商品描述

The fifth issue of the annual magazine that promotes know-how and technique in design, craft or industry looks at the act of spinning.

To Spin. The world is spinning, and so is everything on it: you and me, the trees, the oceans, and the mountains. We may have deluded ourselves into thinking everything is stationary, but the reality is that we're perpetually in motion. The planet is spinning around its axis and orbiting around the sun, and in a way, at this very moment, we are all products of rotation: life on Earth is only possible because of the cycles of days, seasons, and years.

As Simon Bauchet writes in his article "Spinning Machines", humans have always used rotational movement to run machines and produce the material world around us. To Spin is more than just a word: it's a dynamic, a force, a necessity, even a philosophy. Craftspeople know this well. Their workshops are filled with spinning objects: the potter's wheel, the wood turner's lathe, the spool of a spinner who pulls wool to make yarn. Glass, too, can be spun by glassblowers into rondels, discs that capture the light and are the ancestors of our modern windowpanes. Antique glass is evidence of this know-how: irregular and vibrant, its appearance reflects its own artisanal production. It's not an easy material to work with: you have to understand its rhythm, guide its movement, and follow the direction of the shape it wants to take, rather than fighting it. We wonder: why does rotation often make it more docile? Why does spinning it make it lighter? Everything hinges on mastering the spin, on the balance between speed and precision. Every movement, every rotation, matters. Too fast, and it all collapses; too slow, and nothing takes shape.

We also look further afield. We brush up on basic physics: centrifugal, gravitational, and gyroscopic forces, like those that allow a frisbee to glide through the air. Wherever energy is found in nature's chaotic movements, people have usually managed to capture it with technologies that turn. Windmills, those testaments to centuries of ingenuity, their sails moving in the slightest breeze, have today been replaced by hydroelectric turbines, often gigantic, that transform the energy in water into electricity. Wind spinners, kinetic sculptures that make the wind visible through continuous rotation, reflect our need to play with movement—not just to use it, but also to admire it for what it is: a phenomenon both powerful and hypnotic
