    Jim

    , , , ,
    Sports coach and great motivator, Jim invites you to his gymnastics class, encouraging you to keep up the pace until the end! Warm-up, workout, stretching, relaxation... Nine gym exercises come to life under your hands thanks to Marion Bataille’s lively (and muscular!) pop-ups. This book was born out of real gymnastics classes, where Marion Bataille uses colors to bring movement to life: red to show the parts of the body warming up, blue to represent the air flowing through us as we exercise, and yellow to evoke the walls of the gym. Printed with Pantone colors, Jim is a little gem created by one of the most beloved pop-up book artists. It's a treat for both adults and children, for sports lovers and even for those who prefer to just watch from the sidelines. Ready to begin?

    Super-Duper

    ,
    Not all superheroes are the same—everyone knows that! Take Eagle-Eye, for example, who can always find Dad’s glasses, the car keys, and the cellphone; or Micro-Wave, who heats up lunch and dinner with a single touch; or Factotum, who fixes anything by turning his hands into tools. With Super-Duper, however, it’s a whole different story! Super-Duper is convinced he has extraordinary powers, such as making flowers grow (which actually grow on their own), moving the Sun through yoga (an activity that at least keeps him fit), or stopping the rain (something that sometimes happens after days of intense concentration), and so on. There is, however, one person for whom Super-Duper truly is a superhero: his beloved Granny, whom he visits often and helps in every possible way. For her, he really does find a way to make flowers grow, move the Sun, stop the rain and, above all, he has the power to… make her laugh out loud! A gentle story in which care and empathy for those we love make even the hardest and most unimaginable things possible.

    C’è Una Cosa in Ogni Cosa

    ,
    If you look closely, in all the things we know (and often love), there is always something else. In a shell, there is a hermit crab. In an envelope, there are often other envelopes. In places, there are different people and situations. On a sunny or rainy day, there are different moods... And in us? In us, too, there is something. Because in addition to our organs, there are emotions, sensations, memories...

    Pinocchio

    ,
    This is the story of a puppet who wishes only to become a real boy: a curious creature embarking on an adventurous journey in search of himself. The book is being published to mark the bicentenary of Carlo Collodi’s birth. We wanted to celebrate a classic of children’s literature by publishing Pinocchio in an illustrated version narrated by Sven Völker, who, with care and respect for the original, reworks the story of the world’s most famous puppet, presenting it to us from a new perspective: that of a ‘machine’ that wishes to become ‘human’. A surprisingly topical perspective on our present day, in which digital machines are taking the place of human beings.

    Solo Una Notte

    A hiker sets out toward a mountain, walking along rivers and trails, and as evening falls he pitches his tent in the forest and goes to sleep. During the night, the forest comes alive with extraordinary presences: animals running, jumping, and playing around the tent, mysterious creatures that appear and disappear. When the man steps outside with his flashlight to understand what is happening, he finds nothing. And yet something is there: a gentle yeti picking flowers, UFOs landing silently with curious aliens, ghosts toasting with flying witches, a sea creature emerging from the lake, and a brilliantly colored comet passing right over his head. In the morning the forest is quiet again, as if nothing had happened. But did it really happen? Did the night reveal the magical face of nature, or does it all belong to dreams and imagination? Andrea Antinori is the author of Solo una notte a silent book in which every page is colorful and rich in details that invite the reader to explore the wonders hidden by the night: a living, surprising world that gradually reveals itself, between reality and imagination, ready to be discovered with curious eyes.

    Rocco

    ,
    Rocco is a crocodile that swims like a crocodile, moves like a crocodile, and eats like any other crocodile-or at least tries to. How, on the other hand, would a crocodile like Rocco get out of the way if he fell into a very deep hole? In a dense jungle and its underground, to the rhythm of Andrés López's brushstrokes, unfolds the adventure of the crocodile Rocco, who, with the help of other animals, tries by all means to get out of the trap in which he has gotten himself into. A bittersweet book that with its delicacy in the ending snatches a smile of relief.... But perhaps not for the little possum....

    Je N’aurai Plus Peur / I Will No Longer Be Afraid

    ,
    In the quiet of the night, a mother and her son begin a difficult conversation. The child hesitates to tell of a scene of violence he witnessed at school. He understands its gravity all the more because he fled a country at war. Memories of that traumatic past overlay the present, and the boundary between the events blurs to better illuminate the mechanisms of fear. Thanks to his mother’s listening and love, he finds the courage to act. Determined to speak about it at school the next day, the child falls asleep at peace. A sensitive and profound picture book about violence, war, and resilience.

    Ombrella / Umbrella

    , ,

    Umbrella the bat wakes up from a long winter sleep. A gust of wind takes her to an unknown place. Her eyes hardly recognize things, but they can feel the light: a treasure is shining in the water. It’s an egg! Umbrella broods on it, and one day realizes that bats don’t lay eggs… when the egg hatches, a duckling comes out of it! The duckling doesn’t know the first thing about ducks or bats, but one thing he does have is a loving parent standing above him as he learns how to smooth his feathers and to swim in the water.

    The mind-blowing and light-emanating gouache paintings echo a strong, poetic text. By up-and-coming author Pierre Alexis, winner of the Montreuil Festival Pépite Award of the Best Illustrated Book 2022 for Règlobus.

    Lines

    , ,
    It all starts with a line , whether it's drawn with a pencil on paper or with skates on the surface of a frozen lake. With this new silent book, Suzy Lee once again blurs the lines between reality and fiction, between drawing and story. The entertaining—and seemingly simple—story of a young skater who whizzes and pirouettes on the ice creates a play of references between the author's line and the character's evolution , revealing the playful dimension of drawing.

    Never Content

    , , , ,
    Originally conceived as a work of sculpture issued from Munari’s researches on the subject of multiples, Aconà Biconbì was manufactured as a “game” for the first time in 1961 by Danese. Aconà Biconbì is available in 4 different colours (red, blue, white and green). Its modules are made of circular disks with a hole in the middle, laterally folded so that they can be freely joined together. The result is a complex three-dimensional structure, that changes into unlimited combinations depending on the number of the modules and their disposition. Source of inspiration for many designers and artists worldwide, Aconà Biconbì has often been reinvented and “moulded” in several ways and with different materials. Following the direction outlined in Corraini by Il gioco dell’amore e del caso by Paul Cox and Scatola di architettura MC N.1 and Poliscopio by Bruno Munari, Aconà Biconbì continues to discover the domain of artists’ objects and games, in order to develop a brand-new collection.

    Basello – Castiglioni in 2 sec. Flip-book

    , , , ,
    “We can speak about industrial design in different ways: talking about or drawing an idea, through a critical essay, staging a show, with images, audio-video or, why not, with a new type of language as in this flip-book. I have been asked several times to write a book on the stories surrounding my father Achille’s designs, including anecdotes and episodes related to my family sphere. In this first project I wanted to ofer, in two seconds, one story of industrial design. Respecting the irony of an extraordinary father, I wanted to bring to light some lesser-known details of his, my and our private life, translating what I normally do when I talk about his projects into graphic form.” – Giovanna Castiglioni This flip-book is dedicated to Basello, a mobile piece of furniture designed by Achille Castiglioni in 1978. Its function can be declined in many ways: a desk, a bedside table, a ladder, a seat... eventually evolving into the mobile bookcase Joy. This volume was selected by the ADI Permanent Design Observatory as an example of the best Italian design put into production.

    When the Shadows Lengthen

    , ,
    “Do you hear the silence? Silence makes noise… and among the advancing shadows, silence is in the longest wait.” An incredibly delicate colour palette brings us back to the warmth and atmosphere of sunset on a hot summer’s day. Written and illustrated by Giulia Vetri, When the Shadows Lengthen is a book that reminds us of the importance of contemplating silence and the art of waiting. Starting with a poem written by the author on a long summer day spent at her grandmother’s house in the Italian countryside, this book details the many moments that mark the arrival of evening inside and outside the walls of a house surrounded by hills, trees, and rivers. Something happens on every page, and yet every action, every gesture, speaks above all of the silence that surrounds everything, in the tranquillity of sunset and as the shadows lengthen.
