relie, de toile, 23x30.5cm, 400 pages ., 600 illustrations couleur et noir et blanc Texte en Francais. ISBN 9782915542042. Jean-Michel Frank (1895-1941) est une figure mythique des arts decoratifs. Son style qualifie de ?« luxe pauvre » est tout aussi paradoxal que sa vie entre fetes et solitude, avec des amities fideles pour des poetes, des artistes qui ont ete determinants dans l?elaboration de son esthetique, mais aussi ses clients, gens du monde, de la mode ou intellectuels. Les contraignant a se defaire de leurs objets, de leurs tableaux et de leurs tapis, Frank a invente pour eux des lieux propices a la meditation et au reve, un mobilier d'une simplicite parfaite, proche d?un neoclassicisme francais depouille de ses ornements. Indifferent aux grands debats de la premiere moitie d'un XXe siecle, Jean-Michel Frank n?a cherche ni a construire un nouveau monde ni a se raccrocher a un passe nostalgique. Avec elegance, il a casse les conventions, nettoye les lieux de leur histoire. Peut-etre est-ce ce melange de legerete et de rigueur, de reve et de poesie, ce detournement tres actuel des objets et des materiaux qui ont amene tant de decorateurs et de designers contemporains a se reclamer de lui.

Bound, cloth with illustrated dustjacket in colour, 215 x 305mm., 636pp., illustrated. ISBN 9781851496464. This book is fundamentally a reprint of three Thomson books of furniture designs that are out out of print and very sort after. The books reproduced in this edition include: Cabinet-Makers Assistant Cabinet-Makers Sketch Book Practical Cabinet-Makers Book of Designs These books are all very rare and no more than a handful are available throughout the world. 'The Assistant' was the most popular book of furniture design, certainly within the British Empire, and possibly the world, as it was reprinted, unchanged, four times between 1852-1863. As the originals are now 160 years old and in far from perfect condition, a great deal of restoration was necessary. New.
Hardbound, with dusjacket, Couverture reliee sous jaquette, Format: 23 x 30,5 cm, 416 pages, 600 illustrations couleur et noir . ISBN 9782915542325. Dans cette premiere monographie consacree a Marc du Plantier (1901-1975), decorateur majeur du xxe siecle, l'historien de l'art Yves Badetz renoue le fil de son oeuvre a travers ses carnets de croquis et les lettres relatant a sa femme le detail de ses installations. Apres une formation d'architecte a l'Ecole nationale superieure des beaux-arts et de peintre a l'academie Julian, Marc du Plantier debute sa carriere en 1928. Des les premieres realisations se met en place son vocabulaire architectural, caracterise par la rigueur des lignes, le travail sur la couleur, la lumiere indirecte et le jeu des miroirs. Art qui atteint son apogee rue du Belvedere, ou Anne et Marc du Plantier recoivent le Tout-Paris des annees 30. Suivront l'appartement dominant la baie d'Alger, considere comme un des sommets de la decoration de son temps, les palais madrilenes ou, de 1938 a 1949, il developpe un neoclassicisme remarquable, les appartements parisiens des annees 50, le salon de l'ambassade francaise d'Ottawa. Au debut des annees 60, la disparition des commandes privees pousse le createur a s'installer a Mexico, ou il fonde la societe Artedecor, puis a Los Angeles, avant de revenir a Paris par la voie de l'Orient. De ce contact avec le pop americain nait le travail qu'il developpe en 1968, creant a partir de nouveaux materiaux des modeles destines a l?edition pour la galerie Lacloche ou pour la salle a manger de Maurice Rheims, sans jamais se departir de sa rigueur classique.
Hardcover , 175 pages with illustrations b/n, 22x29 cm. . ISBN 9789529437627. Chasing Light: The Archival Photographs and Drawings of Paavo Tynell is the first-ever book published in English about the prolific Finnish lighting designer Paavo Tynell. Focusing on the period 1946?1957, the book is based on previously unpublished photographs and work drawings that have been collected from archives. Over 100 archive photos and original drawings also present more unusual and rare variations of Tynell?s lighting design, as well as an in-depth look at the stunning Snowflake chandelier. Tynell?s light fixtures were manufactured by a group of highly-trained metalwork professionals, whose artistry is practically impossible to replicate. The key goal of the book is to feature photographs and drawings that are rich in content for the reader to get an idea of the high level of craftsmanship involved in making these lamps. The book has been written by Finnish antique dealer Ville Linna, and it has been printed in Finland.?
