teNeues Publishing UK Ltd 101 Design Classics: Why some ideas become true
Book Synopsis"A great gift for design aficionados and interiors addicts." — Irish Examiner With expert analysis, great photography, and a huge selection of familiar and unusual objects, this book explains what truly makes a design great and reveals the hidden stories behind the everyday things that surround us. The author, a writer and journalist specialising in design, has chosen 101 objects that have had a major influence on the world of design history, delving into the makers, the designers, and developments in production and style that made these pieces into design classics. The text incorporates design sketches, portraits of many well-known and some unknown designers, as well as numerous exciting anecdotes from the sewing box of design history. The selection of designers includes, but is not limited to, legends such as Charles & Ray Eames, Verner Panton, Alexander Girard and other protagonists of classical modernism. Also here are post-war designers such as Finn Juhl, Gilbert Rohde, Pierre Paulin, and Gae Aulenti, and postmodern and contemporary designers such as Philippe Starck, Marcel Wanders, and Konstantin Grcic. This book provides an in-depth and informative overview of 20th-century design - and a glimpse of the first true classic objects of the 21st century.Trade Review"From the innovative to the iconic, this design compilation provides a fascinating insight into more than 100 years of design history." - Boat International"A great gift for design aficionados and interiors addicts." - Irish ExaminerTable of ContentsForeword 8 Ball Clock (George Nelson | 1948) 10 Componibili (Anna Castelli Ferrieri | 1967) 12 Cabbage Chair (Oki Sato | 2008) 14 Tea Trolley 901 (Alvar Aalto | 1936) 16 Gräshoppa (Greta Grossman | 1947) 18 Loop Chair (Willy Guhl | 1954) 20 Tac 01 (Walter Gropius | 1969) 24 Tolix Stool (Xavier Pauchard | 1934) 28 Melt (Tom Dixon | 2015) 30 Lido (Battista and Gino Giudici | 1936) 34 Monkey (Jaime Hayon | 2010) 36 Unikko (Maija Isola | 1964) 38 Wishbone Chair (Hans J.

Rizzoli International Publications Piero Fornasetti Practical Madness
Book SynopsisAn extensive illustrated survey of one of the most inventive design minds of the twentieth century. Combining whimsy and elegance, Piero Fornasetti transformed everyday objects like cups, scarves, and plates into much sought-after works of art with his idiosyncratic motifs, such as the hand, the female face, and luminescent fish. His dazzling pieces of trompe l’oeil furniture, created in collaboration with Gio Ponti, are also highly prized by collectors worldwide. Fornasetti’s boundless imagination is celebrated here in a book published to document a major retrospective exhibition at the Musée des Arts Décoratifs in Paris. The first half of the monograph is organized by type and includes Fornasetti’s paintings, drawings, and furniture. The second half focuses on favorite themes: his use of trompe l’oeil, architectural drawings, and his variations on the face of a famous operatic beauty. Featuring 400 illustrations covering almTrade Review"Piero Fornasetti is a comprehensive introduction to the work of Fornasetti. . . This book is an excellent addition to the literature on design. It is a must-read for students and experts of design alike." -THE WASHINGTON BOOK REVIEW"I love [Piero Fornasetti: Practical Madness]. I don't know how you couldn't."-INTO THE GLOSS BLOG

Bloomsbury Publishing (UK) Design by IKEA A Cultural History
Book SynopsisSara Kristoffersson is guest professor of Design History and Theory at Konstfack National University College of Arts, Crafts and Design, Stockholm, Sweden. She has published a number of articles on various aspects of design, fashion, art and architecture and lectures widely on these topics at museums and universities, including École nationale supérieure des arts décoratifs, Paris, France; Parsons School of Design, New York, USA; the Royal Swedish Academy of Fine Arts and the Royal Institute of Art, Stockholm, Sweden.Trade ReviewEveryone should read [this]. * Swedish Design Research Journal *Sara Kristoffersson's monograph is a good example of emerging design research ... A superb analysis of the tenets and designs of the 1920s Bauhaus school as a utopia that never reached the stage of mass production, but which Ikea then took onboard after WWII. * ark: Finnish Architectural Review *An informative and thoughtful little book. * Scandinavian Studies *[Kristoffersson] deftly deals, in six information-packed chapters, with the background and reasons behind the phenomenal global success of IKEA ... A fascinating read. * TSS Reviews blog *Design by IKEA is the fist book to scrutinize the Swedish giant’s massive impact on contemporary design culture. Unpicking how the public image of IKEA has come to depend as much on the international image of Sweden as the other way around, Sara Kristoffersson critically assesses the company’s creative use of storytelling and stereotypes. -- Kjetil Fallan, University of Oslo, NorwayFinally, a critical and nuanced analysis of the world-dominating brand IKEA. Kristoffersson’s sharply honed prose reveals how the corporation has controversially come to define a nation, and how the inescapable ubiquity of its objects has transformed consumption on a global scale. Accessible and compelling, the book offers invaluable insight into the blurring of corporate, political and brand worlds in the 21st century. -- Alison J. Clarke University of Applied Arts Vienna, AustriaSara Kristoffersson manages to provide what Sweden and management scholars have been longing for: a cultural theorist's account of how a small company in the middle of Sweden has grown amazingly successful. With fresh eyes, she shows how cultural identity processes can build enormous wealth, national pride, and brand loyalty. -- Lars Strannegård, Stockholm School of Economics, SwedenTable of ContentsIntroduction Once upon a time… Ikea: A Swedish Story Beauty for Everyone From Copycat to Master of Style Democracy on Sale Sweden designed by Ikea
