‎Victorian designs for the home.‎

‎London, V and A Publications, 1999 Softcover, 144pp., 21x27cm., ills. in col. and b/w., as new. ISBN 9781851772896.‎

‎A survey of Victorian style and design, covering key movements and featuring seminal work by key designers - from Morris and de Morgan to Voysey and Mackintosh. The Victorian period (from 1837 to 1901) produced a wealth of innovative design. It was characterised by diversity and conflicting desires for tradition and progress which gave rise to a rich variety of styles such as revivals of Gothic and Rococo, a new fascination with the East in Japonisme and the appearance of Art Nouveau and the Arts and Crafts Movement. Elaborate designs for furniture by Pugin and Burges, or ceramics and silver by Mackintosh and Knox, are seen alongside actual pieces as they were eventually created, while a range of room designs reflect changing tastes in form and colour and different lifestyles.‎

‎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.‎

‎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.‎

‎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.‎

‎WEGNER just one good chair / Hans J. Wegner Just One Good Chair.‎

‎, Hatje Cantz, 2014 Hardback, , 280p, English edition, Fine copy. Including an index. Illustrated. ISBN 9783775738095.‎

‎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.‎
