Jaro Gielens
SOFT ELECTRONICS Iconic Retro Design for Household Products in the 60s, 70s, and 80s
FLEXI, 260 x 210 mm, 288 p, throughout illustrated with coloured illustrations. ENG text. ISBN 9783967040401. The fascinating world of product design that emerged between the 1960s and 1980s symbolized the birth of a new age and human behavior. From coffee grinders to fondue sets to hairdryers, each home appliance was intended to help in the daily household routines-but they were also masterpieces of style. Based on Jaro Gielens's collection, one of the largest in the world, Soft Electronics explores a nostalgic and unique set of products from a very distinct time for design. Each object possesses a sense of longevity, quality, and innovation-one that has been hard to match since manufacturing was moved overseas and planned obsolescence redefined our relationship with electronic goods. Soft Electronics pays homage to an iconic era of design.

Alexander Calder - Radical Inventor
Softcover, 240 pages, 240 illustrations . 24 x 28 cm. 1,1 kg. fine!. ISBN 9788874398287. Alexander Calder (1898-1976) was a radical inventor: an artist who discarded convention and disrupted hierarchies, overturning the traditional basis of culture while revolutionizing the way people perceive and interact with art. Calder's 'new line' was not simply an evolution of forms and styles. From the start, it was quite clear to all who witnessed him at work that - in his way of drawing attention and gaining notoriety - he was doing something radically new. This catalogue shows how Calder's work emerged from expectations of change in American popular culture. Calder, who was initially attracted by the structure and functions of the circus, looked for alternative models to triumph over respectability, public decorum, and the ambitions of industry. The catalogue, with twelve essays from major contributors, will examine how Calder, among the first college-trained artists, found techniques and inspiration in many disciplines and their development: technology, engineering, architecture, physics, and astronomy, among others. All these contributed to the development of his wire sculptures, mobiles, and stabiles. More than 100 works and comparative illustrations will guide the reader through this innovative and unique path.

Timo Sarpaneva Drawings, Sketches and Paintings 1943 - 1956.
Paperback, English/ Finnish, 151 PAGES Illustrated. fine! ISBN 9789529878871. Timo Sarpaneva was originally trained as a graphic designer and the student assignments from his years at the Central School of Industrial Art (1940 ? 1949) have not been previously published or displayed. Less known works by him also include textile patterns and designs from the 1940s and 1950s. Added to these are paintings and graphic design by Timo Sarpaneva from the same period, 1943 ? 1956. Timo Sarpaneva : Piirroksia, luonnoksia ja maalauksia 1943 - 1956 Drawings, Sketches and Paintings 1943 - 1956 Paperback English, Finnish Translated by Jyri Kokkonen , Edited by Harry Kivilinna Share Timo Sarpaneva oli koulutukseltaan graafikko, ja hänen Taideteollisuus-keskuskoulun aikana (1940 - 1949) tekemiään koulutehtäviä ei ole aikaisemmin ollut esillä tai julkaistu. Vähemmän tunnettuja ovat myös hänen 1940-1950 - luvuilla suunnittelemansa tekstiilimallit. Tähän julkaisuun on lisäksi koottu hänen maalauksiaan ja grafiikkaa samalta ajanjaksolta, vuosilta 1943 - 1956. Timo Sarpaneva (1926-2006) oli monipuolinen kansainvälinen taiteilija ja suunnittelija, jonka ura ajoittuu seitsemälle vuosikymmenelle. Hän suunnitteli mm. tekstiilejä, painotuotteita, muovia, valurautaa, terästä, posliinia, lasia ja hopeaa. Hänen keksimälleen paperin- ja kankaanpainomenetelmälle myönnettiin kansainvälinen patentti. Myös Iittalan lasitehtaalla Sarpanevan keksimä Finlandia-pintalasitekniikka vaikutti suuresti seuraavien vuosien käyttö- ja taidelasin ilmeeseen. Jo Sarpanevan ensi esiintyminen taidemaalarina v. 1949 Helsingin Taidehallin nuortennäyttelyssä oli menestys. ?Sarpaneva on huomioon otettava koloristinen lahjakkuus, jonka hienostunut taidekäsitys antaa suuria lupauksia?, kirjoitti arvostettu taidekriitikko Edward Richter. Toinen sija Riihimäen lasitehtaan julistamassa kansainvälisessä lasinsuunnittelukilpailussa v. 1949, sytytti kiinnostuksen lasiin. Lasin parissa Sarpaneva työskenteli koko uransa ajan suunnitellen käyttö- ja taidelasia, sekä lasiveistoksia. Hänen teollista muotoiluaan on palkittu mm. Milanon Triennaleissa Grand Prix'lla. Sarpaneva on ottanut vastaan lukuisia huomionosoituksia mm. Pro Finlandia 1958 Maailman ensimmäinen muotoilun kunniatohtori, Royal College of Art, Lontoo 1967 Professorin arvonimi 1976 Akateemikko H.C., Academia de Diseno, University of Mexico City 1985 Kunniatohtori, Taideteollinen Korkeakoulu 1993

Charles Darwent
Josef Albers Life and Work
Hardcover with dusjacket,. ISBN 9780500519103. While Josef Albers' Bauhaus colleagues Klee and Kandinsky are household names, Albers himself has remained inscrutable. He is best known as the painter of the Homages to the Square, a series of over 2,000 seemingly tightly controlled experiments in the interaction of colour. Yet he did not begin these pictures until he was in his sixties, already several decades into his career as an artist, maker and theorist, much of it pursued in the United States following the Nazi dissolution of the Bauhaus in 1933. Misunderstanding of the Homages reflects a wider misreading of Albers' life and work. Married to the textile artist Anni Albers, his papers include letters from fellow artists John Cage, Robert Rauschenberg, Richard Serra and Eva Hesse; colleagues such as Buckminster Fuller and Philip Johnson; and fans and collectors ranging from the composer Virgil Thomson to the cartoonist Saul Steinberg. If his network of influence was surprisingly wide, so, too, were his interests. Albers started life at the Bauhaus as a glassmaker, ran their renowned wallpaper workshop, and designed furniture that is still in production eighty years later. He pioneered the study of colour at Black Mountain College, organized its famed Summer Sessions' with guest tutors from Willem de Kooning to Merce Cunningham, and went on to head the design department at Yale. Drawing on extensive unpublished writings, documents and illustrations, Darwent offers a broad view of not only the artistic and political currents, but also the friendships and rivalries that formed the backdrop to Albers' creative output.

Josef Hoffman Designs
Hardcover, 331 pages, EN, 285 x 220 mm, in good condition, with coloured illustrations, . ISBN 9783791312293. Josef Franz Maria Hoffmann (15 December 1870 ? 7 May 1956) was an Austrian architect and designer, involved in the founding of the Vienna Secession and the central figure of the Wiener Werkstätte which he founded in 1903. Among his best-known designs is the Stoclet Palace in Brussels, the pinnacle of Art Nouveau. His preference for squares and cubes (for Cubism) is characteristic, which earned him the nickname Quadratl-Hoffmann. His style gradually became more austere and abstract and his work became limited over time to functional, household attributes.

Style Art Nouveau
Hardcover, 128 pages, Texte en Francais , 290 x 225 mm, bon etat, illustrations / images de couleur et n/b. ISBN 9782092846056. Jugendstil ou Art nouveau est un mouvement artistique qui était populaire dans divers endroits en Europe entre 1890 et 1914, principalement en réaction à l'impressionnisme qui s'estompe. L'Art nouveau se manifeste principalement dans les ustensiles (art du verre, livres, poteries, bijoux, meubles, etc.), l'architecture et la peinture. Le mouvement connut une apogée courte mais intense, qui s'étendit principalement à la Belle Époque. En Europe de l'Ouest le style appartenait déjà au passé bien avant 1910, à l'Est il a pu perdurer un peu plus longtemps.

Jugendstil or Art Nouveau is an art movement that was popular in various places in Europe between 1890 and 1914, mainly as a reaction to the form-fading impressionism. Art Nouveau manifested itself mainly in utensils (glass art, books, pottery, jewellery, furniture, etc.), architecture and painting. The movement had a short but intense heyday, which expanded mainly during the belle époque. In Western Europe the style was already a thing of the past well before 1910, in the East it was able to continue for a little longer.

The term Art Nouveau is mainly used in Belgium and France, while in Austria and Germany Jugendstil is used. In Spain, on the other hand, the term modernism is used to make it easy for the style that broke through with us a few decades later. Common is the asymmetrical, the second style in all of art history to use this (the first is the rococo), and the use of animal and floral motifs. Art Nouveau was used everywhere, from architecture to furniture, from coffee services to jewellery.

SERRURIER-BOVY. A VISIONARY DESIGNER 1858 - 1910
Bound, red cloth, illustrated dustjacket, 230 x 305mm., pres de 500 illustrations en couleurs. ISBN 9782878441109. '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.

Relié pleine toile et coffret illustrés 204 pages plus illustrations. ISBN 9782847422245. Passion Art déco ouvre pour nous la maison très secrète du collectionneur Félix Marcilhac. Spécialiste des arts décoratifs de la première moitié du xxe siècle, cet antiquaire et historien d'art est un des premiers à avoir remis à l'honneur l'Art nouveau et l'Art déco en France au milieu des années soixante. À Saint-Germain-des-Prés où il ouvre sa galerie en 1970, il présente les meubles Majorelle, Groult, Iribe, Rateau, Ruhlmann, Chareau et Jean-Michel Frank, les verres de Lalique, les laques de Dunand. Sans oublier les sculptures cubistes de Joseph Csaky ou les peintures orientalistes d'André Maire et Jacques Majorelle. Parmi ses clients, Catherine Deneuve, Alain Delon, Hélène Rochas, Karl Lagerfeld, Yves Saint Laurent et Pierre Bergé, Andy Warhol mais aussi de nombreux musées et institutions internationales. Choisi pour son caractère Art déco, l'hôtel particulier situé dans le quartier des années trente de Boulogne était pour Félix Marcilhac le cadre idéal pour réunir les chefs-d'ouvre qu'il voulait garder auprès de lui. Aux antipodes du musée et dans une ambiance qui évoque les intérieurs mythiques tels celui du couturier Jacques Doucet, les différentes pièces de cette maison familiale laissent dialoguer les formes et les couleurs et redonnent une nouvelle vie aux ouvres d'art. Félix Marcilhac a confié à Jean-Louis Gaillemin, historien de l'art et journaliste, les secrets de ces objets qui ont su nourrir sa passion de collectionneur. Les photographies de Jean Grisoni renouent avec l'atmosphère des films de Marcel L'Herbier ou des reportages mythiques de L'Illustration. Ouvrage publié en partenariat avec Sotheby's.

Jacques Grange : Oeuvres récentes
Hardcover, 376 pages, FR, 320 x 250 mm, NOUVEAU, jacquette, illustrations en couleur. ISBN 9782080280862. En cinquante ans de carrière, Jacques Grange s?est imposé comme le décorateur des maisons de grands collectionneurs, artistes, designers et créateurs de tendances. De sa formation classique à l?École Boulle et à l?École Camondo et de sa passion pour l?art contemporain sont nées une vision unique et une approche inimitable du design à la française, à l?origine de son style intemporel. À travers une trentaine de projets récents en Europe et en Amérique, c?est toute l?étendue des inspirations et le goût raffiné du designer qui se manifestent dans des lieux auxquels il a su apporter sa touche singulière. Ce livre navigue entre un luxueux hôtel particulier à Paris, des demeures à Londres et New York, une cabane chic en bord de mer à Comporta au Portugal, jusqu?à une mythique maison des années 1950 à Los Angeles. Le texte de Pierre Passebon propose une analyse des fondements du travail de Jacques Grange, de sa conception éclectique et raffinée en évolution permanente. Les photographies inédites de François Halard capturent ces projets singuliers avec une profonde sensibilité.
