THE ART OF THE ILLUSTRATED BOOK : 700 Years of History and Design
, Thames and Hudson , 2022 Hardcover, 288 pages, ENG, 300 x 235 mm, NEW, dustjacket, illustrations in colour and b/w. ISBN 9780500480694.
The story of the illustrated book from the earliest printed books to the present day, told through the collections of the V&A's National Art Library. Throughout history, images have been used to reflect the meaning of words and to enhance our understanding of texts. With the invention of mechanized printing in Germany in the 15th century, illustrated books were no longer the preserve of the elite and became a source of knowledge, instruction and pleasure for a wider audience. Traditional accounts of the illustrated book survey its history in terms of technological advances, from illumination to hand-drawn illustrations and photography. This study offers a new approach, grouping books by subject - from natural history and travel to art, architecture and fashion. Gathered here are some of the most influential and compelling examples of the illustrated book, all chosen from the collections of the National Art Library at the Victoria and Albert Museum, London. Each chapter starts with a general introduction to the subject, followed by key examples accompanied by narrative captions. The commentaries range beyond the illustrations to consider the whole book, the design, typeface, binding, inks and papers. Many of the books are not on display to the public and have been specially photographed for this volume. Most examples have been chosen for their significance, being innovative and beautiful. But humble books, often overlooked in histories, have also been selected, when particularly effective in their field, or simply memorable. From beautiful printed Psalters and Books of Hours, to striking natural history books such as Audubon's Birds of America, La Fontaine's Fables illustrated by Marc Chagall, Serlio's treatise on architecture and Owen Jones's Grammar of Ornament, this book gives a fascinating overview of some of the finest illustrated books ever created. In the face of recent pronouncements about the death of the printed book, this volume demonstrates the enduring appeal of the illustrated book.

Danish Furniture Design in the XXth Century - 2 volumes.
, Christian Eljers Forlag/Dansk Mobelkunst , 2007 Hardcover with dusjacket 2 volumes / slipcase; complet.223+ 327 pages, Illustrated. fine condition. ISBN 9787872412511.
Widely considered as the best assessment of modern Danish furniture available in English and are beautifully illustrated with historic photographs and new photographs of surviving pieces. Many of the photographs of some of the best pieces in museums and public buildings in Copenhagen appear to have been taken specifically for the book. Full-page photographs are set out facing reproductions of original presentation or technical drawings. Karlsen was an architect who worked with Mogens Koch, to whom the volumes are dedicated, and he approaches the subject through his hands-on experience as a furniture designer. The volumes provide a very readable and a very good broad chronological overview but what makes them invaluable is the addition of detailed and critical assessments of the most important and influential examples of chairs, tables and storage furniture produced through the century.

Art Nouveau: An art movement that manifested itself between 1890 and 1914. The term Art Nouveau is mainly used in Belgium and France, while in Austria and Germany Jugendstil is used. In Spain, on the other hand, the term modernism is used to make it easy for the style that broke through with us a few decades later. Common is the asymmetrical, the second style in all of art history to use this (the first is the rococo), and the use of animal and floral motifs. Art Nouveau was used everywhere, from architecture to furniture, from coffee services to jewellery.

The decorative arts are arts or crafts whose object is the design and manufacture of objects that are both beautiful and functional. It includes most of the arts making objects for the interiors of buildings, and interior design, but not usually architecture. Ceramic art, metalwork, furniture, jewellery, fashion, various forms of the textile arts and glassware are major groupings. Applied arts largely overlaps with decorative arts, and the modern making of applied art is usually called design. The decorative arts are often categorized in distinction to the "fine arts", namely painting, drawing, photography, and large-scale sculpture, which generally produce objects solely for their aesthetic quality and capacity to stimulate the intellect.

Interieurs van herrijzend Nederland 1940 : Binnenruimten van een opkomende welvaartsstaat
, Uitgeverij WBOOKS, 2019 Hardcover, 320 pag. NL, 284 x 226 x 29 mm, NIEUW, illustraties in kleur. ISBN 9789462582170.
In korte tijd wist Nederland te herstellen van de enorme oorlogsschade. Na een moeilijke start van schaarste kwamen er tussen 1945 en 1965 meer dan 2,5 miljoen nieuwe bouwwerken bij. De bijbehorende binnenruimten waren veelzijdig in vormgeving voor wonen en werken, leren en kerken, winkelen en ontspannen. Dankzij overheidssteun voor standaardisatie en mechanisatie werd snelle en massale productie mogelijk van gebouwen, meubels en materialen voor de aankleding van de interieurs. Goed Wonen werd een begrip. Intussen wordt het steeds moeilijker om nog volledig originele interieurs uit het midden van de twintigste eeuw te vinden. Deels door slijtage, deels door verandering in smaak en techniek, maar ook door onbekendheid en onderwaardering. Interieurs van herrijzend Nederland 1940-1965. Binnenruimten van een opkomende welvaartsstaat biedt een overzicht van de monumentale binnenhuiskunst tot de toevallig ontstane interieurs uit de wederopbouwperiode. Het boek bevat beknopte essays over de voornaamste ontwikkelingen, thematische hoofdstukken over kleur, materialen, comfort en techniek en honderden afbeeldingen.
Axel Enthoven
, Pandora , 2017 Hardback, 310x240mm, 248p, throughout colour illustrations, English edition . ISBN 9789053254264.
Deze designer is bij het grote publiek bekend van het VRT-programma De Bedenkers. Hij is de man achter het design van de Brusselse metro, verschillende bussen, de waterkranen van Sipwell,? Met andere woorden: iedereen komt bijna dagelijks met zijn ontwerpen in aanraking zonder het goed en wel te beseffen. De foto op de cover is trouwens van Vanfleteren. Designed by Axel Enthoven. Day after day he proves that elegance still exists today. He demonstrates that statements, sloganesque formulations, cutting corners, taking an obtuse attitude to people are not his thing. That kindness is not synonymous with weakness. That taking the time to think things through properly should not be exceptional. Taking responsibility regarding the impact of actions and words is not a rare occurrence. Striving after timelessness and sustainability are given a lasting interpretation. For him, combining aesthetics and functionality is a matter of course. Thanks to Axel Enthoven we are reminded that things can be different. And how important design is.
