DESIGN IN ITALIA. DIETRO LE QUINTE DELL'INDUSTRIA. THE MAKING OF AN INDUSTRY,
5 Continents Editions, 2008 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.

Charles Percier : Architecture and Design in an Age of Revolutions
Yale University Press 2016, 2016 Hardcover, 304 pages, English, 295 x 255 mm, new book with dustjacket. ISBN 9780300221589.
¶ Handsomely designed and richly illustrated, this publication surveys the magnificent spectrum of projects undertaken by French architect and interior designer Charles Percier (1764-1838). After gaining an illustrious reputation for supervising the scenery at the Paris Opera during the French Revolution, Percier was later appointed by Napoleon Bonaparte. With the Emperor's support, he developed the opulent versions of neoclassicism closely associated with the Napoleonic era, and now known as Directoire style and Empire style. Percier worked on the renovation or redecoration of many of France's royal palaces, including the Louvre, the Tuileries, and the chateaux of Malmaison, Saint-Cloud, and Fontainebleau. The full scope and variety of Percier's design projects are revealed in this book, which also includes archival material detailing Percier's relationships with patrons and peers.

EAMES: BEAUTIFUL DETAILS
Ammo Books, 2012 Hardcover, 410 pages, ENG, 430 x 310 x 55 mm, NEW !, Full Page illustrations in colour / b/w, XX Large Edition, for protection in a strong wooden case !. ISBN 9781934429747.
¶ Eames: Beautiful Details" celebrates the seamlessness and fluidity in which Charles and Ray Eames operated as both a husband-and-wife team and as designers unrestricted by traditionally profesionally boundaries. Select details of their life and work, from their refined designs to to their innovative experiments, and even including images depicting the everyday poetic moments of their lives, and are shared here in this exhibit within a book. Inspired by Charles's immersive and original slideshows, in which he expertly selected and grouped images together that communicated information in an aesthetic, direct, and accessible way, this book strives to visually created the Eameses' life and work by taking the viewer through a delightful joruney, focusing on their "beautiful details." The packaging design of the "Eames: Beautiful Details" slipcase is a pattern inspired by the triangles and colors of one of their most inventive, if lesser-known, designs for children, simply called, "the toy." It also pays homage to the patterns they used on their well-loved House of Cards. The Eameses brought a sense of humor and joy to everything they created, and the design and layout of the book aims to convey that spirit in a visual feast for the eyes. It is a testament to the Eameses and the lasting value of good design that their Eames lounge chair, created in 1956, endures today as perhaps the most recognizable and coveted piece of mid-century furniture design. Their experiments in technological innovations, like molded plywood and fiberglass, resulted in such classic pieces as the bent plywood LCW and DCM Chairs, the Molded Plastic Chairs, and the Aluminum Group; all of which are still in production by Herman Miller. Likewise, Charles and Ray designed and built their own home in 1949 in Pacific Palisades, and it is still revered as a landmark of modern architecture. Built as part of the Case Study program in California, sponsored by Arts & Architecture magazine, it was one of the earliest experiments in pre-fab construction, using off-the-shelf industrial parts. But unlike the austerity of much of modern architectural design, their factory-like shell was lovingly lived in along with their personal collections of folk art, treasures from their travels, and everyday objects refreshingly displayed with affection and without pretense.

Josef Albers Life and Work
Thame and Hudson, 2018 Hardcover with dusjacket,. ISBN 9780500519103.
¶ While Josef Albers' Bauhaus colleagues Klee and Kandinsky are household names, Albers himself has remained inscrutable. He is best known as the painter of the Homages to the Square, a series of over 2,000 seemingly tightly controlled experiments in the interaction of colour. Yet he did not begin these pictures until he was in his sixties, already several decades into his career as an artist, maker and theorist, much of it pursued in the United States following the Nazi dissolution of the Bauhaus in 1933. Misunderstanding of the Homages reflects a wider misreading of Albers' life and work. Married to the textile artist Anni Albers, his papers include letters from fellow artists John Cage, Robert Rauschenberg, Richard Serra and Eva Hesse; colleagues such as Buckminster Fuller and Philip Johnson; and fans and collectors ranging from the composer Virgil Thomson to the cartoonist Saul Steinberg. If his network of influence was surprisingly wide, so, too, were his interests. Albers started life at the Bauhaus as a glassmaker, ran their renowned wallpaper workshop, and designed furniture that is still in production eighty years later. He pioneered the study of colour at Black Mountain College, organized its famed Summer Sessions' with guest tutors from Willem de Kooning to Merce Cunningham, and went on to head the design department at Yale. Drawing on extensive unpublished writings, documents and illustrations, Darwent offers a broad view of not only the artistic and political currents, but also the friendships and rivalries that formed the backdrop to Albers' creative output.

ALDO ROSSI DESIGN 1980-1997
Silvana Editoriale, 2022 HB, 280 x 240 mm, 304 pages, ENG edition. ISBN 9788836651184.
¶ Aldo Rossi (1931-1997) added to his successful activity as architect, professor and theorist, also that - equally well known - of designer: in this field he continued with great professionalism and passion until his untimely death in 1997, collaborating with some of the most important Italian and international manufacturers, such as Alessi, Artemide, Bruno Longoni Atelier d'Arredo, Molteni, Rosenthal and Unifor. The volume investigates Aldo Rossi's activity in the design sector in its entirety, presenting the furnishings and objects designed and manufactured from 1960 to 1997. Among these, some pieces well known to the public stand out, such as the La Conica and La Cupola coffee makers by Alessi, the Cabina dell'Elba by Bruno Longoni Atelier d'Arredo or the Paris chair by Unifor, just to name a few. The analysis of this production, which also includes unpublished projects and prototypes, highlights the continuous and constant relationship with architecture, while the technical drawings and photographic and archival documentation help to restore the history of each piece. The volume includes a critical essay by Domitilla Dardi.

Made in Mali : Cheick Diallo : Designer
Silvana Editoriale, 2012 Hardcover, 144 pages, English/Francais, 225 x 197 x 18 mm, fine copy, richly illustrated with coloured illustrations. ISBN 9788836623440.
¶ Cheick Diallo, (né au Mali en 1960) découvre le design dans les années 1980 lors de ses études d'architecture en France. Il oeuvre à la fois en France et au Mali. Cette première monographie du designer accompagne une exposition au musée Mandet de Riom (France) qui présente une rétrospective de son travail depuis 25 ans. On y trouve ses premières pièces basées sur le principe de la récupération : bibliothèques, tables et sièges en boîtes de conserve mais aussi sa ligne de mobilier tressé de fils de nylon et une multitude de meubles et d'objets reposant sur le détournement de techniques traditionnelles : de l'impression de cire sur du cuir à la création d'objets précieux mêlant le savoir-faire des bijoutiers touaregs à ceux des sculpteurs sur ébène pour des coffrets, des lampes et des couverts. Préfacé par Marie-Josée Linou, Conservateur en chef du patrimoine, directrice des musées de Riom Communauté, l'ouvrage donne la parole à des spécialistes du design et de l'art contemporain africain, à travers un cheminement très richement illustré, où les objets racontent une histoire.

Dirk Wynants. Designer. I've Always Been Attached to the Globe.
Stichting Kunstboek BVBA, 2012 Hardback, 260x210mm, 160p, 100 colour illustrations, English edition. ISBN 9789058564085.
¶ Dirk Wynants (?°1964) is de oprichter en eigenaar van het vernieuwende Belgische meubelmerk Extremis. Hij is tegelijk de belangrijkste ontwerper van het merk en de bedenker van het briljante branding concept "Tools for Togetherness". Het unieke succesverhaal van Extremis, dat op enkele jaren tijd een internationale reputatie verwierf als trendsetter op het gebied van buitenmeubilair, is sterk gelinkt aan de bevlogen persoonlijkheid en veelzijdige talenten van deze ontwerper-ondernemer, die het klappen van de zweep al heel jong leerde als zoon van een meubelmaker-schrijnwerker. Meer dan wie ook laat hij zich inspireren door een geengageerde visie op design. Hij heeft een duidelijke boodschap. Design is niet zomaar een kwestie van stijliconen of glamourdingen, maar veel meer van innovatieve oplossingen die van de wereld hopelijk een betere plek kunnen maken, vandaar de titel Design Works? Overtuigd maar ook altijd met de moed om vraagtekens te plaatsen. Sinds 2007 bestaat Dirk Wynants Design Works of (dw)2 autonoom en staat het naast Extremis ook open voor externe ontwerpopdrachten. Dirk Wynants sleepte sinds de start van Extremis in 1994 talloze internationale onderscheidingen in de wacht. Van de meest prestigieuze designerkenningen tot awards voor design management, algemeen management en export (waaronder Henry van de Velde Awards, Interior Innovation Award, (IMM Koln), Red Dot Award, International Excellence Design Award). As a son of a cabinet maker, Dirk Wynants (?°1964), was brought up with a nose for good design and a healthy dose of entrepreneurship. He studied interior and furniture design at Sint-Lucas School for Architecture in Ghent (Belgium) and was involved in the distribution of international design brands, until he established Extremis (1994), a label and brand for his own designs. Extremis' outdoor furniture designs quickly grew into an international standard of excellence. Not only the design collection itself has been applauded and awarded many times (with several Henry van de Velde Awards, Interior Innovation Award, (IMM Koln 2005), Red Dot Award 2005, International Excellence Design Award 2007, ao.), the expertise of Extremis in the field of design management, general management and export was praised just as well. In 2007 the creative unit of Extremis continued under the name Dirk Wynants Design Works = (dw)?, to enable the company to take on external design tasks. Dirk Wynants is still managing director and main designer of Extremis, but is also working closely together with other internationally renowned designers.

THE DANISH CHAIR : An international affair
Strandberg (T&H distr), 2024 Hardcover, 336 pages, ENG. edition; 250 x 140 x 30 mm, NEW, over 300 illustrations in colour / b/w., small text. ISBN 9788792596628.
¶ Danish designers are renowned around the world for their beautiful and functional chairs. Here is the book that tells the full story of the Danish chairs that were created during the 20th century. The Danish Chair is structured around chair types and illustrates how the 'golden age' of Danish furniture design was driven by the study and refinement of historical furniture types. It traces the family relations between the chairs and shows how they influenced each other in terms of detailing, construction and concept. Design was the cultural phenomenon that put Denmark on the world map in the mid 20th century. The international brand of Danish Design arose in 1949 when American journalists began to write about the Danish furniture at the Copenhagen Cabinetmakers' Guild exhibition. This was not only the beginning of an important export opportunity but was also taken up as a challenge by Danish designers, who became world-renowned for their obsession with creating the perfect chair.

¶ 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.

BELGISCH DESIGN BELGE / Gustave Serrurier-Bovy, Huib Hoste, Jacques Dupuis, Willy Van Der Meeren, Jules Wabbes, Maarten Van Severen, Meurop, Alain Gilles, Christophe Gevers,
Design Museum Brussels, 2021 softcover, 275 x 200 mm, 160 pages, Illustrated. EN-FR-NL edition. ISBN 9782875720689.
¶ Van art noveau tot hedendaagse creaties via het naoorlogse functionalisme - deze tentoonstelling verkent onder andere het werk van ontwerpers en de productie van Belgische bedrijven en uitgeverijen zoals Gustave Serrurier-Bovy, Huib Hoste, Jacques Dupuis, Willy Van Der Meeren, Jules Wabbes, Maarten Van Severen, Meurop, Alain Gilles, Christophe Gevers. De l'Art nouveau à la création d'aujourd'hui en passant par le fonctionnalisme d'après-guerre, cette exposition explore entre autres le travail des designers et la production d'entreprises et de maisons d'éditions belges. Parmi ces designers et producteurs citons : Gustave Serrurier- Bovy, Huib Hoste, Jacques Dupuis, Willy Van Der Meeren, Jules Wabbes, Maarten Van Severen, Meurop, Alain Gilles, Christophe Gevers. Comment raconter le design aujourd'hui ? En considérant les objets non seulement dans leur matérialité mais aussi la manière dont ils façonnent notre environnement (im)matériel, nos interactions sociales et notre perception visuelle. Comment raconter un design à vivre et à voir ? Comment parler au 21e siècle de l'histoire du design en Belgique? C'est avec ces interrogations que Belgisch design belge, l'exposition au Design Museum Brussels et ce livre qui l'accompagne, souhaitent initier une forme de réflexion. Après les livres Panorama et Designing the night, ce projet initie un cycle de propositions sous la forme de pop-ups qui se succèderont dans le temps. Les sélections de pièces tantôt subjectives jamais exhaustives se voudront représentatives du design en Belgique depuis les premiers pas de celui-ci jusqu'à ses représentants actuels les plus passionnants. C'est ici l'occasion de redécouvrir certains parmi les designers les plus talentueux comme Maarten Van Severen ou Christophe Gevers et de retracer brièvement leur parcours. Les pièces d'époques, de matériaux, de statuts et de natures différentes se succèdent telles que les accessoires en bois ou en métal conçus dans les années 1950 par Jules Wabbes, Jacques Dupuis et Léon Stynen, ou les premiers gadgets en matière plastique, ustensiles de cuisine développés par les films ACEC ou NOVA ou encore les tabourets de bar en vinyle aux motifs bicolores et ludiques de Willy Van Der Meeren. Ce tour d'horizon confirme par ailleurs, l'importance de la manufacture Boch Keramis ou de la firme Meurop et permet de se pencher, entre autres, sur les carrières de Huib Hoste, Xavier Lust ou Gustave Serrurier-Bovy. Belgisch design belge, une exposition en cours au Design Museum Brussels, jusque fin 2021.
