Famous First Edition: First printing of 10,000 numbered copies From the adrenaline-filled 24 Hours of Le Mans to the legendary Goodwood Festival of Speed, Lake Como's famed Concorso d'Eleganza Villa d'Este to the premier Monterey Car Week, the collector car calendar and market has shown one of the most extraordinary growth trajectories of recent years. As thousands flock to specialized meet ups, rallies, auctions, and Concours d'Elegance around the globe, asking prices for the rarest motors have revved higher and higher. So much so, that the value of the 100 cars included in this book exceeds a staggering $ 1 billion. For the seasoned car collector or the awestruck newcomer, this double-volume is the unrivaled collector car anthology. Curating 100 of the most exquisite, remarkable, and desirable cars of all time to tell a spellbinding story of automotive design-and-engineering endeavor in the tireless pursuit of ever-greater performance both on and off the track, from the first Indy 500-winning 1910 Marmon Wasp to the futuristic 2020 Aston Martin Valkyrie. Laps ahead of any generic catalog, this superlative volume exudes authority and elegance, settling for nothing less than the very best of the best, and presenting each model with the lavish spreads it deserves, complete with stunning imagery taken by the world's leading car photographers alongside rare archival treasures, from original factory photos to famous motorsports event posters. Each entry is also accompanied by expert descriptive texts and specs, detailing each car's make, model, year, engine size, horsepower, top speed, transmission, and all-important production numbers. By passionately tapping into their transatlantic expertise and insider knowledge of car auctions, museums, and collections around the world, design authors Peter and Charlotte Fiell survey the autoworld's finest cars of all time. Their carefully curated selection spans the whole history of the automobile, taking in such rare models as a 1912 Stutz Model A Bearcat, as well as lesser-known jewels such as the astonishing 1937 Talbot-Lago T150-C SS Goutte d'Eau Coupe by Figoni et Falaschi. This definitive compendium includes a foreword from Rob Myers, the founder of RM Sotheby's, and includes an introduction from the authors that gives a unique perspective on the ins and outs of car collecting at the highest level. The main content is interspersed with interviews with Dr. Frederick Simeone, founder of the Simeone Foundation Automotive Museum; The Duke of Richmond and Gordon, founder of the Goodwood Festival of Speed and Goodwood Revival; Sandra Button, Chairman of the Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance; John Collins, leading dealer of historic Ferraris; and Shelby Myers, global head of Private Sales at RM Sotheby's, which offer key personal insights into the car-collecting world.

Les Scandinaves ont un don pour le design. Ils sont d’ailleurs connus dans le monde entier pour leur design démocratique inimitable qui abolit la frontière entre artisanat et production industrielle. L’alliance entre l’esthétisme des formes organiques et la fonctionnalité des objets du quotidien représente un des principaux points forts du design scandinave et explique en partie pourquoi ces créations sont autant appréciées que recherchées. Charlotte et Peter Fiell ont écrit de nombreux articles et ouvrages sur le design et les designers. Ce guide offre un panorama du design scandinave de 1900 à nos jours grâce à des rubriques consacrées à la présentation détaillée de designers et d’agences de design. Il analyse également les similitudes et les différences entre les designs norvégien, suédois, finlandais, islandais et danois.

Rooted in a firm socialist credo, Willy Van Der Meeren (1923?2002) championed an architecture for the masses?built logically, with as little material as possible, and endowed with the necessary elegance to make it through the day. Van Der Meeren did not preconceive architecture, nor did he postproduce it. He thought, acted, and built in the now, at a scale of 1:1. His architectures?almost without exception?are clear prototypes, awaiting mass production. For more than five decades, Van Der Meeren advocated the intrinsic merger of architecture and the building industry. However, his ideal for line-manufactured and affordable housing never saw the light of day. Perhaps Van der Meeren's democratic furniture collection, produced for TUBAX between 1943 and 1955 when he was emerging as an architect, best approximates his social dream. However, his furniture pieces?like his architecture?are now highly sought-after objects, eventuating in the exact opposite of his quest for a society that would be open to all. MASS wishes to celebrate Van der Meeren?s uncompromising architectural stance (a rarity), while critically scrutinizing the idea that architecture is unable, perhaps, to have an impact on a larger scale.
