Summary:

"At the heart of this book lies a unique tradition. A ritual that is more than a creative exercise; it is a transfer of momentum--that breaks paradigms, encourages risk-taking, and sparks transformation through play. A Yoyo is a simple object, yes, but one that invites bold questions, material experiments, and conceptual freedom. What emerges is a collection of ideas reflecting the Studio's spirit: reinvention, poetic, precise, and curious. As Europe's most awarded independent design studio, PHOENIX has been a place where innovation meets intention. The Studio opens a door through this book for the first time, capturing a piece of that journey and celebrating design as a way of thinking, feeling, and reimagining the world. “Design a Yoyo!” - a task that has been given to each and every intern since 1987. Except, it usually does not stop there: Sven Feustel, Principal Designer and Head of the PHOENIX Academy has been intensively involved for years with current trends and future fields that are changing the world. Influences that are also reflected in the choice of theme for the Yoyo task: Some examples are Yoyos made of recycled plastic, assembled in the lightest possible construction, or made of pasta. innovation - as a recurring confrontation with the familiar, the unknown, the complex or the simple"--Provided by publisher.
