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. New book.

2008Bound, 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. Die Neuauflage einiger seiner Entwurfe durch die Firma Wittmann Mobelwerkstatten zeigt die Aktualitat seines zukunftsweisenden Designs.
199930,5 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.

2008Hardback, 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.

Un retour a la citation, a l'ornement, au ?« metier ?» qui s'est effectue sans etat d'ame : pour lui c'est l'invention qui compte avant tout. L'histoire des styles ne l'a jamais rattrape, car il ignore vers quoi, demain, son metier le menera, un metier qui a fait surgir au hasard des experimentations pres de 400 meubles-objets enigmatiques de 1985 a aujourd'hui, chaises, commodes, miroirs, cabinets, pendules, lanternes..., dans lesquels le reve, l'invention et le mystere l'emportent sur la fonction.

2007Broschiert, 145 x 170mm., 206 S. mit uber 400 Abbildungen, koloriert. Einen Namen machte sich Peter Maly bei der Zeitschrift Schoner Wohnen. Dort brachte der Wahl-Hamburger als Einrichtungsberater und als einer der fruhen Artdirektoren den Bundesdeutschen monatlich die Moderne ins Haus.

Die steile Karriere des geburtigen Bohmen zeigt konkret, was bei einem Designprofi dazugehort, und ist zudem ein Intensivkurs in Stilfragen. Die Reihe ???Werkbiografie Design??? wird fortgesetzt.

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.
