About the Editor:

Johannes Erler is one of Germany’s top designers. Previously with Factor Design and today with ErlerSkibbeTönsmann, he has shaped the corporate identities of some of the country’s leading brands.

This beautiful book presents the extraordinary work of the iconic American "outsider" artist in a new critical light, locating him as a major figure in the history of contemporary art.

Self-taught and working in isolation until his death in 1973, Henry Darger realized an elaborate fantasy world of remarkable beauty and strangeness through hundreds of paintings and an epic written narrative. Angel-like Blengins with butterfly wings, natural catastrophes, innocent girls, and murderous soldiers all appear in Darger's scenes, which are reproduced in this book in double-page and gatefold illustrations.

In the volume's introductory essay, Klaus Biesenbach examines the radical originality of Darger's art, including his use of collage, incorporation of religious themes and iconography, and frequent juxtaposition of innocence with violence. An essay by Brooke Davis Anderson illuminates Darger's source materials and techniques, while another by Michael Bonesteel puts Darger's life in the context of his work.

The book also includes Darger's autobiography, “A History of My Life," introduced by Carl Watson. The only book of its kind, Henry Darger offers an authoritative, balanced, and insightful look at an American master.

Klaus Biesenbach is Director of the Museum of Contemporary Art in Los Angeles.

Gorgeous paper constructions expand on Hermès’ scarf designs in this luxury pop-up book.

Every year, the iconic luxury brand Hermès chooses a new theme to celebrate its creative direction for the upcoming year.

A fun take on the Rorschach Inkblot Test – a book packed full of blots you can transform into whatever you like!

Draw funny dogs and get into a sunny mood
Draw comical cats and give your day a boost
If you feel like fun and have a pen
It’s time to follow your imagination!

Hirameki – ‘brainwave’ or ‘flash of inspiration' in Japanese – is where doodling and imagination come together. Simply put, it’s the art of turning a random blot into something amazing, just by adding a few dots and lines. If it’s true that you can find happiness in little things, this book should keep your eyes, hand and brain entertained for hours.

Surveying applied arts and industrial design from the 18th century to the present day, this book explores the dynamic relationship between design and manufacturing, and the technological, social and commercial context in which this relationship developed. The effects of a vastly enlarged audience for the products of modern design and the complex dynamic of mass consumption are also discussed. Part of this dynamic reveals that products serve as signs for desires that have little to do with need or function.

The book also explores the impact of a wealth of new man-made industrial materials and tools on the course of modern design - from steel to titanium, plywood to plastic, cotton to nylon, wire to transistors, and microprocessors to nanotubes. The research, development and applications of these technologies are shown as depending upon far-reaching lines of communication stretching across geographical and linguistic boundaries.

Extensively revised and expanded for this second edition, History of Modern Design is an inclusive, well-balanced introduction to a field of increasing scholarly and interdisciplinary research, and provides students in design with historical perspectives of their chosen fields of study.

A tweed suit, pipe, umbrella, and hat; a large dose of British humor and no sports — well, except for cricket. The Chap is the modern English gentleman, and he’s out to conquer the world.

How to be Chap explores the roots of the English gentleman and follows them to the present day. Today’s chaps live according to their own rules — with hats, pipes, and, of course, British humor. Inspired by men such as Beau Brummell and Lord Byron, they maintain proper English ideals and virtues. By stepping back to tradition, they’re advancing a lifestyle revolution.

In this book, chap expert Gustav Temple explains how a chap dresses, where he goes on vacation, which sports he plays (cricket) and which ones he doesn’t (everything else). From the historical foundations of British gentlemen’s culture to today’s dos and don’ts, How to be Chap provides thorough answers to chap-related questions and plenty of cultivated laughs.

Style authority Gustav Temple co-founded the British magazine The Chap in 1999. This publication is dedicated to rescuing the English gentleman from extinction and consequently saving our world from moral and sartorial collapse.
