Introducing techniques for making pop-ups from one sheet of card, the third title in this series on paper engineering takes folding techniques into the third dimension.

Each chapter introduces a new technical idea and shows how that technique can be adapted in many different ways, or combined with techniques from earlier chapters.

With their emphasis on surface design over complex cutting, the pop-ups have an instant appeal for designers.

Not just a design object, but also the symbol of a particularly Danish way of life.

Lamp design is a field that continues to attract great attention, from both designers and design aficionados. With Poul Henningsen’s iconic PH-lamp as its point of departure the book tells the stories behind 100 Danish lamp designs through text and images, and introduces the reader to the inventions that enabled the first revolutionizing light sources.

Lighting is a key element in ‘hygge’ – the Danish definition of a warm and cosy ambience. Although hard-core functionalists like Henningsen called for form to follow function, real-life factors required them to compromise, and this came to define Danish lamp design: hygge is a crucial quality that had to be included in the design. Thus, the purpose of the modern Danish lamp was– and is – not only to provide light but also to act as a decorative element and to spread a cosy ambience.

A collection of dark and fetish art of more than 40 contemporary artists from all over the world such as Zdzislaw Beksi ski, Nicoletta Ceccoli, Ray Caesar, James Jean, John Santerineross, Popovy Sisters, and Elizabeth Mcgrath.

Gothic taste, decadence, doll-like and Lolita-esque style - the world of Aestheticism and degeneration - is supported by a wide range of people regardless of their age and gender.

Wanting to expose this fantastical art not only to fans who already have a deep appreciation for that world but also to a broader general audience, PIE International has published Japanese Erotica in Contemporary Art in September 2014 and Erotica in Japanese Contemporary Art. Vol. 2 in March of 2016.

As these books were well received in the market, we now have this third volume Dark & Fetish Art.

With these two volumes, we focused on Japanese artists, but in this third book featured are the artists from around the world.

This book is divided into categories such as Fetish Art, Dark Art, Art Photography, and 3-Dimensional Art.

Although it is human nature to tiptoe around the uncomfortable, some artists are inspired by the unsettling to create intriguing works of art that push the boundaries of normality and provoke viewers into exploring their fears and taboos. There are also others who use them as springboards of the imagination to express their innermost feelings and question the often-grim realities of existence. In conjunction with Victionary’s 20th anniversary, the new edition of Dark Inspiration combines most of the projects from the first two best-selling titles of the same name along with new work into one meaty celebration of the macabre. Featuring chilling depictions of childhood reveries, folklore, mysteries, and death in a variety of styles and interpretations, each project serves unconventionally as a celebration of life in all its gruesome.

There is something morbidly fascinating about the dark and grotesque. Although it is human nature to tiptoe around the uncomfortable (or avoid it altogether), some artists are inspired by the unsettling to create intriguing works of art that push the boundaries of normality and provoke viewers into exploring their fears and taboos. There are also others who use them as springboards of the imagination to express their innermost feelings and question the often-grim realities of existence.
