Bumping to bottom corners, still in publisher's plastic. ; History of Warfare, 46; 1 x 9.25 x 6.25 Inches; 481 pages; This is the second update of A Cumulative Bibliography of Medieval Military History and Technology, which appeared in 2002. It is meant to do two things: to present references to works on medieval military history and technology not included in the first two volumes; and to present references to all books and articles published on medieval military history and technology from 2003 to 2006. These references are divided into the same categories as in the first two volumes and cover a chronological period of the same length, from late antiquity to 1648, again in order to present a more complete picture of influences on and from the Middle Ages. It also continues to cover the same geographical area as the first and second volume, in essence Europe and the Middle East, or, again, influences on and from this area. The languages of these bibliographical references reflect this geography.

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.

The sleek lines of Danish Modern furniture took the design world by storm in the mid-twentieth century. Among the American companies that manufactured this style of furniture was the Heywood-Wakefield Co., based in Gardner, Massachusetts. Known widely today for their lines of blonde furniture, Heywood-Wakefield addressed the American family's desire for an informal yet sophisticated look through its Danish Modern and related lines produced in the 1950s and 1960s. Here are original Heywood-Wakefield catalog images of Danish inspired living room, dining room, and bedroom furniture, featuring original catalog descriptions, model numbers, and measurements for all pieces. A price guide showing current market values is included. Collectors, designers, and aficionados of vintage furniture will welcome this timeless presentation.
Hardcover, 26 x 21 cm, 160 p., 300 illustraties, Engels, Fine copy. Including an index. ISBN 9789058563026. Danny Venlet (?°1958, Victoria, Australia) is een van ?s werelds beste en meest veelbelovende designers; toch is zijn werk een goed bewaard geheim in de designwereld. Dit is enerzijds te wijten aan het feit dat Venlet in twee verschillende werelden (Australie en Belgie) gewerkt en geleefd heeft, maar is anderzijds ook te verklaren door de essentie van zijn persoonlijkheid en werk ? bescheiden, geneigd tot understatements, en relaxed. Hoewel Venlet algemeen beschouwd wordt als de uitvinder van een ?afgerond?, eerder ?organisch? en ?menselijk? minimalisme, beperkt hij zich als designer en interieurarchitect niet tot een enkele stijl. Een allesomvattend overzicht van een twintigjarige loopbaan, die niet alleen een revolutie veroorzaakte in de wereld van kantoor-, buiten- en residentiele meubels (met bekroonde creaties zoals de ?Easy Rider? en de ?Viteo? douche), maar tevens ook een totaal nieuw concept van interieurarchitectuur introduceerde, waarin objecten en gebruikers niet langer gedomineerd worden door de ruimte, maar vice versa.

Hardback, 305x230mm, 336p, 380 bw and col. illustrations FRENCH edition. ISBN 9782915542776. the 60s and 1970s marked a sharp turning point in the history of decoration and furniture. Until that point, the world was confined to national and elitist forms of expression. At the beginning of the 1960s, the sector took its inspiration from Anglo-Saxon, Scandinavian, Italian and French decoration. Genres were combined in a frenzied desire to live in symbiosis with one's time. The progress of technology strengthened the conviction that the individual had unlimited freedom and aroused the desire to inhabit in a new manner. Forms became rounder, furniture was in sync with a warm, playful, and anticonformist universe. Colours and decorative motifs took on the brilliance and fantasies of Pop Art and psychedelia. The living environment was transformed into a waking dream in which luxurious furniture in original materials and surprising objects were mixed, associated, for the first time, with early furniture. The end of the 1970s marked the advent of a period in which beauty and classic elegance gave way to a host of expressions that were unclassifiable and rejected any hierarchy. The postmodern period had arrived. Composed of a long introduction that provides a synoptic view and 32 monographs that describe its many faces, this book invites the reader to discover an exceptionally creative period and revels through an abundant iconography.

La mode est a la fois d'inspiration anglosaxonne, scandinave, italienne et francaise. Les genres se melangent dans un desir effrene de vivre en symbiose avec son temps. Les progres de la technologie accreditent la conviction d'une liberte conquerante de l'individu et suscitent des desirs inedits d'une nouvelle maniere d'habiter, fut-ce dans des cellules de science-fiction. Les formes s'arrondissent, les sieges deviennent des tapis-sculptures qui permettent de se lover dans des univers chaleureux, ludiques et anticonformistes. Les couleurs et les motifs decoratifs epousent l'eclat et les delires du Pop' Art et du psychedelisme. L'espace d'habitation se transforme en reve eveille ou se melent un mobilier luxueux dans des materiaux inedits et des objets surprenants de toutes origines, associes, fait nouveau, a des meubles anciens.

softcover 392 pages ,300 X 210 X 27 mm , 390 illustrations, Text in Deutsch / Englisch. ISBN 9783897906815. 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.

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.

Con questo studio si intende offrire, attraverso una serie di brevi capitoli, una descrizione degli eventi che tra gli anni Venti e gli anni Cinquanta hanno contribuito a produrre un nuovo universo di forme, che rappresenta il fondamento da cui discende la nostra contemporanea sensibilita formale.

Bound, 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.

Hardback, 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.
