Tools Magazine Issue 6 - To Blow

Tools magazine is the brainchild of Clémentine Berry, who also founded the Twice art direction studio in Paris. This annual publication aims to simultaneously promote and investigate the details of manufacturing techniques and expertise used in art, design, interior architecture, industry and trade. Each issue focuses on a particular technique (moulding, folding, etc.), and the theme is used to select feature subjects and pieces, as well as the persons interviewed. Tools is crafted as a comprehensive inventory of design techniques. Weaving together past and present, it draws on history to illustrate how techniques have been handed down through the ages, paying homage to the creators behind the cult objects we use in our everyday lives, and whose work embodies the stories that lie at the very genesis of our shared human ingenuity. Issue 6: To Blow The sixth issue of the annual magazine dedicated to the art of blowing and inflating, which highlights expertise and techniques in the fields of design, craftsmanship, and industry. Through a historical overview, factory reports, explorations of artisanal craftsmanship, and iconic pieces, Tools offers a reflection on the concepts of blowing and inflating—both past and present—with a particular focus on those who create the iconic objects of our daily lives and who are the guardians of the stories that shape our collective imagination.
