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.

In Belgium, he has been known since the 1990s for his furniture designs in metal and the decoration of private and commercial spaces. Furthermore, Xavier Lust very quickly made his appearance in the private circles of the international edition. Since 'Le Banc', which was published by MDF Italia, he has been working with this publisher, but also with globally renowned brands such as De Padova, Driade, Moroso and Extremis. In 2003, Lust received the Henry van de Velde Prize for Young Talent from VIZO. His furniture is recognizable by its clean lines. He (re)forms metal surfaces, which opens up new perspectives for street furniture, table art, bathrooms, lighting, the covering of electrical products?

Hardcover, 208 pagina's, NL, 255 x 255 x 22 mm, stofomslag , boek is in Prima staat, met talrijke illustraties in kleur. ISBN 9789020928020. 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.
Broschiert, 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. Spater pragte er das Erscheinungsbild beruhmter Firmen und wurde schliesslich einer der erfolgreichsten Mobeldesigner. Doch obwohl der Schopfer zahlreicher Klassiker unser aller Lebensstil beeinflusst hat und langst zu den ganz Grossen der Branche gezahlt wird, ist sein Gesamtwerk bislang nur Insidern bekannt. Hier wird es erstmals systematisch dargestellt. Einer kompakten Biografie, die auch die Bruche jungster Geschichte spiegelt, folgen 34 Meilensteine des Mobeldesigns sowie die Darstellung wichtiger Marken. 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. Neue.
Hardback, , 280p, English edition, Fine copy. Including an index. Illustrated. ISBN 9783775738095. The name Hans J. Wegner (1914 2007) is inseparable from his unrivalled chairs, which helped Danish design to achieve its international breakthrough. Every design fan has his or her favorite from among Wegner s approximately five hundred creations. Today, there is a hardly a glossy interior design magazine that does not include an illustration of the elegant China Chair (1943) or the Y Chair (1950), and even John F. Kennedy sat on his Round Chair, which is now simply called The Chair (1949). Trained as a furniture maker, Wegner usually made his prototypes himself by hand, using traditional joinery techniques such as tongue-and-groove or finger joints. In the process he pushed the limitations of wood, giving his designs an unmatched elegance. His sense of humor did not fall by the wayside, either, as evidenced by his splendid Peacock Chair (1947) or the masculine Ox Chair (1960), that latter of which is available with or without horns.

Hardcover, 256 pages, English, book in perfect condition, with pictures in b/w, . ISBN 9781421411620. 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.
Hardcover, 352 pages Illustrated. 32 x 25 cm . ENGLISH ISBN 9783961711796. A vivid company biography of leading furniture manufacturer Walter Knoll based on its formative figures Wilhelm, Hans, and Walter Knoll and, for more than 25 years to date, Markus Benz. Walter Knoll, the book, charts the more than one-and-a-half-century-old history of this remarkable furniture dynasty, tracing the evolution of its designs in relation to key cultural and historical developments. When the Thomas Mann House in Los Angeles was recently bought by the Federal Republic of Germany and transformed into a representative transatlantic meeting place, it was Walter Knoll furnishings that defined its interior design and showcased German creativity and economic-cultural performance. Based in Herrenberg, near Stuttgart, the more than 150-year-old furniture business is one of the most successful furniture companies of the modern era and a global leader in the high-end furnishings segment. Walter Knoll's impressively long history dates back to Wilhelm Knoll, the founding father of the Knoll dynasty, who first set up a leather shop in Stuttgart in 1865. Knoll rose from being a tanner and merchant to the court purveyor to the House of Wurttemberg. When his sons, Willy and Walter, took over the company in 1907, they began producing seating-introducing the first club armchair to Germany and becoming the industry's first exporter. Their advances marked a revolution in upholstered furniture. After founding his own company in the 1920s, Walter Knoll was a breakout sensation in the avant-garde interior design world with a landmark exhibition at the Weissenhof Estate in Stuttgart, under the direction of Mies van der Rohe, in 1927. His son, Hans Knoll, went to the U.S. in the 1930s and himself founded his own company, Knoll Inc., and with it, re-wrote design history. In 1993, Markus Benz, the son of Rolf Benz, joined the Knoll ranks, continuing the successful cooperation with internationally-renowned architects and designers.

Testi di Elspeth Thompson. Tricia Guild è conosciuta per l'originalità delle sue collezioni di stoffe e carte da parati e per la straordinaria capacità nell'uso del colore e delle fantasie nella decorazione di interni. La sua ispirazione nasce dai tessuti, dalle tecniche, dai motivi e dai moduli ornamentali di ogni parte del mondo e di ogni epoca storica - il broccato e il damasco dell'Estremo Oriente, la tradizione dell'illustrazione botanica e della pittura floreale, gli scozzesi, i rigati e i quadrettati del Nord Europa, i vivaci stampati etnici dell'India e dell'America centrale, le decorazioni figurate delle porcellane cinesi ed europee, le audaci fantasie astratte e geometriche della pittura contemporanea. Oggi l'interesse per la decorazione ha raggiunto un vasto pubblico. Dopo interi decenni dominati dal minimalismo, il colore è tornato prepotentemente alla ribalta tanto nei tessuti quanto nella carta da parati. Fra i maggiori designer a livello mondiale, Tricia Guild sa interpretare con maestria questa tendenza. Scegliere motivi tradizionali e reinterpretarli in chiave moderna, elaborare usi sorprendentemente contemporanei di tecniche dimenticate come la stampa a floccaggio, rivisitare motivi decorativi osservati nei molti viaggi in ogni parte del mondo, dall'Italia all'India: tutto questo fa parte del suo modo di intendere il lavoro. Il libro offre a tutti spunti e idee per valorizzare la propria casa. Note alle condizioni del volume Nessuna.

softcover onder geillustreerde kartonomslag, z/w frontispice, 165 x 240mm., 64pp., uitgebreide kleurillustratie. ISBN 9789058562449. Deze publicatie brengt het verhaal van een meubelbedrijf uit Deinze dat vooral in de jaren 1950 en 1960 succes kende. V-Form profileerde zich met ontwerpen die eenvoud, functionaliteit en betaalbaarheid vooropstelden en werkte daarvoor samen met veelbelovende ontwerpers als Romain Van Assche, Emiel Veranneman en Pieter De Bruyne. De auteurs bouwden het verhaal op aan de hand van getuigenissen en niet eerder gepubliceerde documenten uit het archief van V-Form. Ze tonen aan dat je uit designarchieven vaak interessante en verrassende informatie kan putten en willen op die manier het bewaren van archieven die verband houden met design aanmoedigen. Tegelijk illustreren de folders, catalogi en foto??™s van V-Form de tijdsgeest van de fifties tot de seventies. Ze geven een amusant beeld van de wooncultuur, de smaken en de reclameboodschappen van toen. V-Form, een pionier van het moderne meubel is een realisatie van Designarchief Vlaanderen, het Design museum Gent en de vzw Designcentrum Vlaanderen. Nieuw boek.

Paperback, English/ Finnish, 151 PAGES Illustrated. fine! ISBN 9789529878871. Timo Sarpaneva was originally trained as a graphic designer and the student assignments from his years at the Central School of Industrial Art (1940 ? 1949) have not been previously published or displayed. Less known works by him also include textile patterns and designs from the 1940s and 1950s. Added to these are paintings and graphic design by Timo Sarpaneva from the same period, 1943 ? 1956. Timo Sarpaneva : Piirroksia, luonnoksia ja maalauksia 1943 - 1956 Drawings, Sketches and Paintings 1943 - 1956 Paperback English, Finnish Translated by Jyri Kokkonen , Edited by Harry Kivilinna Share Timo Sarpaneva oli koulutukseltaan graafikko, ja hänen Taideteollisuus-keskuskoulun aikana (1940 - 1949) tekemiään koulutehtäviä ei ole aikaisemmin ollut esillä tai julkaistu. Vähemmän tunnettuja ovat myös hänen 1940-1950 - luvuilla suunnittelemansa tekstiilimallit. Tähän julkaisuun on lisäksi koottu hänen maalauksiaan ja grafiikkaa samalta ajanjaksolta, vuosilta 1943 - 1956. Timo Sarpaneva (1926-2006) oli monipuolinen kansainvälinen taiteilija ja suunnittelija, jonka ura ajoittuu seitsemälle vuosikymmenelle. Hän suunnitteli mm. tekstiilejä, painotuotteita, muovia, valurautaa, terästä, posliinia, lasia ja hopeaa. Hänen keksimälleen paperin- ja kankaanpainomenetelmälle myönnettiin kansainvälinen patentti. Myös Iittalan lasitehtaalla Sarpanevan keksimä Finlandia-pintalasitekniikka vaikutti suuresti seuraavien vuosien käyttö- ja taidelasin ilmeeseen. Jo Sarpanevan ensi esiintyminen taidemaalarina v. 1949 Helsingin Taidehallin nuortennäyttelyssä oli menestys. ?Sarpaneva on huomioon otettava koloristinen lahjakkuus, jonka hienostunut taidekäsitys antaa suuria lupauksia?, kirjoitti arvostettu taidekriitikko Edward Richter. Toinen sija Riihimäen lasitehtaan julistamassa kansainvälisessä lasinsuunnittelukilpailussa v. 1949, sytytti kiinnostuksen lasiin. Lasin parissa Sarpaneva työskenteli koko uransa ajan suunnitellen käyttö- ja taidelasia, sekä lasiveistoksia. Hänen teollista muotoiluaan on palkittu mm. Milanon Triennaleissa Grand Prix'lla. Sarpaneva on ottanut vastaan lukuisia huomionosoituksia mm. Pro Finlandia 1958 Maailman ensimmäinen muotoilun kunniatohtori, Royal College of Art, Lontoo 1967 Professorin arvonimi 1976 Akateemikko H.C., Academia de Diseno, University of Mexico City 1985 Kunniatohtori, Taideteollinen Korkeakoulu 1993
