‎Michael Borremans, Magnetics,‎

‎GE, Hatje Cantz , 2012 Paperback, 110x162mm, 60 pages, 16 colour illustrations, only English edition. Fine conditon ISBN 9783775735018.‎

‎Originally trained as a photographer and graphic designer, Belgian artist Michael Borremans (*1963 in Geraardsbergen) has made a name for himself with absurdly ominous and enigmatic works of art. This publication presents a unique selection of a dozen paintings in a revealing text and significant pictures. The artist's paintings are closely intertwined with his other drawings, and films. Borremans operates in an area bordered by all the various media. His scenarios are full of references and allusions that afford viewers a variety of possible interpretations while resisting being joined together to form a definitive whole. What are actually mutually exclusive elements, such as realism and fantasy, the ephemeral and the manifest, irony and confusion, are closely interwoven in his visual worlds, and there is only a fine line between a recognizable, everyday reality and a bizarre dream world.‎

‎Octopus 2003 In-4, cartonnage illustré, photographies pleines pages en couleurs, 160 pp.‎

‎Photographies par Andrew Wood. Aujourd'hui, l'esthétique asiatique, qui puise ses sources au Japon, à Bali, en Thaïlande ou à Ceylan, est très appréciée en Occident. De grands stylistes de réputation internationale comme John Pawson, Christian Laigre et Anouska Hempel ont choisi de s'en inspirer pour créer des intérieurs harmonieux misant sur les matières naturelles, Déco Zen apporte une touche inédite aux jardins et aux intérieurs contemporains.Cet ouvrage révèle admirablement la beauté des matériaux et du design, ainsi que les dimensions culturelles et spirituelles qui caractérisent la pensée asiatique. En symbiose avec les actuelles tendances minimalistes, les intérieurs reflètent une philosophie du dépouillement, servie par le bois, la céramique, les fibres naturelles, la pierre et l'eau.

‎BOREK SIPEK GLAS DESIGN ARCHITECTUUR,‎

‎Zwolle, Waanders/ Drents Museum, 2006 Gebonden, geillustreerde foto-kartonomslag, 170 x 245mm., 160pp., uitgebreide kleurillustratie. ISBN 9040081921.‎

‎De Tsjech Borek Sipek (Praag, 1949) is een wereldberoemde architect die vooral naam heeft gemaakt als ontwerper van glasobjecten en meubels. Na een aantal jaren in Amsterdam werkzaam te zijn geweest, woont en werkt Sipek tegenwoordig weer in Praag. Het hoogtepunt van zijn carriere vormen ongetwijfeld zijn werkzaamheden aan het Kasteel in Praag. Deze pretentieuze opdracht die hem tot 'hofarchitect' maakte, kreeg hij van Vaclav Havel, president van Tsjechie tussen 1993 en 2003. Op het gebied van de vormgeving vallen vooral zijn kleurige, barokke glasobjecten in het oog die de functie van het drinkglas een andere inhoud hebben weten te geven. Dit geldt ook voor zijn meubelontwerpen die verrassen door hun onorthodoxe verschijningsvorm en het meubel een haast menselijk karakter verlenen. In deze publicatie wordt het werk van een van de meest veelzijdige architect-ontwerpers van onze tijd voor het voetlicht gebracht. Nieuw boek. ‎

His talent lies in the way of combining creativity on paper and simulation in 3D with a subtle approach in practice.‎

‎THE LITTLE BOOK OF CHANEL BY LAGERFELD ‎

‎, Welbeck, 2022 Hardcover , ENG, 185 x 130 mm, NEW, illustrated in colour. ISBN 9781802790160.‎

‎The House of Chanel is synonymous with not one, but two, iconic designers. First there was Gabrielle, and then there was Karl. Chanel is a house known for its signatures that not only changed the course of fashion history but still resonate today - the Little Black Dress, the tweed suit, costume jewellery, Chanel No5. These signatures were inspired by Gabrielle Chanel's taste, life experience and travels - but it was Karl Lagerfeld who took these signatures and ingeniously adapted them for the twenty-first century woman. From his first days at the helm of Chanel in the 1980s, to his creative application of the Chanel logo to everything from biker boots to a space rocket, King Karl's reign at Chanel is nothing if not legendary. Little Book of Chanel by Lagerfeld covers his most exquisite pieces, breathtaking catwalk shows and constant reinvention that have maintained Chanel as the most illustrious couture house in the world. Written by the bestselling author of Little Book of Chanel, this beautifully illustrated book is the essential guide to Lagerfeld's tenure at Chanel.‎

‎Feast in the House of Simon : Veronese : History and Restoration of a Masterpiece‎

‎, Alain de Gourcuff, 1998 Hardcover, 172 pages, ENG, 245 x 215 x 18 mm, in very good condition, illustrated in colour /b/w. ISBN 9782909838267.‎

‎Painted for the refectory of the convent of Santa Maria dei Servi in 1570-3, The Feast in the House of Simon was presented to Louis XIV by the Most Serene Republic of Venice in 1664, as a token of friendship between the two states. But it was not until 1730, during the reign of Louis XV, that this great masterpiece was to find a setting worthy of it in the Salon d'Hercule at Versailles, for which Francois Le Moyne painted a ceiling decoration a l'italienne, unique in France, using a light, luminous and sensual palette in an explicit tribute to Venetian painting.Despite a major restoration in 1948 and two later superficial cleanings, the painting was obscured, notably by thick varnishes, and required a radical intervention. This process, started in 1994 and finished this year, was carried out by the Service de restauration des musees de France with the scientific assistance of the Laboratoire de recherche. Seventeen experts have contributed essays documenting the "resurrection" of this masterpiece by Veronese.‎

‎mobile Impero in Italia. Arredi e decorazioni d'interni dal 1800 al 1843‎

‎, Electa, 1998 Hardcover with dusjacket, SLIPCASE, 440 pages, colour illustrations, 25x28cm. . ISBN 9788843557660.‎

‎L'originale metodologia utilizzata nello studio delle arti decorative e la novit dei materiali impiegati, fanno di questo volume un fondamentale punto d'arrivo nella conoscenza di uno dei pi importanti periodi della storia del mobile italiano. Questa pubblicazione, la prima di una serie dedicata agli stili dei mobili, intende illustrare quella particolare e del tutto originale declinazione che lo stile Impero ebbe in Italia nel periodo del governo francese della restaurazione, fin verso il 1840 quando cio esso venne progressivamente messo in ombra dalle pi accattivanti mode ispirate dai revival storicisti. Il volume, dopo una approfondita introduzione, impostato per schede corredate di numerosi confronti illustrativi, riguardanti la produzione delle arti decorative nelle numerose aree geografiche in cui allora la penisola italiana era divisa: i regni di Napoli e Sicilia, Roma, il granducato di Toscana, il ducato di Lucca, il regno Lombardo Veneto, le legazioni Pontificie e i ducati di Parma e Modena, il regno di Sardegna. Il risultato un utilissimo strumento di lavoro per gli studiosi e di approfondita conoscenza per gli amatori, anche grazie al ricco apparato illustrativo. ********************************The original methodology used in the study of the decorative arts and the novelty of the materials used make this volume a fundamental point of arrival in the knowledge of one of the most important periods in the history of Italian furniture. This publication, the first in a series devoted to furniture styles, aims to illustrate that particular and wholly original declination that the Empire style had in Italy during the period of the French government of the Restoration, until around 1840 when, that is, it was gradually overshadowed by the more appealing fashions inspired by historicist revivals. The volume, after a thorough introduction, is set out by tabs accompanied by numerous illustrative comparisons, concerning the production of the decorative arts in the many geographical areas into which the Italian peninsula was then divided: the kingdoms of Naples and Sicily, Rome, the Grand Duchy of Tuscany, the Duchy of Lucca, the Lombardo Veneto kingdom, the Papal legations and the Duchies of Parma and Modena, and the Kingdom of Sardinia. The result is a very useful working tool for scholars and in-depth knowledge for amateurs, also thanks to the rich illustrative apparatus.‎
