Muller Van Severen
The work of photographer Fien Muller and artist Hannes Van Severen lies on the edge between art and design: they favour functional furniture with refined shapes and contours, but at the same time the pieces also have something fragile and frivolous about them. What began as a one-off project for Fien Muller and Hannes Van Severen has turned into quite a success story. With their joint design project Muller Van Severen as its focus, the book is divided into three main sections - Introduction, Process and Objects. Also included are texts based on interviews with the designers themselves, the design journalist Chris Meplon and the London curator and critic Max Fraser.

Designers on Design
Cell phones, watches, coffee cups, grand pianos, light fixtures, even a dog house. Consumer products are brought to life through designers’ imagination and ingenuity, and Terence Conran and Max Fraser present some of the biggest names in the business and the items they’ve created. Between the covers of Designers on Design are interviews with more than a hundred designers, who answer such questions as: What was your big break?; What or who has most influenced your work?; What elements of the design process do you find particularly frustrating?; and To what level will you compromise to satisfy your client? This beautifully illustrated book shows key pieces from each designer, along with a timeline that highlights major developments in the field from the early 1900s to the beginning of this century. Designers on Design provides a rare insight into the creative thought processes of today’s leading designers in their own words.

Janus
Janus - intelligence specialist, hacker, dominant, imprisoned by the past I have memories I can’t recover, and secrets I can’t let out. People die around me, an endless cycle of history repeating. My enemies like to make them look like suicides, just to keep the mental pressure on. Now the whole team is looking into my life, moving every rock, sifting through the dirt, delving into the jungle that is Washington DC to find how deep this conspiracy around me goes, and how long it has been there. They are looking for the answers that could set me free. Or as free as I'll ever be, because it's the last secret that I alone hold that is the lock on the door of my prison. And rightly so. I donâ...

Lanny
Longlisted for the 2019 Booker Prize An entrancing new novel by the author of the prizewinning Grief Is the Thing with Feathers There’s a village an hour from London. It’s no different from many others today: one pub, one church, redbrick cottages, some public housing, and a few larger houses dotted about. Voices rise up, as they might anywhere, speaking of loving and needing and working and dying and walking the dogs. This village belongs to the people who live in it, to the land and to the land’s past. It also belongs to Dead Papa Toothwort, a mythical figure local schoolchildren used to draw as green and leafy, choked by tendrils growing out of his mouth, who awakens after a gloriou...
