In southeast Sicily, near the town of Noto, Villa Elena?a former monastery restored by Jacques Garcia?is a tranquil oasis among fragrant orchards.

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.

'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.

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

DJ protected in archival mylar sleeve. || Chronicles the evolution of baths and bathing with abundant illustrations: For over 2000 years, in the Far East as in the West, bathing and showering have been more than practical necessities. Bathing has become a rite and a refuge, and this is the first book to lavish due attention on the history of the bath across the centuries and around the world. Although the room for bathing as we know it has existed for only a century, public baths wee institution in ancient cultures; and, of course, beginning n the Renaissance, bathing was not just hygienic, but a sensual and sybaritic event. In The Book of the Bath, abundant illustrations- from Byzantine frescoes and Orientalist paintings of harems to photographs by Robert Doisneau and engravings from old fixtures catalogs-chronicle the evolution of baths, bathing, and its many accoutrements. Enticing contemporary photography shows baths in the Middle East and Japan, saunas in Sweden, and the often luxurious private bathrooms of the West. At a time when the bath and its associated therapies-thermal springs, scented oils, massages, and soaps-have become a crucial part of sensual and healthy living. The Book of the Bath offers a luxurious pictorial history to inspire the mind and soothe the senses. Bathing customs -- History.

hardbound, relie sous jaquette, 24 x 28 cm, 300 pages, 700 illustrations couleur, neuf !!. ISBN 9782915545455. 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. Diplomee des Ateliers-ENSCI en 1991, Matali Crasset garde de son passage chez le designer italien Denis Santachiara un interet pour les nouvelles technologies. Des son retour a Paris, elle developpe cette experience de design electronique lorsqu?elle collabore pendant cinq ans avec Philippe Starck, devenant responsable de Tim Thom, la structure de design integree de la societe Thomson Multimedia, et en 1996 lorsque le VIA lui donne carte blanche pour son projet de mobilier domestique informatique W at Hom. Sa maison-atelier, qu?elle installe en 1998 a Belleville au milieu de petits jardins dans une ancienne imprimerie, est propice a la reflexion et a la recherche. Elle y cree des objets souvent transformables proposant des solutions originales saluees par la critique pour leur caractere fonctionnel, poetique, imaginaire et recreatif. Parmi les innombrables realisations, on peut citer : la colonne d?hospitalite Quand Jim monte a Paris ou le canape-aire de jeux Permis de construire pour Domeau

Le style Art Deco, extraordinaire foisonnement d'idees et d'audaces, a succede aux floraisons lyriques qui, sous le nom d'Art Nouveau ou encore de Modern Style, ont marque le passage du XIXe siecle au XXe siecle.

Cette nouvelle version du Mobilier Art Deco - publie pour la premiere fois en 1981 - reprend l'essentiel des textes des editions precedentes, y compris le chapitre sur les paquebots ajoute en 1990. Toutefois, nombre de notices ont ete completees. L'illustration a fait l'objet d'une reactualisation grace a l'apport de photographies en couleurs.

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.
