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.

Hans Eichenberger (*1926) prägte die Schweizer Wohnkultur vor allem in den 1950er- bis 1960er-Jahren, aber auch darüber hinaus. Anlässlich seines 90. Geburtstags präsentiert diese Monografie sein Schaffen umfassend: in Essays, objektbezogenen Texten und mit Fotografien der Originalmöbel. Nach einer Ausbildung zum Schreiner und Zeichner entwarf Eichenberger in seinem Berner Atelier Möbel für Röthlisberger Kollektion, de Sede, Strässle, die Swiss Design Collection, Wogg und andere Hersteller; darunter über 50 Sitzmöbel, etwa den Sessel «HE-113» (1956) und den «Saffa-Stuhl» (1958). Metall, Leder und Kunststoff waren seine bevorzugten Materialien. Eichenberger richtete als freischaffender Innenarchitekt unter anderem die Genfer Filiale des Einrichtungshauses Teo Jakob, die Buchhandlung Stauffacher in Bern und mit der Architektengruppe Atelier 5 das Bistro und einen Laden in der Berner Siedlung Halen ein. Er erhielt zahlreiche Schweizer Auszeichnungen, und einige seiner Möbel wurden in internationale Sammlungen wie derjenigen des Vitra Design Museums in Weil am Rhein oder des MoMA in New York aufgenommen.

Hardcover, 192 pages, ENG / FR, 310 x 225 x 25 mm, NEW , illustrated in colour. ISBN 9782376660743. The 80s vibrate with energy. In their whirlwind, a generation of creators has emerged, carrying arts of living different from those of the past: Mark Brazier-Jones, Franck Evennou, Elizabeth Garouste, Marco de Gueltzl, Hubert Le Gall, Thierry Peltrault, Laurence Picot, Andrea Salvetti or even Claude de Wulf. In order to give flesh to this period in France, this book has collected the words of a witness of its actors, Elisabeth Delacarte whose Avant-Scène gallery is one of the few to have survived until today. For almost 40 years, it has defended singular artists who have become essential in their field. From France to England, Italy or Russia, the elaborate portraits dedicated to them evoke the atmosphere and the news that accompany them. Each embodies the importance of artistic craftsmanship, and all take particular paths in order to express universal emotions in their own way. The great subjects of today are declined along their course. We discover upcycling ahead of time with the fiery Marco de Gueltzl and the beginnings of the libertine punk Mark Brazier-Jones, the vital need for nature in the works of Frank Evennou or the sculptor chef Andrea Salvetti, the romanticism advocated by Laurence Picot, the joyful poetry of Elizabeth Garouste, the humorous fantasy of Hubert Le Gall. They have in common to have changed their lives to devote themselves to art furniture. This is also the case of Elisabeth Delacarte. His personal point of view illuminates from the inside the changes in the decorative arts at the end of the 20th century. Staging the productions of each artist, decoration projects punctuate the book and leave room for contemplation.
Hardcover, 176 pages, English, 305 x 235 mm, new book, with dustjacket, . ISBN 9782915542905. It is a rare species, but it exists, as '60s art critic Pascal Renous pointed out on the subject of artistic couples. This designer-decorator duo of Janine Abraham and Dirk-Jan Rol met at Jacques Dumond's studio in 1955. The couple shares the same love of precision, line and plain colours. Their earliest joint creations were first exhibited at the Salon des artistes decorateurs, in Paris. Their furniture, made of wicker, wood and aluminium, twice won prizes at the Salon des artistes decorateurs (a sideboard in 1956 and an armchair in 1958), garnering notice from the public and professionals alike. Jean Royere did not hesitate to use their emblematic Soleil armchair (gold medal at the 1958 Brussels World's Fair) in the decoration of the palace of the Shah of Iran, in Teheran. Their light and functional designs are available today, re-edited by Yota Design. Abraham & Rol were also interior designers and intervened in this capacity for both individual clients and large corporate clients, such as Yves Rocher and Saint-Gobain, with the same precision and sense of composition that define their furniture pieces. Finally, the couple also expressed their creativity through architecture, their mastery of this discipline enabling them to design some twenty houses from the 1960s through the 2000s in the Ile-de-France region. Their homes are genuine inhabited sculptures, of which certain have become truly emblematic.

Op zoek naar nieuwe betekenislagen, verlangend naar een nieuwe context. Madeleine Castaing, Jacques Grange, Alberto Pinto, Carlos de Beistegui: vele grote decorateurs gingen Voorjans al voor in een veiling van objecten die door hun handen passeerden. Die collectiestukken dragen nog altijd hun pedigree, maar vertellen nu andere verhalen in nieuwe contexten. Ook Voorjans laat zijn collectibles, die jarenlang zijn compagnons de route waren, los. In Collectibles geeft Voorjans ons een unieke blik in zijn rijk universum. Verder wil hij zijn passie voor verzamelen overdragen op een nieuwe generatie 'tastemakers', voor wie hij het pad geëffend heeft. Zijn privécollectie van kunst, antiek en curiosa kunnen elk op zich aan een nieuwe reis beginnen. Collectibles verzamelt het beste van Gert Voorjans' collectie van objecten en artefacts, die hij over een tijdspanne van 25 jaar heeft verzameld. ////// Gert Voorjans' universe dissected into objects This is not an auction catalog.

These collection items still bear their pedigree, but now tell different stories in new contexts. Voorjans is also releasing his collectibles, which were his partners' route for years. In Collectibles Voorjans gives us a unique glimpse into his rich universe. He also wants to pass on his passion for collecting to a new generation of 'tastemakers', for whom he has paved the way. His private collection of art, antiques and curios can each embark on a new journey in their own right.

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.
