These remarkable pieces actively merge typologies, transforming chairs into the bases of umbrellas, closets into seating areas, and even cigarette smoking areas. Chermayeff's objects go beyond mere tools; they become a mise-en-sce?ne for everyday life, orchestrating our interactions through the pieces themselves and the space created in-between. The series, primarily constructed from galvanised steel and mirrored surfaces, is printed on glossy paper with metallic stamping throughout the design index. Additionally, a separate booklet is inserted within the PVC dust jacket. Architect and editor Jack Self provides an introduction to the book, delving into his personal fascination with these objects. Meanwhile, curator Alexandra Cunningham Cameron conducts an extensive interview with Chermayeff, exploring the ideas behind Beasts and the philosophy of his broader design and architecture practice. Captured by Jeroen Verrecht, the photographs showcase the pieces both on the streets of Barcelona and as an installation at Side Gallery.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9788409389841\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Sam Chermayeff","offers":[{"title":"Paperback \/ softback","offer_id":44093555015930,"sku":"9788409389841","price":29.16,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/4297\/2845\/products\/noImage_1_ba303193-bdfc-4d1d-b652-5e29f3a4dee8.jpg?v=1663692514","url":"https:\/\/shulphink.com\/products\/sam-chermayeff-beasts-9788409389841","provider":"Shulph Ink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
