Edited by Moritz Küng, this book looks back through nearly two decades of experimental projects undertaken by Berlin-based architect Sam Chermayeff and his collaborators. These 'creatures' are mostly pieces of furniture whose use, appearance, or application has been reimagined and readapted. Made to be lived with daily, they all start with the idea that personal whim is probably the best guide for producing any design meant to accompany everyday life. Photos of these objects go hand in hand with an essay by writer and curator Dieter Roelstraete, who explores Chermayeff's work through the lens of 'thing theory', a school of thought focusing on human-object interactions. Readers move back and forth between their own view of Chermayeff's creatures and Roelstraete's reflections on the nature of 'things', drawing on cultural figures like Heidegger, Francis Ponge, Marina Tsvetaeva, and Karl Ove Knausgård.
