05 2022, newly revised edition (19 x 26 cm), 696 pp. English text, 350 colour and 75 b/w. ills., paperback.
¶ Bard Graduate Center: Decorative Arts, Design History, Material Culture Book design Irma Boom, The first English-language survey to focus on the Finnish Modernist design company Artek and its founders, Alvar and Aino Aalto The Finnish design firm Artek is best known as the producer and distributor of Modernist bentwood furniture designed by Alvar Aalto (1898-1976). However, its mission was more complex and multifaceted, grounded in the notion that art and design could enhance everyday life. Artek and the Aaltos showcases more than three hundred objects, including furniture, glassware, lighting, design sketches, drawings, textile swatches, and photographs. Most of the material is published here for the first time. It contextualizes the contributions of Artek, and those of its founders, Alvar and his wife, Aino Marsio Aalto (1894-1949), providing evidence for their close professional partnership as well as critical interpretations of their major projects. It also considers individuals such as Maija Heikenheimo, whose career at Artek spanned three decades. In addition, this book examines the Aaltos' advocacy for the use of standardized forms and shows how modern designers continue to work with the Artek product line and within the parameters of the company's mission. Fully indexed appendices present new scholarship, including an inventory of the Artek product line (furniture, textiles, and glass), and a list of public and private commissions. This book is the first English-language publication on the topic, as well as the most comprehensive, with chapters authored by leading scholars of design history and architecture

Ted Noten Ubiqist.
June 2015, (22 x 29 cm), 240 pp. Dutch text, nuemerous colour ills., hardcover.
¶ Ted Noten behoort tot de meest eigenzinnige en radicale ontwerpers van dit moment. Wereldwijd hebben zijn doorschijnende acryllaat tassen - waarin soms een dier, juwelen of cocaïne en dan weer wapens zijn ingesloten - verzamelaars verleid, autoriteiten verward, collega's geïnspireerd en studenten uitgedaagd. Schoonheid en geweld, perfectie en verval: het zijn thema's die nooit uit zijn werk zijn verdwenen sinds hij het beroemde collier maakte waarin een muis met parelketting was gevat. Met zijn projecten bespeelt Noten even makkelijk de commerciële ruimte als het domein van de kunst. Hij mengt de taal van de straat met de strenge marsorde van de catwalk. Noten weet ze in zijn oeuvre te verbinden, waarbij hij zowel de aantrekkingskracht als de hypocrisie van het museum, de mode of de burgerlijke moraal weet bloot te leggen. Dit boek toont de genadeloze precisie van elk afzonderlijk ontwerp. Tegelijk documenteert het hoe groot het speelveld is waarop Noten zich beweegt. En het reist hem achterna naar internationale musea en duistere villa's, symposia en werkplaatsen, wereldkranten en videoclips, academies en prostitutiepanden. Door het oog van fotograaf Johannes Schwartz werpt het boek een blik in de intimiteit van zijn atelier.

Yves Gastou antiquaire du futur
2010, (23 x 31 cm), 300 pp. French text, numerous ills., flexicover
¶ Dit aanstekelijk boek volgt de voetsporen van de Franse antiquair en verzamelaar Yves Gastou: een ontdekkingstocht door de 20ste eeuwse decoratieve kunsten vanaf de jaren 1930. Gastou, al vroeg promotor van ontwerpers uit de jaren '80, combineert in zijn Parijse galerie alle decoratieve stijlen uit de 20ste eeuw. Het antiek van de toekomst. // Marchand et collectionneur, Yves Gastou a exploré les courants marquants des arts décoratifs du xxe siècle au fil de découvertes et de redécouvertes. Sa carrière débute en province où il remet à l'honneur l'Art nouveau et l'Art déco, puis découvre en 1972, à Toulouse, André Arbus. Ce grand ébéniste des années 40 demeure en quelque sorte la charnière qui déplace son goût vers la seconde moitié du xxe siècle. Dès son installation à Paris, Yves Gastou se tourne vers les années 40, 50 puis 70, sans oublier le design des années 80, dont il demeure le promoteur contemporain. En décembre 1985, il ouvre sa galerie parisienne, rue Bonaparte, accolée à l'École des beaux-arts, en plein cÏur de Saint-Germain-des-Prés avec une façade réalisée en terrazzo noir et blanc par Ettore Sottsass. Il sera en effet le premier marchand à Paris à oser le mélange entre arts décoratifs et design contemporain, à l'aube des années 80.

¶ Die Stahlrohrmöbel von Marcel Breuer (1902-1981) gelten als herausragende Designobjekte des 20. Jahrhunderts.

Charlotte Perriand. Complete Works Volume 4: 1969-1999.
10 2019, (23 x 30,5 cm), 528 pp English, 446 colour & 204 b/w ills., hardcover.
¶ The concluding fourth volume of this definitive monograph on Charlotte Perriand (1903-1999) covers the last three decades of her long career. At the core is the Les Arcs skiing resort in the French Alps, where Perriand played a key role in the project development. A pioneer of bioclimatic architecture, she oversaw the architectural and urban design of Arc 1600 and Arc 1800 and created the interiors and entire outfitting down to cutlery and china for the more than 4,500 apartments. Les Arcs, an extraordinary undertaking both in sheer size and the extent of Perriand's contribution, marks the culmination of her research on alpine housing in unison with nature. The book also features a number of projects - housing and art spaces - between Paris and Tokyo, in which she aimed once more to push the borders of a specific modern, cultivated way of living. It also offers a comprehensive appraisal of seven decades' work that manifests the creative force and vision of this extraordinary woman, one of the most eminent protagonists of modern architecture and design.

Bauhausleuchten ? Kademlicht ! / Bauhaus Lighting ? Kandem Light !
Stuttgart 2002, (25 x 29 cm), 160 pp. English/German text, some ills. (150 in colour), clothb./d-jacket.
¶ The aim of co-operating with partners from industry, first postulated by Walter Gropius, was a central concept of the Bauhaus in Dessau. One of the rare successes were several KANDEM lights produced by Körting & Mathiesen in Leipzig. Co-operation with the Bauhaus provided the industrial business with a creative partner for the design of its lights, while the Bauhaus artists (Marianne Brandt, Hin Bredendieck and others) found a wealthy realizer for their design ideas. Models like the Kandem desk lights and Kandem bedside lights sold well and were a financial success. This publication for the first time brings together all known Kandem lights that were designed and produced in co-operation with the Bauhaus in Dessau. Contributions by noted experts present a comprehensive history based on many previously unknown sources and documents, as well as biographies of the artists and industrialists involved and a survey of marks. An exciting chapter of early product design at the Bauhaus!

Pierre Guariche. Luminaires - Mobilier - Architecture d'interieur
10 2020, (25,3 x 31,2 cm), 336 pp. French / English text, hardcover
¶ The first monograph on French mid-century modern designer Pierre Guariche, whose innovative lighting and furniture is still popular today Pierre Guariche (1926-1995) was a leading interior architect, furniture, and lighting designer in postwar France. He created a prolific body of work during what is known as the Thirty Glorious Years (1945-1975), a period of economic prosperity and high growth in France. He was an early adopter of industrial materials and production techniques that emerged during the 1950s, and is known for his remarkable lighting fixtures and simple, elegant furniture designs that could be manufactured on a large scale. He worked with innovative companies like Airborne, Steiner, and Pierre Disderot; he co-founded a design collective (Atelier de Recherche Plastique- ARP); and was the artistic director for the Meurop furniture company in Belgium. In advance of Charlotte Perriand in Les Arcs and Marcel Breuer in Flaine, he worked with the architect Michel Bezançon on the creation of La Plagne, the first comprehensive winter sports resort in France. Making use of unpublished archives, this book looks back on a rich itinerary of over 200 interior architecture and design projects, almost as many pieces of furniture, and a series of remarkable lighting fixtures (reissued today by Sammode) which shed light on the modernity and timeless elegance of this remarkable creator.
