Established in the early 1950s by a pioneer in both natural and cultured pearls, Tasaki is now Japan’s leading luxury jeweler; the brand’s first book documents over 70 years of innovation.

This book is a celebration of over half a century of jewelry design and savoir-faire, creating a book for Tasaki’s many fans as it introduces itself to a new and growing audience.

One of the venerable names in pearls and gemstones in Asia, Tasaki grew out of a humble family of pearl farmers and is now synonymous with Japanese luxury. 

Seventy years on, the company he founded is now one of the major producers of Akoya pearls in the world.

Forever innovating, Tasaki is now known for its fresh approach to high jewelry. Taking pride of place in the book are trademark settings, such as the sequence of pearls and diamonds balanced on a bar of precious metals that are applied to a range of accessories. From rings to luxury timepieces — often conceived in tandem with up-and-coming names in jewelry design—the brand’s creations are presented in exquisite detail. Along with Tasaki’s iconic pieces, such as the menacing “Danger” line, are one-off capsule collections by the Tasaki Atelier, including the delicate, feather-like diamond set-pieces executed for the Ritz Paris.

With the appointment of New York–based fashion designer Prabal Gurung as creative director, the brand has now expanded well beyond Asia and has opened flagships in Europe and North America, counting the likes of Bella Hadid as fans.

Pete Barry outlines simple but fundamental rules about how to 'push' an ad to turn it into something exceptional, while exercises throughout will help readers assess their own work and that of others. Fifty years' worth of international, award-winning ad campaigns - in the form of over 500 'roughs' specially produced by the author, many of which are new to this edition - also reinforces the book's core lesson: that a great idea will last forever.

Third edition.

Art is constantly evolving, inviting experimentation, and, in today’s digital age, uses artificial intelligence to create entirely new realities. Data as a tool of expression is used by artists as an equal partner to break new ground at eye-level, while at the same time redefining the concept of art to revolutionize the world of design. This volume focuses on the esthetics and creativity of a new generation of designers who are using algorithm-supported tools along the vertical, from graphic design to 3D animation, kinetic objects and real-time visuals, to robotics and spatial installations, as well as hybrid approaches between digital and analogue. For this compendium, the editor was able to involve the biggest names in the world of data-driven design to present their most important work on the basis of facts, aspects, and stories and to provide insights into their creative processes. These range from the vision via the underlying code and challenges in the implementation concept, to the finished work. On a theoretical level, the presented works are significantly enriched by interviews and texts of experts and insiders of the scene.

“The Age of Data“ shows the future of art and design in this day and age in which the whole world is under close scrutiny due to the pandemic. It is an invitation to take the next steps and a motivation to keep up with the ongoing data-based design developments.

“What a wide range of works, artists, perspectives, technics – a stunning sampler of the 21st century! “

Deftly crafted dissectable female wax models take centre-stage in this disquieting volume for fans of the macabre, the ghoulish and medical history

Beneath the original Venetian glass and rosewood case at La Specola in Florence lies Clemente Susini’s Anatomical Venus (c. 1790), a perfect object whose luxuriously bizarre existence challenges belief. It – or, better, she – was conceived as a means to teach human anatomy without the need for constant dissection, which was messy, ethically fraught and subject to quick decay. This life-sized wax woman is adorned with glass eyes and human hair and can be dismembered into dozens of parts revealing, at the final remove, a tranquil foetus curled in her womb. Sister models soon appeared throughout Europe, where they not only instructed the specialist students but also delighted the general public.

The Anatomical Venus is a celebration of these female wax models and reveals their evolution from wax effigy to fetish figure and the embodiment of the uncanny. Today, these images trouble the edges of our neat categorical divides between life and death, science and religion, body and soul, effigy and ecstasy, spectacle and education, kitsch and fine art. Skilfully written by a curator of the macabre, the beautiful and the spiritual, this is a meticulously illustrated survey of these anatomical odalisques and the cultural and artistic intersection they inhabit.

About the Author:

Joanna Ebenstein is an internationally recognised expert in the art of anatomy and creator of the Morbid Anatomy blog, library and event series. Her books include Death: A Graveside Companion and Anatomica.

The definitive book on the use of paint and colour in interior decoration from the 1660s to the 1960s

The definitive book on the use of colour and paint in interior decoration over a three-hundred-year period, The Anatomy of Colour is certain to appeal to both amateur and professional restorers, renovators, enthusiastic decorators and all those with an interest in interior decoration and design.

Drawing on his huge specialist archive, Patrick Baty traces the evolution of pigments and paint colours together with colour systems and standards, and examines their impact on the colour palettes used in interiors from the 1660s to the 1960s. He first charts the creation in paint of the common and expensive colours made from traditional earth pigments between 1650 to 1799. Next, he examines the emergence of colour systems and standards and their influence on paint colours together with the effect of industrialized production on the texture and durability of paints. Finally, Baty turns his attention to 20th-century colour standards, including those developed originally for the purpose of identifying flowers, such as the Répertoire de Couleurs des Fleurs, des Feuillages et des Fruits, each incarnation of the British Colour Standard cards, Walpamur paint swatch cards and Parson’s Tint Book of Historical Colours.

Throughout the book reproductions of interiors highlighting the distinctive colour trends and styles of painting particular to each period and room accompany the in-depth analysis of the history of colour and the development and use of paint colours in interior design.

About the Author:

Historian of architectural paint and colour Patrick Baty works as a consultant in the decoration of historic buildings and is proprietor of ‘Papers and Paints’ in London. He has been employed by Dulux and Little Greene to develop ranges of traditional paint colours for English Heritage, and he regularly lectures on the subject of paint and paint colour in 18th- and 19th-century interiors.

In this volume Jean-Charles Trebbi explores the traditional techniques of paper cutting that remain very much alive in the world today.

This book presents a selection of original artists who embody traditional, revised and comtemporary styles.
