PETER THOMSON AND SON. MID-VICTORIAN FURNITURE STYLES AND DESIGNS,
Suffolk, Antique Collector's Club, 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 sought 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. In addition this book includes the following for the first time: - A list of 600 U.K furniture makers who subscribed to the first edition of 'The Assistant' together with their addresses, a significant tool for furniture historians. - An introduction by John Andrews together with photographs of furniture from around the world made from Peter Thomson's designs - An index has been created for this edition as none was available due to the original compilation by the publisher being printed in parts.

FRANS VAN PRAET. TUSSEN VORMGEVING EN KUNST,
Oostkamp, Stichting Kunstboek, 2008 Geillustreerde kartonomslag met flappen, 240 x 300mm., 80pp., mooie en uitgebreide kleurillustratie. ISBN 9789058562739.
¶ Frans Van Praet is niet enkel interieurarchitect, maar ook kunstenaar en vormgever. Het hoge cross-overgehalte in zijn werk is het gevolg van zijn open geest die zich voortdurend laat voeden door al wat hem omringt. Steeds weer opduikende synergieen met andere kunstenaars, ontwerpers en architecten typeren zijn kleurrijke oeuvre, zo rijk aan diversiteit, speelsheid en spitsvondigheid. Zijn recente ontwerpen - onder meer voor Deltalight - ademen nog steeds dezelfde vrolijke frisheid uit als die waarmee hij zijn welgevulde ontwerperscarriere aanving. Nieuw boek.

Paris, Les Arts Decoratifs, 2010 Relie, couverture carton illustree, 160 x 215mm., 64pp., illustration profonde en couleurs. ISBN 9782916914206.
¶ Normal Studio est une jeune agence parisienne de creation industrielle, fondee en 2006 par Jean-Francois Dingjian (ne en 1966) et Eloi Chafai (ne en 1979). Ils se sont rencontres en 2000 a l'Ecole nationale superieure de creation industrielle (ENSCI) de Paris, ou l'un etait professeur et l'autre eleve. Un duo se forme et leur travail est rapidement remarque dans le milieu du design francais et international. Le studio vient notamment d'etre selectionne par Philippe Starck et le salon Maison et Objet pour figurer parmi les dix createurs de l'annee 2010. Ce livre propose une reflexion inedite autour du travail realise par les deux designers, qui se definissent eux-memes comme des ?« createurs de design normal ?». Refusant un design demonstratif et spectaculaire, Jean-Francois Dingjian et Eloi Chafai preferent un travail de la simplicite, de l'essentiel, avec un souci constant de l'utilite et de la lisibilite. Ils prennent pour base les possibilites techniques de production industrielle et (re)decouvrent des astuces, des cles de construction. Pliage, moulage, trempage, fraisage.. autant de procedes a partir desquels ils concoivent des oeuvres novatrices et ingenieuses, a l'image des lampes Diamond Boxes (2007), pour lesquelles de simples aimants permettent de placer et d'orienter le luminaire sur un rail de metal. Imaginant la collection ?« Surfaces ?» en 2009 pour la marque Tolix, ils creent des treteaux superposables et empilables, elabores a partir d'une simple feuille de metal decoupee et pliee. Pour l'elegante collection de meubles ?« Diamant ?», la technique qui structure la surface est directement inspiree de portes de garage en tole. Premier livre consacre au travail de l'agence, ce catalogue presente egalement dans le detail douze projets, chacun accompagne de photographies realisees specialement pour la publication et dont la mise en scene a ete pensee par les designers eux-memes. Edition bilingue. Nouveau.

French Flair. Modern vintage interiors.
Paris, Flammarion, 2012 Hardcover, 730pp., 24.5x19.5cm., ills. in col., new. ISBN 9782080200945.
¶ While modern design often neglects cultural and artistic heritage in favor of minimalism, Siraudeau demonstrates that it isn't necessary to forgo tradition to create a fashionable home. With his eye for idiosyncratic details, Siraudeau has an exceptional flair for finding homes characterized with vintage style, where antique objects invoke nostalgia and time-tested quality. French writer and musician Boris Vian declared, "Any object can be an objet d'art once put in a frame," and that innovative spirit shines through in the one hundred properties featured here. From 1960s mannequins to antique books to a salvaged Parisian streetlamp, any kind of paraphernalia can define and enrich the personality of a home by giving it a history. Styles and periods don't need to match because French design is about integrating the unexpected alongside unconventional details to make a modern home unique. The reader is guided through some of the most remarkable locations in France, each abounding with features that characterize the unique French flair for home decorating. From delightful rural guesthouses, exquisite townhomes, and charming seaside retreats to the best of France's antique shops, Siraudeau reveals how an extraordinarily diverse range of ambiences can be achieved by integrating the simplest of decorative touches. His ideas and advice are astute to contemporary comforts and the practicalities of modern living, and his exquisite photos, flooded with the soft light of a French summer, make this an invaluable volume for admirers of French style.
