Barbara & René Stoeltie
LA MAGIE DE LONDRES
Hardcover, 208 pages, Texte en Francais, 335 x 250 mm, avec 180 pages d'illustrations couleur, un bon exemplaire, . ISBN 9789462300163. « Quand un homme se lasse de Londres il se lasse aussi de la vie, car Londres possède tout ce qu'on peut attendre d'une ville » écrivait le célèbre poète, écrivain, essayiste et critique d'art Samuel Johnson. Tracer le portrait de Londres est impossible sans évoquer ses monuments célèbres, ses vieilles traditions et ses clichés éculés : la relève de la garde, les grands magasins débordant de luxe et de faux-luxe, le « afternoon tea » et les innombrables pubs Victoriens, pleins à craquer. Barbara et René Stoeltie ont vécu à Londres, dans une maison 18e au coeur d'Islington et pendant leur périple ils eurent la chance inouïe de découvrir les richesses cachées derrière les façades de la ville. Depuis ce temps-là, les maisons et les intérieurs de Londres n'ont plus de secret pour eux et ils les ont collectionnés comme on collectionne des objets précieux. Aujourd'hui, les images de ces demeures d'exception, ont pris la forme d'un livre où on découvre, entre autres, le loft du galeriste David Gill, la péniche de la styliste Emma Freemantle, la garçonnière de l'écrivain Simon Blow, le « bedsitter » du peintre Duggie Fields, l'appartement de la créatrice de tissus Carolyn Quartermaine et une maison spectaculaire décorée par Francis Sultana.

Salvatore Licitra / Lisa Licitra Ponti / Stefano Casciani / Brian Kish / Fabio Marino
Gio Ponti XL
Hardcover, XL 36 x 36 cm, 5.67 kg, 572 pages, Language; English, Fine condition! Famous First Edition: First printing of 5,000 numbered copies. ISBN 9783836501347. To study Gio Ponti?s prolific body of work is to appreciate the clear, unifying vision behind a complex creative universe. A synthesis of the arts, his creations expand intuitively with the Italian grandeur and studied lightness that defined his iconic style. Ponti?s rare capacity to move seamlessly between scales allowed him to approach the design of a teaspoon with the same conviction as he did an entire city. He was as much an architect and designer as he was a publisher, poet, and man. A treasure in its own regard, his contribution is also a distinctive landmark of Italy?s mid-century Renaissance and the modernist values it sought to realize. This new book is the most comprehensive account of Ponti?s work to date, unprecedented in scale and scope. It tracks the development of his oeuvre over 6 decades, with 136 projects indexed and reproduced in high resolution, each object framed by the context in which Ponti had created it. Like windows onto his elusive life, unpublished materials and candid imagery create new dialogues between his famous masterpieces and his lesser-known feats. A rich layer of texts, featuring an extensive biographical essay by Stefano Casciani, was produced in close collaboration with the Gio Ponti Archives offering an intimate insight on his life?s work. Materializing Ponti?s core philosophy of modernity, this book presents architecture as a performing object, a "self-illuminating" stage for his humanistic art de vivre and boundless creativity. Experience the boundless vision of one of the greatest architects, designers, and art directors of the 20th century. Shaped in close collaboration with the Gio Ponti Archives and its founder Salvatore Licitra, Gio Ponti is an immersive book scaled to his kaleidoscopic universe, featuring texts by Lisa Licitra Ponti and an extensive biographical essay by Stefano Casciani. An unprecedented tribute to Ponti?s achievements as ingenious publisher as well as timeless creator, the images and texts of this compelling XL rendition draw its reader closer to his work than ever before. // Ce nouvel ouvrage est sa monographie la plus complète publiée à ce jour, inégalée par son envergure et son format. Elle retrace l?évolution du travail de Ponti sur six décennies, à travers 136 projets indexés et reproduits en haute résolution en format 36 x 36 cm, qui immergent le lecteur dans l?atmosphère des espaces investis, où chaque objet est éclairé par le contexte dans lequel Ponti l?a créé.

Karlsen, Arne
Danish Furniture Design in the XXth Century - 2 volumes.
Hardcover with dusjacket 2 volumes / slipcase; complet.223+ 327 pages, Illustrated. fine condition. ISBN 9787872412511. Widely considered as the best assessment of modern Danish furniture available in English and are beautifully illustrated with historic photographs and new photographs of surviving pieces. Many of the photographs of some of the best pieces in museums and public buildings in Copenhagen appear to have been taken specifically for the book. Full-page photographs are set out facing reproductions of original presentation or technical drawings. Karlsen was an architect who worked with Mogens Koch, to whom the volumes are dedicated, and he approaches the subject through his hands-on experience as a furniture designer. The volumes provide a very readable and a very good broad chronological overview but what makes them invaluable is the addition of detailed and critical assessments of the most important and influential examples of chairs, tables and storage furniture produced through the century.

Design derby : Nederland - België (1815-2015)
Hardcover, 240 pagina's, Nederlands, 250 x 190 mm, boek in nieuwstaat, met veel illustraties en foto's in kleur en z/w, . ISBN 9789069182858. Wat moeten we ons voorstellen bij een 'Design Derby' tussen Nederland en België van 1815 tot 2015? Is er eigenlijk sprake van een karakteristieke Nederlandse of Belgische identiteit in het design? En hoeveel weten we over elkaars geschiedenis? Precies twee eeuwen geleden, in 1815, werd het Verenigd Koninkrijk der Nederlanden opgericht. Gedurende vijftien jaar werden Nederland en België door de grote Europese staten tot een eenheid gedwongen onder de bezielende leiding van koning Willem I. Deze rijk geïllustreerde publicatie laat aan de hand van talloze bijzondere objecten zien waartoe de twee landen op het gebied van vormgeving in de loop van tweehonderd jaar in staat zijn geweest. Variërend van meubelen, keramiek, glas, textiel, grafisch ontwerp, mode tot huishoudelijke apparaten, wordt geïllustreerd hoe wooncultuur, economie en politiek het karakter van de vormgeving voortdurend laten evolueren.

Charles Percier
Charles Percier : Architecture and Design in an Age of Revolutions
Hardcover, 304 pages, English, 295 x 255 mm, new book with dustjacket, . ISBN 9780300221589. Handsomely designed and richly illustrated, this publication surveys the magnificent spectrum of projects undertaken by French architect and interior designer Charles Percier (1764-1838). After gaining an illustrious reputation for supervising the scenery at the Paris Opera during the French Revolution, Percier was later appointed by Napoleon Bonaparte. With the Emperor's support, he developed the opulent versions of neoclassicism closely associated with the Napoleonic era, and now known as Directoire style and Empire style. Percier worked on the renovation or redecoration of many of France's royal palaces, including the Louvre, the Tuileries, and the chateaux of Malmaison, Saint-Cloud, and Fontainebleau. The full scope and variety of Percier's design projects are revealed in this book, which also includes archival material detailing Percier's relationships with patrons and peers.

Richard Striner ; Melissa Blair
Washington and Baltimore Art Deco : A Design History of Neighboring Cities
Hardcover, 256 pages, English, book in perfect condition, with pictures in b/w, . ISBN 9781421411620. The bold lines and decorative details of Art Deco have stood the test of time since one of its first appearances in the International Exhibition of Modern Decorative and Industrial Arts in Paris in 1925. Reflecting the confidence of modern mentality-streamlined, chrome, and glossy black-along with simple elegance, sharp lines, and cosmopolitan aspirations, Art Deco carried surprises, juxtaposing designs growing out of speed (racecars and airplanes) with ancient Egyptian and Mexican details, visual references to Russian ballet, and allusions to Asian art. While most often associated with such masterworks as New York's Chrysler Building, Art Deco is evident in the architecture of many U.S. cities, including Washington and Baltimore. By updating the findings of two regional studies from the 1980s with new research, Richard Striner and Melissa Blair explore the most significant Art Deco buildings still standing and mourn those that have been lost. This comparative study illuminates contrasts between the white-collar New Deal capital and the blue-collar industrial port city, while noting such striking commonalities as the regional patterns of Baltimore's John Jacob Zinc, who designed Art Deco cinemas in both cities. Uneven preservation efforts have allowed significant losses, but surviving examples of Art Deco architecture include the Bank of America building in Baltimore (now better known as 10 Light Street) and the Uptown Theater on Connecticut Avenue NW in Washington. Although possibly less glamorous or flamboyant than exemplars in New York or Miami, the authors find these structures-along with apartment houses and government buildings-typical of the Deco architecture found throughout the United States and well worth preserving. Demonstrating how an international design movement found its way into ordinary places, this study will appeal to architectural historians, as well as regional residents interested in developing a greater appreciation of Art Deco architecture in the mid-Atlantic region.

Eames Demetrios
Eames Primer : Revised Edition
Softcover, 288 pages, English, 210 x 165 mm, fine copy, illustrated in colour and b/w, . ISBN 9780847839445. Those who know one or two aspects of the Eameses' work are often surprised to learn just how far and vast their range extended. Yet, throughout their myriad works, from architecture and furniture to exhibition design and filmmaking, their core philosophy prevails. An Eames Primer is the first book to illuminate this seamless connection. Author Eames Demetrios explores the rich energy of the Eameses' world from a unique perspective, informed by his close relationship with Charles and Ray. He shares personal anecdotes, previously unpublished photos, and his extensive interviews with former friends and colleagues of the Eameses to make connections between the Eameses' influential philosophy and their widely admired work. For those unacquainted with the designers, the stories behind the design process will inform, entertain, and inspire, while readers with an extensive knowledge of the Eameses' work gain a deeper level of understanding their process.

Ekstrom Extreme : Norwegian Furniture and Industrial Design
Hardcover, 128 pages, Norsk/English, 275 x 215 mm , New. ISBN 9783897904606. Terje Ekstrom was the first postmodern designer in Norway and his futuristic chairs even made it into the Star Trek TV-Series; this is the first monograph on the designer Informative description of the Norwegian design scene in the 1980s Accompanies the exhibition of Frank Nievergelt's donation at The National Museum of Art, Architecture and Design, Oslo (NO)The work of the pioneering designer Terje Ekstrom (1944-2013) contributed a new vitality and independence to the Norwegian design scene of the 1970s and '80s, at a time of cultural and social change. Ekstrom represented a new generation of designers who challenged the ideals of the golden age of Scandinavian design. As this richly illustrated book shows, Ekstrom was both a product of his own time and far ahead of it. Seen as one of Norway's first postmodern designers, his internationally successful Ekstrem chair achieved iconic status due to its unique and visionary qualities, as did his audio equipment design for the renowned Tandberg Radiofabrikk. Including specially commissioned photographs of his workplace and home, this book for the first time tells the story of Ekstrom's design practice, characterized by an eclectic search for originality.Contents: A Tribute to Terje Ekstrom (Widar Halen); Acknowledgements; In Search of Originality (Denise Hagstromer); The Art of Sitting Naturally (Espen Johnsen); The Reluctant Postmodernist - Terje Ekstrom and His Ekstrem Seating Concept (Trygve Ask); High Fidelity: Visioning Sound at Tandbergs Radiofabrikk (Kjetil Fallan); Capturing the Momentum: The 1984 Interior Now: Norwegian experimental design exhibition (Denise Hagstromer); Terje Ekstrom - Janne B.

Abraham and Rol
Hardcover, 176 pages, English, 305 x 235 mm, new book, with dustjacket, . ISBN 9782915542905. It is a rare species, but it exists, as '60s art critic Pascal Renous pointed out on the subject of artistic couples. This designer-decorator duo of Janine Abraham and Dirk-Jan Rol met at Jacques Dumond's studio in 1955. The couple shares the same love of precision, line and plain colours. Their earliest joint creations were first exhibited at the Salon des artistes decorateurs, in Paris. Their furniture, made of wicker, wood and aluminium, twice won prizes at the Salon des artistes decorateurs (a sideboard in 1956 and an armchair in 1958), garnering notice from the public and professionals alike. Jean Royere did not hesitate to use their emblematic Soleil armchair (gold medal at the 1958 Brussels World's Fair) in the decoration of the palace of the Shah of Iran, in Teheran. Their light and functional designs are available today, re-edited by Yota Design. Abraham & Rol were also interior designers and intervened in this capacity for both individual clients and large corporate clients, such as Yves Rocher and Saint-Gobain, with the same precision and sense of composition that define their furniture pieces. Finally, the couple also expressed their creativity through architecture, their mastery of this discipline enabling them to design some twenty houses from the 1960s through the 2000s in the Ile-de-France region. Their homes are genuine inhabited sculptures, of which certain have become truly emblematic.

NORDIC DESIGN Die Antwort aufs Bauhaus
Hardcover 304 Seiten, 22 x 26 cm, 219 Abb., Deutsch / Englisch. ISBN 9783897905825. Nordic Design beschäftigt sich mit der Reaktion der nordischen Länder auf das Bauhaus und die deutsche Moderne. ? Ende der 1920er-Jahre feiert eine neue Gestaltung in allen nordischen Ländern erste Erfolge. Die singulären finnischen Lebensbedingungen nehmen ebenso Einfluss auf die neue Formensprache, wie das in Schweden formulierte Postulat: ?Schönheit für alle? oder die dänische Bevorzugung des Handwerks. Durch die jeweiligen Charakteristika der nordischen Länder entsteht eine sehr eigenständige Interpretation des Funktionalismus. Nicht die avantgardistische Form, wie vielfach in Deutschland, steht im Vordergrund, sondern die maßgeschneiderte Lösung für eine Aufgabe. Dadurch gelingt es dem skandinavischen Funktionalismus zur identitätsstiftenden Konstante der nordischen Nationen zu werden. Künstler (Auswahl): Aino & Alvar Aalto, Eero Aarnio, Claire Aho, Gunnar Asplund, Kay Bojesen, Nanna Ditzel, Kaj Franck, Josef Frank, Poul Henningsen, Peter Hiort-Lorenzen, Axel Einar Hjorth, Saara Hopea, Arne Jacobsen, Finn Juhl, Poul Kjærholm, Kaare Klint, Greta Magnusson Grossman, Sven Markelius, Bruno Mathsson, Børge Mogensen, Peter Opsvik, Verner Panton, Timo Sarpaneva, Nanny Still, Ilmari Tapiovaara, Paavo Tynell, Björn Weckström, Hans J.

British Antique Furniture : Price Guide & Reasons for Values
Hardcover, 392 pages, English, 280 x 225 mm, cover not in good condition, however the book itself is, illustrations in colour and b/w, . ISBN 9781851490905. For the past thirty years this book has, in its various editions, outsold all others on British antique furniture simply because it is unique in explaining what to look for when assessing the value of individual pieces. In this, the fourth edition, additional colour plates have been added to illustrate the huge financial importance of patination and colour -- something which has never before been explained and illustrated but which has become increasingly important in recent years.This classic guide consists of some 1,200 photographs of furniture found in shops and auction rooms throughout the country with the author's down-to-earth comments on important features which affect individual prices. The reader will come to understand the rules and prejudices which apply while the eye will become aware of gradations of quality. He will come instinctively to assess the workmanship and how all this affects the final price tag. This is, above all, a reference book for the practising collector and dealer, a work from which the memory may be refreshed and points checked.Each item is clearly referenced. This enables the annual price revision list to be compiled with a ready cross-reference. The list is available in January/February each year on a private subscription basis and details are contained within the book. This new edition contains both Sterling and US Dollar prices.

De auteurs bouwden het verhaal op aan de hand van getuigenissen en niet eerder gepubliceerde documenten uit het archief van V-Form. Ze tonen aan dat je uit designarchieven vaak interessante en verrassende informatie kan putten en willen op die manier het bewaren van archieven die verband houden met design aanmoedigen.

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.

Ceramic art, metalwork, furniture, jewellery, fashion, various forms of the textile arts and glassware are major groupings. Applied arts largely overlaps with decorative arts, and the modern making of applied art is usually called design. The decorative arts are often categorized in distinction to the "fine arts", namely painting, drawing, photography, and large-scale sculpture, which generally produce objects solely for their aesthetic quality and capacity to stimulate the intellect.

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.
