SERRURIER-BOVY. A VISIONARY DESIGNER 1858 - 1910,
Dijon, Faton, 2008 Bound, red cloth, illustrated dustjacket, 230 x 305mm., pres de 500 illustrations en couleurs. ISBN 9782878441109.
'Believe in the future and work for it'? The oeuvre of Gustave Serrurier, more than fifty years before Le Corbusier and Charlotte Perriand, blazed the trail to contemporary design. Gustave Serrurier, known as Serrurier-Bovy, was born in Liege in 1858 and died in the same city in 1910. He was one of most original figures in the Belgian avant-garde and the international art revival which characterised the decorative arts and architecture in the late nineteenth and early twentieth century. Initially destined for architecture, he switched to the design and manufacture of furniture and decors, taking over the home decoration store run by his wife, Marie Bovy. He shook free of Art Nouveau aesthetics and the return to craftsmanship advocated by the Arts and Crafts movement to design furniture for the masses with a rational aesthetic, stripped of all superfluous ornament, which heralded the modern home. This richly illustrated book is the fruit of fifteen years of research by the owners of the Chateau of La Cheyrelle, remodelled by Gustave Serrurier. It traces the life of the architect-designer and looks at all the facets of his oeuvre from his avant-garde thinking to his main furniture and architectural designs. A detailed analysis of his production unravels its complexity and restores Gustave Serrurier to his rightful place as a visionary designer at the dawn of the twentieth century. New book.

Eames Primer : Revised Edition
, Rizzoli 2013, 2013 Softcover, 288 pages, English, 210 x 165 mm, fine copy, illustrated in colour and b/w, . ISBN 9780847839445.
Those who know one or two aspects of the Eameses' work are often surprised to learn just how far and vast their range extended. Yet, throughout their myriad works, from architecture and furniture to exhibition design and filmmaking, their core philosophy prevails. An Eames Primer is the first book to illuminate this seamless connection. Author Eames Demetrios explores the rich energy of the Eameses' world from a unique perspective, informed by his close relationship with Charles and Ray. He shares personal anecdotes, previously unpublished photos, and his extensive interviews with former friends and colleagues of the Eameses to make connections between the Eameses' influential philosophy and their widely admired work. For those unacquainted with the designers, the stories behind the design process will inform, entertain, and inspire, while readers with an extensive knowledge of the Eameses' work gain a deeper level of understanding their process.

Eddie Zaratsian. Custom Florals and Lifestyle.
, Stichting Kunstboek, Hardcover, 144 p., 100 illustraties, Engels, Fine copy. Including an index. ISBN 9789058564399.
Bloemschikker Eddie Zaratsian bouwde een smetteloze reputatie op aan het hoofd van zijn shop Tic-Toc Couture Florals. Met de lancering van zijn nieuwe merk Eddie Zaratsian, Custom Florals and Lifestyle wil hij nog een stapje verder gaan. Niet langer een bloemenboetiek zijn, maar een heus design house, met de kennis en expertise in huis om de styling van gelijk welk project van start tot finish tot een goed einde te brengen. Zaratsian is ambitieus, het gewone tot een buitengewoon niveau brengen is zijn doel. En dat hij daarin slaagt, bewijst de trouwe schaar aan celebrities en modehuizen die Zaratsian tot zijn vaste clienteel mag rekenen. Ook de reclame-en entertainmentindustrie doen steeds vaker beroep op zijn kunde. Zijn verfijnde esthetiek en vernieuwende visie resulteren in ontwerpen en florale installaties die natuurlijk, architectonisch en gesofisticeerd zijn. Deze eerste monografie, de designer?s persoonlijke portfolio en een dwarsdoorsnede van zijn floraal universum, staan niks dan meesterwerken waarmee de persoonlijkheid en het veelzijdige talent van de ontwerper onderstreept worden.

Michael Borremans, Magnetics,
GE, Hatje Cantz , 2012 Paperback, 110x162mm, 60p, 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.

Koen van den Broek. Insomnia and the Greenhouse,
GE, Hatje Cantz , 2012 Hardback, 245x305mm, 100p, 44 colour illustrations, English edition . ISBN 9783775734783.
The paintings of Koen van den Broek (*1973 in Bree) draw attention with their genuine, unique perspectives and range of perceptual possibilities. The artist wanders the surface of the world, finding visual inspiration on the peripheries of the city, on insignificant facades, empty highways, closed garages, lofty viaduct pillars, and desolate curbsides. Using his own photographic diaries of trips throughout America, Asia, and Europe as source material, van den Broek turns layered visual experience into compelling oil paintings on canvas. The compositions are vaguely familiar, but brushstroke and paint texture re-create, re-imagine and invent new realities. This publication presents the conflation of two exemplary projects: a monumentally-scaled series of paintings from the Insomnia cycle, painted in Antwerp, and a smaller, intimately nuanced group of paintings of the Greenhouse, created by the artist during a residency in the Williamsburg neighborhood of Brooklyn. Exhibition schedule: Friedman Benda, New York, starting 2013 | other stations TBA.

Déco Zen
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.

Kaleidoscope Living in Color and Patterns.
, Gestalten 2016, Hardcover, English. 288 pages, 24 x 30 cm. 1,9 kg. fine condition. ISBN 9783899556445.
Interiors can be loud again. More and more people are turning to high-contrast spaces with brilliant wall colors and patterned sofas. Our rooms can look how we feel. Leaving unifying trends behind, today s cutting-edge interior design focuses on creating personal concepts customized to individual inhabitants. Unique pieces and eccentric combinations are both used to set the scene in eye-catching ways. Kaleidoscope is a showcase of surprisingly different residences that range from the beautiful to the bizarre. While some of the featured examples are reminiscent of time capsules and others of film sets, all of them defy categorization. The book offers inspiration for anyone bold enough to re-imagine interior design in any way they can think of.
