BOREK SIPEK GLAS DESIGN ARCHITECTUUR
Gebonden, geillustreerde foto-kartonomslag, 170 x 245mm., 160pp., uitgebreide kleurillustratie. ISBN 9040081921. De Tsjech Borek Sipek (Praag, 1949) is een wereldberoemde architect die vooral naam heeft gemaakt als ontwerper van glasobjecten en meubels. Na een aantal jaren in Amsterdam werkzaam te zijn geweest, woont en werkt Sipek tegenwoordig weer in Praag. Het hoogtepunt van zijn carriere vormen ongetwijfeld zijn werkzaamheden aan het Kasteel in Praag. Deze pretentieuze opdracht die hem tot 'hofarchitect' maakte, kreeg hij van Vaclav Havel, president van Tsjechie tussen 1993 en 2003. Op het gebied van de vormgeving vallen vooral zijn kleurige, barokke glasobjecten in het oog die de functie van het drinkglas een andere inhoud hebben weten te geven. Dit geldt ook voor zijn meubelontwerpen die verrassen door hun onorthodoxe verschijningsvorm en het meubel een haast menselijk karakter verlenen. In deze publicatie wordt het werk van een van de meest veelzijdige architect-ontwerpers van onze tijd voor het voetlicht gebracht. Nieuw boek.

BRITISH DESIGN
Bound, bleu illustrated cardboard cover, 200 x 215mm., 144pp., very profound colour illustration. ISBN 9788874395392. As the birthplace of the Industrial Revolution, Great Britain was the epicenter of the development of modern industrial design. This book -the fourth volume in the MoMA Design Series, featuring works in the Museum's extraordinary collection- explores this legacy, tracing the growth of British design from the eighteenth century to the Millennium Dome and beyond. In its more than twohundred-year scope, British Design explores Wedgwood pottery, the Arts and Crafts Movement, the Mini car and Dyson vacuum cleaner, the 'Cool Britannia' cultural explosion in the late 1990s, and British designers' take on the digital devices that define entertainment and communication in the early twenty-first century. An introduction by Paola Antonelli, Senior Curator of Architecture and Design at The Museum of Modern Art, provides an overview of design culture in Great Britain; an essay and timeline by Hugh Aldersey-Williams, author of The Most Beautiful Molecule and New American, illuminate the masterpieces of modern British design superbly reproduced in the volume's plate section.

CASCIANI, Stefano; SANDBERG, Tom
DESIGN IN ITALIA. DIETRO LE QUINTE DELL'INDUSTRIA. THE MAKING OF AN INDUSTRY
Bound, illustrated cardboard cover, oblong : 280 x 230mm., profoundly illustrated in colour and b/w. ISBN 9788874394418. The modern and contemporary furnishing industry of Italy represents a unique paradigm, on account of its industrial design production created by the most important international architects and designers of the 20th and 21st centuries. While reams have been written about Italian architects and designers, until now no volume has ever been dedicated to those who contributed to the success of these designers. "Backstage" takes a behind-the-scenes look at the entrepreneurs who deftly invented the most important phenomenon of modern and contemporary furnishing: those who risked and invested in innovative products that have became icons of design, and those who believed in a new form of elegance. In a detailed historical analysis from the fifties to today, Stefano Casciani follows the career paths of the movers and shakers of the design world. The protagonists are also depicted in striking black-and-white portraits by the Norwegian photographer Tom Sandberg. These portraits of entrepreneurs such as Bruno Danese, Giulio Cappellini and Patrizia Moroso, tell of the individual and collective experience of constructing the image of Italian design worldwide. From the Luisa chair by Poggi to the Thinking Man's chair by Cappellini, from the Tizio lamp by Artemide to the Glo-ball by Flos, the text discusses the past and present of the various entrepreneurial histories and the development of the culture of Italian design. Finally, bio-bibliographical apparatuses complete the volume and enhance its usefulness as a reference book on design. New book.

Die zukunftsweisenden Mobelentwurfe des Multitalents Friedrich Kiesler - mit bisher unbekanntem Material aus dem Archiv der Kiesler-Privatstiftung in Wien. Als der Architekt, Buhnenbildner und Kunstler Friedrich Kiesler (1890-1965) im Jahr 1925 von Wien nach New York ubersiedelt, nimmt er schnell die Rolle des Vermittlers zwischen den verschiedenen europaischen und amerikanischen Positionen in Design und Architektur ein: Er entwirft Mobeleinrichtungen, gestaltet Ausstellungen und formuliert Thesen zu einer ganzheitlichen, kritisch-funktionalen Design- und Architekturtheorie. Dieses Buch widmet sich ganz dem Design des Multitalents und zeigt erstmals bisher unbekanntes Material zu seinen innovativen Entwurfen und Prototypen von Sitzmobeln der 1930er und 1940er Jahre. Briefe, private Tagebuchaufzeichnungen und Fotos dokumentieren seine Arbeit als Designer und geben einen Eindruck vom kulturellen New Yorker Umfeld, in dem Kiesler tatig war.

Stefan Wewerka - Architekt, Designer, Objektkunstler
30,5 x 25 cm. 160 S. mit 245 (63 farb.) Abb. Bibliografie. Broschur. Text in English and Deutsch . ISBN 9783932565069. Stefan Wewerka (born 1928) is an 'uomo universale', an uncomfortable pedagogue, a bringer of enlightenment. In addition to his practical work as an architect - his competition entries have had a lasting effect on architectural discourse - he has alienated architecture photographically or with the aid of traditional artistic techniques, has written books, has painted pictures, has made films and object art. Wewerka became known to a wider public in the 60s by the artistic allenation of chairs and other everyday objects, which he sawed up or distorted in order to undermine familiar images subversively. He also did not leave architectural 'high culture' untouched.This catalogue delivers an extensive overview of his work in the fields of architecture, graphic and design. More than 240 illustrations and seven texts in english and german show not only his work, but also Wewerka's unique life and personality.

Design Today, Forms with a Smile
Hardback, 230x230mm, 156p, English / Dutch (NL) edition , new condition. . ISBN 9789058562357. Het surrealisme mag dan vooral gekend zijn als stroming binnen de literatuur en schone kunsten, toch is de invloed van deze 20e-eeuwse kunstrichting op andere domeinen niet te onderschatten. Ook de wereld van de vormgeving en het hedendaagse design ontsnapt niet aan een gezonde portie surreele humor. Forms with a smile bundelt ontwerpen en objecten van moderne surrealisten en toont aan dat niets is wat het lijkt. Harige tapijten, lampen in de vorm van een melkfles, usb-sticks gesneden uit houten takken of zetels gemaakt uit pluchen troeteldieren. Is het puur humor? Of is het een prikkelend statement verpakt in een aanstekelijke glimlach? Net zoals het surrealisme vertelt design soms meer dan we denken. Gewapend met subtiele ironie trekken deze nieuwe surrealisten ten strijde in een wereld waar een zekere serieux regeert. ----- Today surrealism may be firstly known as a school in literature and fine arts, but the influence of this 20th-century school on other domains cannot be underestimated. The world of contemporary design doesn't escape a healthy portion of surreal humour. Forms with a smile bundles designs and objects of modern surrealists and shows that nothing is what it seems to be. Hairy carpets, lamps in the shape of a milk bottle, USB sticks cut from wood branches or chairs made from plush toys. Is it just humour? Or is it a stimulating statement wrapped in a contagious smile? Just like surrealism, design sometimes tells more than we think. Armed with subtle irony these new surrealists wage war against a world reigned by a certain serieux.

Cette premiere monographie consacree a Matali Crasset retrace les vingt dernieres annees du parcours d?une des creatrices les plus renommees du design international. De l?objet a l?architecture, le travail de Matali Crasset interroge a la maniere d?un sociologue le role du design dans la vie quotidienne et redefinit les modes d?usage, les modes de vie et les interactions humaines.

Relie, cartonnage blanche, jaquette illustree, frontispice en couleurs, 240 x 315mm., 351pp., illustration plein couleur et n/b ISBN 9782376660002. Le renouveau des arts décoratifs dans la France d'après-guerre est d'une extrême diversité, du style 40 qui perdure à travers les commandes officielles au meuble classique ou néoclassique dont le succès est sans précédent. La modernité reste un combat à mener après l'échec de l'Union des Artistes Modernes (UAM) qui n'a pas su convaincre. Ce défi est relevé par la jeune génération des décorateurs présentés dans cet ouvrage. Leur approche répond aux besoins et aux aspirations d'un pays en pleine reconstruction, avec l'extraordinaire vitalité qui caractérise l'époque. Après une introduction qui met l'accent sur l'alliance d'esthétique, de fantaisie et de rigueur, de cette création française foisonnante, ce livre s'organise en quatre parties, chacune précédée d'une introduction qui en définit le contexte historique. -les maîtres de l'entre-deux-guerres, tels qu'Adnet, Arbus ou Old. -les représentants d'un style 50 en liberté, ludiques et affranchis de tout discours en «isme», Matégot, Royère... -les grandes figures de la Reconstruction - Gascoin, Hitier ou Sognot - qui ont transmis à la génération suivante le sens d'une modernité exigeante et puriste. -leurs fils spirituels, Gautier-Delaye, Guariche, Motte, Paulin ou Philippon et Lecoq. Outre ces trente-trois monographies, Patrick Favardin analyse la mise en place de structure d'édition et de diffusion, avec des fabricants comme Airborne, Les Huchers-Minvielle ou Steiner, des galeries comme Steph Simono ou MAI ou encore les Salons.

Pierre Kjellberg
Art Deco - Les maitres du mobilier, le decor des paquebots
Relie sous jaquette, 275pp., 24.5x32.5cm., nombr. ills. en couleur, comme neuf. ISBN 9782859172558. Le style Art Deco, extraordinaire foisonnement d'idees et d'audaces, a succede aux floraisons lyriques qui, sous le nom d'Art Nouveau ou encore de Modern Style, ont marque le passage du XIXe siecle au XXe siecle. Sans presumer de l'avenir, on peut dire qu'il constitue la derniere expression vraiment originale de l'art francais avant l'eclectisme et l'internationalisation - on dirait aujourd'hui la mondialisation - de la seconde moitie du siecle. Cette nouvelle version du Mobilier Art Deco - publie pour la premiere fois en 1981 - reprend l'essentiel des textes des editions precedentes, y compris le chapitre sur les paquebots ajoute en 1990. Toutefois, nombre de notices ont ete completees. L'illustration a fait l'objet d'une reactualisation grace a l'apport de photographies en couleurs.

Fabio Novembre.
Novembre a Milano.
Hardcover, 136pp., 28.5x24cm., 115 color ills., new. ISBN 9788861161337. Fabio Novembre is a renowned architect and designer with a unique design flair. Novembre's notoriously eccentric personality is reflected in his works, which are inspired by baroque and are designed 'for pleasure and beauty.' Novembre's architectural career first took off whilst reading Film Studies in New York, a qualification he had to abandon in favour of his new vocation. The idea that he could turn his forsaken cinematic ideas into architectural concepts has influenced his vision ever since, resulting in a rejection of traditionally accepted styles and an effort to further develop his unique aesthetic with each assignment. This title showcases Novembre's oeuvre within a beautiful Italian-made book that is an object of design in itself. Fabio Novembre is an incredibly successful architect and designer, featured on a regular basis in many architecture and design magazines. He worked as Creative Director of successful mosaic tile manufacturer Bisazza, making it a world leader during his time there.

Dirk Wynants. Designer. I've Always Been Attached to the Globe.
Hardback, 260x210mm, 160p, 100 colour illustrations, English edition. ISBN 9789058564085. Dirk Wynants (?°1964) is de oprichter en eigenaar van het vernieuwende Belgische meubelmerk Extremis. Hij is tegelijk de belangrijkste ontwerper van het merk en de bedenker van het briljante branding concept "Tools for Togetherness". Het unieke succesverhaal van Extremis, dat op enkele jaren tijd een internationale reputatie verwierf als trendsetter op het gebied van buitenmeubilair, is sterk gelinkt aan de bevlogen persoonlijkheid en veelzijdige talenten van deze ontwerper-ondernemer, die het klappen van de zweep al heel jong leerde als zoon van een meubelmaker-schrijnwerker. Meer dan wie ook laat hij zich inspireren door een geengageerde visie op design. Hij heeft een duidelijke boodschap. Design is niet zomaar een kwestie van stijliconen of glamourdingen, maar veel meer van innovatieve oplossingen die van de wereld hopelijk een betere plek kunnen maken, vandaar de titel Design Works? Overtuigd maar ook altijd met de moed om vraagtekens te plaatsen. Sinds 2007 bestaat Dirk Wynants Design Works of (dw)2 autonoom en staat het naast Extremis ook open voor externe ontwerpopdrachten. Dirk Wynants sleepte sinds de start van Extremis in 1994 talloze internationale onderscheidingen in de wacht. Van de meest prestigieuze designerkenningen tot awards voor design management, algemeen management en export (waaronder Henry van de Velde Awards, Interior Innovation Award, (IMM Koln), Red Dot Award, International Excellence Design Award). As a son of a cabinet maker, Dirk Wynants (?°1964), was brought up with a nose for good design and a healthy dose of entrepreneurship. He studied interior and furniture design at Sint-Lucas School for Architecture in Ghent (Belgium) and was involved in the distribution of international design brands, until he established Extremis (1994), a label and brand for his own designs. Extremis' outdoor furniture designs quickly grew into an international standard of excellence. Not only the design collection itself has been applauded and awarded many times (with several Henry van de Velde Awards, Interior Innovation Award, (IMM Koln 2005), Red Dot Award 2005, International Excellence Design Award 2007, ao.), the expertise of Extremis in the field of design management, general management and export was praised just as well. In 2007 the creative unit of Extremis continued under the name Dirk Wynants Design Works = (dw)?, to enable the company to take on external design tasks. Dirk Wynants is still managing director and main designer of Extremis, but is also working closely together with other internationally renowned designers.

Armelle Baron, Christian Sarramon (Photographer)
Axel Vervoordt: Timeless Interiors.
Hardcover with dustjacket, 253pp., 22.5x30.5cm., lavishly illustr. in col., new! ENGLISH TEXT. ISBN 9782080305350. Axel Vervoordt began purchasing antiques in his teens and has steadily built a vast collection of exquisite objects from around the world. He is renowned for his prestigious exhibitions at major world antique fairs, including the New York Design Fair and TEFAF Maastricht. His interior designs, in both traditional and modern settings around the world, combine antiques from all continents with a Zen sensuality, and they blend the old with the new to create harmonious interiors. His unusual pairings may include Chinese porcelain with English furniture or a Roman relic alongside a 1930s Flemish painting. The extent of Vervoordt?s talent is revealed in the twenty-three homes in Europe and the United States presented here through Christian Sarramon?s photographs. The variety of styles reflects Vervoordt?s eclecticism, and his authentic and welcoming interiors are inspirational treasure troves. From the rustic charm of a Swiss chalet to the classic finesse of a Bordeaux château to the modern allure of a Miami mansion, Vervoordt?s creations are perfectly in tune with the character and history of each space.

DU MESNIL DU BUISSON, Francoise et Etienne
Serrurier-Bovy, un createur precurseur 1858-1910
Relie pleine toile sous jaquette illustree, Format 23 x 30 cm,300 pages sur papier Condat Perigord demi mat.Pres de 500 illustrations en couleurs, text french. ISBN 9782878441093. 'Believe in the future and work for it'? The oeuvre of Gustave Serrurier, more than fifty years before Le Corbusier and Charlotte Perriand, blazed the trail to contemporary design. Gustave Serrurier, known as Serrurier-Bovy, was born in Liege in 1858 and died in the same city in 1910. He was one of most original figures in the Belgian avant-garde and the international art revival which characterised the decorative arts and architecture in the late nineteenth and early twentieth century. Initially destined for architecture, he switched to the design and manufacture of furniture and decors, taking over the home decoration store run by his wife, Marie Bovy. He shook free of Art Nouveau aesthetics and the return to craftsmanship advocated by the Arts and Crafts movement to design furniture for the masses with a rational aesthetic, stripped of all superfluous ornament, which heralded the modern home. This richly illustrated book is the fruit of fifteen years of research by the owners of the Chateau of La Cheyrelle, remodelled by Gustave Serrurier. It traces the life of the architect-designer and looks at all the facets of his oeuvre from his avant-garde thinking to his main furniture and architectural designs. A detailed analysis of his production unravels its complexity and restores Gustave Serrurier to his rightful place as a visionary designer at the dawn of the twentieth century. New book.
