Gray partitions, meeting rooms lit by fluorescent lights, expressionless employees. What is captured is not only an optimized workplace but also the boredom, loneliness, and inexplicable weariness of a controlled society.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe images, composed with strong colors and dry humor, are highly regarded as a masterpiece that visualizes the absurdity of modern labor.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe separate volume \"LA Office\" contains an unreleased series created in his later years. Set in the office culture of Los Angeles, it inherits the perspective of \"Office\" while showcasing a lighter observation and sophisticated color sense.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEven as times change, and desk spaces are replaced by co-working spaces and desktop PCs by smartphones, it quietly shows that the sense of stagnation lingering in human workplaces remains unchanged.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe design was handled by Greger Ulf Nilson, who has collaborated with Tunbjörk for many years. This highly accomplished new edition is re-edited while respecting the design of the 2001 version.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e[Title] Office \/ LA Office\u003cbr\u003e[Publisher] LOOSE JOINTS\u003cbr\u003e[Publication Date] 2024\u003cbr\u003e[Page Count] Office: 120 pages \/ LA Office: 32 pages\u003cbr\u003e[Size] Office: approx. 282×295mm \/ LA Office: approx. 282×182mm \/ Total 1,150g\u003cbr\u003e[Format] Hardcover \/ Softcover (set of 2 books with case)\u003cbr\u003e[Language] English\u003cbr\u003e[Title Reading] OFFICE \/ LA OFFICE\u003cbr\u003e[Author\/Editor] Lars Tunbjörk \/ author, Greger Ulf Nilson \/ design\u003cbr\u003e[Printing] -\u003cbr\u003e[ISBN] 9781912719617\u003cbr\u003e[Condition] Used【9】Excellent (generally good)\u003cbr\u003e[Accessories] Case\u003cbr\u003e[Featured In] -\u003cbr\u003e[Related Exhibitions] -\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eLars Tunbjörk (1956-2015)\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBorn in Borås, Sweden in 1956.
