"Most arrangements go unnoticed, but some stop you dry." Originally published in 2003, the much requested Arranging Things: A Rhetoric of Object Placement by Leonard Koren uses the language of rhetoric to portray visual disposition as a “communicational act: its own form of aesthetic expression similar to a language”.
Koren's insightful meditation is summarized in eight rhetorical principles presented along with 23 idiosyncratic paintings by the artist Nathalie du Pasquier that illustrate the volume. With a cozy tone, Arranging Things offers an accessible strategy that can be used to analyze any arrangement.
On the return of popular demand, this new edition of Arranging Things presents the artistic works of Du Pasquier in a generous format to celebrate Koren's visual journey through the heart of the philosophy of design. Arranging Things is not simply a popular book on design; It is a historical text, a practical manifesto of aesthetic beauty, one to illuminate and expand the way we understand and organize our worlds.
