Hook Book – almost 1000 catalogs the indefatigable Italian’s recent focus on hooks, as suggested by the title. It is a beautifully designed object, crafted by Åbäke and showcasing the design studio’s playful sophistication. Featuring a glorious array of papers and printing techniques, Gamper’s thousand-odd (and sometimes truly odd) hooks are displayed in all their variety. Each hook is a minor feat on its own, and together, they form a comprehensive taxonomy of materials and processes, presenting a single archetype extrapolated into countless variations.
