Ce deuxieme volume de l'oeuvre complete de Charlotte Perriand retrace des periodes particulierement importantes de son oeuvre: ses deux sejours au Japon en 1940-1941 et 1953-1955, et ses realisations pour la Reconstruction, marquees par sa collaboration avec les Ateliers Jean Prouve et de grands architectes de l'epoque : Le Corbusier, Pierre Jeanneret, Paul Nelson, Jean de Mally, Kenzo Tange etc. Bien au-dela de son role de conseiller pour le gouvernement japonais, Charlotte Perriand recolte en 1941 une riche documentation photographique sur tous les aspects du Japon traditionnel pour les publier dans des journaux apres la guerre.

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.

Ludwig Mies van der Rohe (March 27, 1886 - August 17, 1969) was a German-American architect and furniture designer. His architecture has clear, measured forms and is distinguished by the thoughtful and precise use of glass, steel and natural stone. His is the statement: "Less is more" (originally a quote from Robert Browning in the poem (1855) Andrea del Sarto, called 'The Faultless Painter').

The French designer turned his playful creations into a serious business, winning admirers who have ranged from Middle Eastern royalty to Kanye West and Jennifer Aniston. Illustrated with works offered at Christie's In 1947, Jean Royère (1902-1981) designed a sofa that embodied both his own emerging style and the joie de vivre of the post-war period ? an elegantly rounded beast in soft white velvet that came to be known as the Ours polaire (Polar Bear). The sofa and the archairs that went with it have since become collector's items: in 2017, a cream sofa sold at Christie's for 439,500; a pair of pale-gold armchairs (below) for almost double that.

Élève, enseignant, puis directeur de l'école Boulle, Jacques Hitier (1917-1999) se singularise parmi les créateurs modernes en apportant au meuble industriel son expérience d'artiste décorateur. Après des recherches menées dans l'équipement scolaire pour des marques aussi célèbres que Mobilor ou Mullca, il élargit son travail de création à l'habitation dès la fin des années 1940. Alors que le meuble industriel semblait condamné à équiper ateliers et collectivités depuis près d'un siècle, Jacques Hitier réussit à répondre aux désirs des particuliers. Associé à la firme Tubauto, il invente un style où le tube de métal s'intégre à l'intimité du logement, par la souplesse des lignes, la douceur des matières et la gaieté des couleurs. Cette monographie, réalisée à partir des archives conservées par sa famille, retrace le parcours de Jacques Hitier, avec des pages thématiques mettant en avant les temps forts de sa carrière, et des notices descriptives présentant ses oeuvres emblématiques.

ISBN 9781851490370. The Dictionary of English Furniture by Ralph Edwards (1954 Revised Edition) is the most authoritative general work on English antique furniture ever published. The first edition of this work was published 1924-27. It was instantly recognised as the primary reference on the evolution of English furniture from the Middle Ages to the Late Georgian period. It was consistently in demand and soon went out of print. The Second Edition, published in 1954, was entirely revised and enlargedby one of the two original collaborators, Ralph Edwards, who at that time was Keeper of the Department of Woodwork at the Victoria and Albert Museum. He was an outstanding authority, well placed to produce such a mammoth revision. The Dictionary is, within its chronological limits, a comprehensive survey of the whole wide field of English domestic furniture. Later research has added details but the basic body of knowledge remains unchallenged. It remains the standard book referred to in all sale catalogues

In southeast Sicily, near the town of Noto, Villa Elena?a former monastery restored by Jacques Garcia?is a tranquil oasis among fragrant orchards. Reflecting the interior designer?s passion for ancient civilizations, the domain blends classical, Arabian, and Norman influences with elements borrowed from the Renaissance and the baroque, mirroring Sicilian history. With views stretching to the sea and to Syracuse, the villa is surrounded by shady terraces and lush gardens. This home ? evocative of Lampedusa?s The Leopard ? has been restored to its former glory through magnificent salons decked with marble, stucco work, majolica tiles, silk, and velvet, revealed here for the first time. Bruno Ehrs?s photographs, taken throughout each season of the year, masterfully capture the decadent splendor and aristocratic lifestyle of this particularly sumptuous locale in Sicily.

The story of the illustrated book from the earliest printed books to the present day, told through the collections of the V&A's National Art Library. Throughout history, images have been used to reflect the meaning of words and to enhance our understanding of texts. With the invention of mechanized printing in Germany in the 15th century, illustrated books were no longer the preserve of the elite and became a source of knowledge, instruction and pleasure for a wider audience. Traditional accounts of the illustrated book survey its history in terms of technological advances, from illumination to hand-drawn illustrations and photography. This study offers a new approach, grouping books by subject - from natural history and travel to art, architecture and fashion. Gathered here are some of the most influential and compelling examples of the illustrated book, all chosen from the collections of the National Art Library at the Victoria and Albert Museum, London. Each chapter starts with a general introduction to the subject, followed by key examples accompanied by narrative captions. The commentaries range beyond the illustrations to consider the whole book, the design, typeface, binding, inks and papers. Many of the books are not on display to the public and have been specially photographed for this volume. Most examples have been chosen for their significance, being innovative and beautiful. But humble books, often overlooked in histories, have also been selected, when particularly effective in their field, or simply memorable. From beautiful printed Psalters and Books of Hours, to striking natural history books such as Audubon's Birds of America, La Fontaine's Fables illustrated by Marc Chagall, Serlio's treatise on architecture and Owen Jones's Grammar of Ornament, this book gives a fascinating overview of some of the finest illustrated books ever created. In the face of recent pronouncements about the death of the printed book, this volume demonstrates the enduring appeal of the illustrated book.

Dixonary is the first comprehensive book on one of Britain's best known and most highly regarded product designers, in his own words and with a wealth of illustrations showing the inspiration behind each work he has produced in almost 30 years of design. Self-taught and a child of the punk era, Dixon (born 1959) founded his own studio in 1991 and became Head of Design at Habitat in 1998 before reestablishing his own brand, Tom Dixon - a lighting and furniture design and manufacturing company - in 2002. He has also been Creative Director at Artek, the Finnish furniture company founded by Alvar and Aino Aalto. Dixon's artistic career began when he discovered the pleasures of welding while repairing damaged motorcycle frames; he went on to specialize in welded salvage furniture and became known as a designer when his S-Chair was manufactured by Guido Cappellini in 1991. Dixon's previous books include Rethink (2002), an analysis of each room in the modern home, and The Interior World of Tom Dixon (2008), a book of ideas and observations on design, materials and style. Dixonary is the first complete monograph of this British innovator.

BESESSEN Die geheime Kunst des Polsterns Upholstered seating is familiar to all of us as a more or less constant companion in everyday life. Upholstery conveys a sense of security and promises comfort, suggests or creates status, and tells a (hi)story. We barely give a thought to its interior. Yet a glimpse inside the chairs and armchairs is a journey into secrets, of lashed and sprung constructions, which prove to be unknown masterpieces of craftsmanship. DEEP-SEATED: The Secret Art of Upholstery traces pieces of furniture and their inner details and illustrates why upholstery is a constant constituent of cultural and social history. From the Renaissance, Baroque, Rococo, Classicism, Historicism, and Art Nouveau to designs by Arne Jacobsen and Alvar Aalto, the history of upholstered furniture is traced up to the present day. It also includes a closer examination of the corresponding tools, textiles, braiding, tassels, and cushions. All this accumulated knowledge is summarized at the end in an extensive glossary for reference.

Dies ist die erste umfassende Publikation über das Werk des dänischen Möbeldesigners Jakob Berg (1958?2008). Dem herausragenden Entwerfer und Gestalter gelang es, die Erfolgsgeschichte des dänischen Designs bis in die Gegenwart fortzuschreiben.

Die Leser*innen sind zu einer reizvollen Tour durch Jakob Bergs Designuniversum eingeladen: von den frühen Unikaten der 1980er-Jahre bis zu den Multifunktionsmöbeln, die Wohnräume auf der ganzen Welt bereichert haben. Die Texte wurden von führenden dänischen Designexperten verfasst und der Band ist mit mehr als 200 Fotos, Zeichnungen sowie digitalen Skizzen reich illustriert. So porträtiert die Publikation nicht nur Jakob Bergs inspirierendes Werk, sondern ist selbst ein Beispiel für hervorragendes dänisches Design.

Opendeur in de mooiste huizen van Brussel: van huizen van kunstenaars, collectioneurs, burgers en edellieden tot ateliers van decorateurs en de mooiste eethuizen van de stad Op het kruispunt van Noord- en Zuid-Europa is Brussel een Mekka voor liefhebbers van oude en moderne architectuur. Geen andere Europese stad toont zoveel bouwstijlen in haar straten. Eén stadswijk volstaat om de vormentaal van Mackintosh, De Stijl, het Bauhaus en Le Corbusier te herontdekken. Vooral de art nouveau ontpopte zich op het einde van de 19de eeuw tot een internationaal gewaardeerde stijl. In Brussel wordt er goed geleefd. Het hart van Europa staat vol riante woningen met een onwaarschijnlijke rijkdom aan interieurs. Moeiteloos stappen we van de voluptueuze barok in oude herenhuizen naar de uitgepuurde functionaliteit van enkele kunstgaleries. We bezoeken huizen van kunstenaars, collectioneurs, burgers en edellieden. Ateliers van decorateurs en de mooiste eethuizen van de stad worden eveneens bezocht. We worden gastvrij onthaald in de eerder artistieke wijken en in de meer traditionele, deftige buurten. Voor het eerst stelt dit boek deze gebouwen open voor een groot publiek.

Ponti's style was dominated by an exultant sense of the aesthetic both in his objects and his numerous buildings. Published in the same style of the successful Minimum Architects series, the Minimum Designers series includes books about the major figures in the field of design, creators of objects that have become a part of our daily lives. The lamp on our desk, the chair we are sitting on, or the glasses we are wearing--all have a genius behind to be discovered. These volumes will introduce in a practical manner the personalities and the works of the world's major designers by way of a historical-critical introduction to the work and life of each individual designer. An accurate selection of the designer's most famous objects arranged in chronological order and a critique of his or her work summarizing the most significant reviews published in magazines and newspapers will complete the subject.
