tropical Asian accents. The Thais' favourite ingredients are natural materials, fine craftsmanship and inspiration from local culture, which they mix using the kind of eclecticism that makes Thai cooking so delicious. This elegant book goes beyond conventional guides on interior design style to focus on the designers themselves, their philosophies, and how they interpret their unique culture in design. Bangkok DESIGNis the first book of its kind, exploring the acclaimed new furni...
