Hardcover , 175 pages with illustrations b/n, 22x29 cm. . ISBN 9789529437627. Chasing Light: The Archival Photographs and Drawings of Paavo Tynell is the first-ever book published in English about the prolific Finnish lighting designer Paavo Tynell. Focusing on the period 1946?1957, the book is based on previously unpublished photographs and work drawings that have been collected from archives. Over 100 archive photos and original drawings also present more unusual and rare variations of Tynell?s lighting design, as well as an in-depth look at the stunning Snowflake chandelier. Tynell?s light fixtures were manufactured by a group of highly-trained metalwork professionals, whose artistry is practically impossible to replicate. The key goal of the book is to feature photographs and drawings that are rich in content for the reader to get an idea of the high level of craftsmanship involved in making these lamps. The book has been written by Finnish antique dealer Ville Linna, and it has been printed in Finland.?
Hardcover with dusjacket, 393 pages, Illustrated. German Edition.. ISBN 9783205796473. Eine Publikationsreihe M Md Der Museen Des Mobiliendepots. Der osterreichische Architekt Josef Frank war in der Zwischenkriegszeit als Mitglied des Werkbundes und als teilnehmender Architekt der Stuttgarter Weissenhofsiedlung aktiv in das internationale Architekturgeschehen eingebunden. Aufbauend auf seine fruhen Entwurfe der 1910er Jahre bildet seine Tatigkeit fur die Einrichtungsfirma Haus & Garten den Schwerpunkt des Buches. Das Unternehmen fungierte mit seinen flexiblen Einzelmobeln, seinen farbenfrohen Textilien sowie seiner antidoktrinaren Wohnauffassung als Gegenpol zur Wiener Werkstatte. Aufgrund seiner judischen Herkunft emigrierte Josef Frank in den 1930er Jahren nach Stockholm. Als Designer der Firma Svenskt Tenn knupfte er nahtlos an sein Wiener Schaffen an. Josef Frank gilt heute gemeinhin als Begrunder des modernen schwedischen Einrichtungsstils
hardcover .447 pages illustrated 255 x 170 x 35 mm ISBN 9789113050942. Svenska stolar är en modern översikt över 1900- och 2000-talens svenska stolar och dess formgivare. I boken beskrivs mer än 400 kända och mindre kända stolar, fåtöljer och pallar i både ord och bild. Boken blev snabbt ett erkänt referensverk då den gavs ut första gången 2002, och är idag en klassiker i designsammanhang som säljs dyrt på antikvariat då den varit slut i handeln under flera år. Nu har författaren Dan Gordan uppdaterat och kompletterat sitt praktverk med mer än 100 nya stolar så att den sträcker sig fram till nutid. Med exakta uppgifter om stolarnas tillkomst och om formgivarna är boken en guldgruva för alla som vill veta mer om de stolar vi sitter på. Intresset för svensk design blir bara större med åren, och just stolar och sittmöbler tycks vara det som fascinerar oss allra mest. Att någon gång få rita en stol är den stora utmaningen för nästan varje formgivare och arkitekt. Ingenting är så svårt som att göra en lyckad stol. Den är möbelkonstnärens mästarprov liksom såsen är kockens, brukar det heta. I Svenska stolar och deras formgivare 1899-2013 presenteras allt från Carl Larssons klassiska matsalsstolar, 1930-talets funktionalism, futuristisk 1960-talsdesign till dagens kända formgivare som Mats Theselius, Björn Dahlström, Anna Kraitz, Färg & Blanche och många fler.

Hardcover, 192 pagina's, English, 320 x 240 mm, perfect copy, . ISBN 9789058565365. Xavier Lust is certainly one of the most relevant characters on the contemporary design scene. His distinct and essential approach to design, his ingenious and refined touch, and his ability to synthesise clearly imply a special talent. The great John Keats wrote: A thing of beauty is a joy forever; its loveliness increases; it will never pass into nothingness . For Xavier Lust, dedication to beauty is the answer to eternity and this forever is actually built everyday through constant work, research and curiosity. Always focused on innovation and research, specifically tension and induced motion, he likes to experiment, explore and discover the natural transformations of materials. On the strength of his experience with metal, he challenges all kind of materials, challenging himself too in the process. Xavier Lust pushes the boundaries of technical possibilities while making a statement with each of his pieces and overriding preconceived ideas. Design Stories aims to give a wide sense of Lust's work in the different fields of design from creation to production to final destination.

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.
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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 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.
