The catalogues of the Paris Salons at the turn of the 19th to the 20th century provide a unique archive of illustrations of the decorative arts at a pivotal time in their development, the five previous volumes covering Jewellery, Furniture, Ceramics and Glass, and Objets d'Art.

The fabric designers of the Art Nouveau style who exhibited at the Paris Salons produced a remarkable oeuvre in printed and woven fabric, silk, lace, embroidery and tapestry.

Bookbinding was, and still is, a well-established French tradition, and bibliophiles commissioned unique bindings from artist-designers who, at the same time, were also creating and exhibiting non-bound leather goods - handbags, blotters, upholstery.

This volume is probably the most important in the series. Because of wear and tear, practically none of the approximate 1,200 textile and leatherware pieces illustrated have survived outside museum collections or appeared at auction, unlike the items covered by the earlier volumes.

A magnificent survey of the staircase in all its forms with dazzling photographs, many specially taken for this book

This extraordinary book showcases the astonishing diversity of staircases over the centuries, from the stepped pyramids of the Maya to exquisitely proportioned Renaissance stairs, to the elaborate balustraded confections of the Baroque period and the computer-aided designs of today.

Here are Michelangelo’s double stair at the Palazzo dei Senatori on the Capitoline Hill in Rome; the double-spiral stair at Château de Chambord in the Loire; the entrance stair in the Hermitage in St Petersburg; the radical spiral ramp of Frank Lloyd Wright’s Guggenheim Museum; and the exterior stair at the Pompidou Centre in Paris.

The authors also explore the magical and symbolic meanings of the staircase. Powerful emblems of technological and artistic achievement, these staircases are inherently dynamic – as is every page of this fascinating and beautifully illustrated book.

_________

The essential purpose of a staircase is utilitarian: to facilitate ascent and descent. Yet the design of even the simplest stair is complex, requiring great knowledge, skill and ingenuity.

This volume showcases the astonishing diversity of staircases over the centuries, from the stepped pyramids of the Maya to the exquisitely proportioned stairs of the Renaissance, to the elaborate balustraded confections of the Baroque period, to the virtuosic, computer-aided designs of today. A superb range of photographs, many specially taken for this publication, illustrates clear and accessible written surveys by specialist architectural historians. From Renaissance masterpieces, the sweeping curves of Art Nouveau, the functional beauty of the Bauhaus, to high-tech contemporary dream creations, the staircase is a powerful emblem of technological and artistic achievement. Architectural tours de force all, often charged with religious, mystical and hierarchical meaning, these staircases are inherently dynamic, as is every page of this fascinating and beautifully illustrated book.

Chrissie Rucker & The White Company
ID: 15325
Издательство: Mitchell Beazley

From the author of the home decorating bestseller, For the Love of White, comes an inspirational and informative guide to creating a welcoming home through the seasons using a white and neutral palette.

'I love a home to feel warm, inviting, personal and lived-in - and mastering how to decorate with white and neutrals is a wonderful way to achieve this.' - Chrissie Rucker

In her much-anticipated second book, The Art Of Living With White, Chrissie Rucker, Founder of The White Company, explores 10 inspirational homes that illustrate beautifully different ways to use white and neutrals through the seasons. The homes vary in size, style and location - from a minimalist city pied-à-terre to a New England-style country house - but what unites them all is the welcoming, stylish and calm feel that their owners have each created.

The homes are grouped into the four seasons and each chapter ends with a summary of seasonal rituals that will work in any home. A concluding chapter - Inspiration & Resources - considers finding your own style, how to create a good balance between work and home in interior spaces, the art of simple entertaining and the importance of scent and touch in a truly comfortable home.

About the Authors:

Chrissie Rucker is the Founder and Owner of The White Company. Her story began in 1994, when she was unable to find beautifully designed, great quality white home essentials that were also affordable.
What started as a 12-page mail-order company has become one of the UK's most loved brands with more than 60 stores across Europe and the US.

Today The White Company has evolved enormously and become a complete lifestyle brand, offering a wide range of essential home accessories that really make a house a home. From beautiful linens, towels and china to a wider range of scented bath and home treats and a children's range, The Little White Company, it has also introduced an exciting range of clothing, loungewear and nightwear as well as furniture, lighting and rugs.

Chrissie grew up in Kent and left school at 16 to study couture design in London. Her working life began aged 18 working for magazines including Harpers & Queen, Brides, GQ and Vogue. She also held a PR role at Clarins.
Renowned for her meticulous attention to detail when creating products, Chrissie's desire is to constantly improve as well as delight the customer. She and The White Company have received many awards including an MBE and OBE for services to retail, The Sunday Times Profit Track 100 Best Brand Award, Private Business Woman of The Year at The Private Business Awards 2012 sponsored by PWC in association with HSBC and the ECMOD Best Customer Service Award.

As we recognize the necessity of creating more sustainable and humane cities, Jackie Brookner’s most recent work, Urban Rain: Stormwater as Resource, points the way. How do we learn to not just see what we have chosen to ignore and consigned to waste, but to actually celebrate and utilize it? As Patricia Phillips says in her informative essay, “The artist uses stormwater as both a raw material to exploit and the problem to solve producing a fascinating feedback loop of aesthetic decisions and ecological imperatives.”

Commissioned by the City of San Jose, California to work at the Roosevelt Community Center, a new LEED gold building, Brookner created two installations that collect and filter rainwater shed from the roof of the building. Beyond their elegant functionality, these works provoke questions about where the body begins and ends, about our human dependence on natural systems, and about what the being of human can mean today. This publication documents Brookner’s process from concept drawings through installation and includes provocative essays by noted art critic Patricia Phillips and hydrologist Franco Montalto.

Luxurious homes featuring woodblock printed panoramic wallpapers from the premier French manufacturer Zuber & Cie.

According to France Today, the company still uses the same antique woodblocks, the same paint formulas, and the same time-honored processes to create its stunning wallpapers as it did in Jean Zuber's time.

Dealing with color is a complex subject: influenced by standards, fashions, and trends, we derive our ideas and concepts from color theories, intuition, and personal preferences. The color swatches and systems for describing color common today are based on purely quantitative principles and include well over 1,500 colors. So how do we choose a particular color?

More than ten years ago, the color chemist Katrin Trautwein established a pigment factory, starting out from Le Corbusier’s color palette. She now has more than 900 recipes for paint from which she has proposed – based on her work with architects, designers, and historical preservationists – a selection of 128 colors that produce pleasant results on their own and also combine well. Each color is presented with a sample; their potential uses and significance are also discussed.

Katrin Trautwein has lectured throughout the world on how to approach colors, given seminars, given expert opinions, advised architects, taught painters, and worked as a restorer.
