Сборники работ о дизайне

In the history of the decorative arts, there has never been another designer who has achieved such lasting impact. While lamenting the excesses of mass-production, he set up the firm of Morris, Marshall, Faulkner and Company. Soon it was producing a range of goods, from hand-woven tapestries, carpets and printed textiles to stained glass, metalwork and furniture. What the company offered was quite simply a way of life. 

In 'William Morris and the Arts & Crafts Home', Pamela Todd celebrates Morris’s genius for decoration and design and shows how he envisaged and implemented schemes for interiors in his own homes and those of others, passionately believing that beautiful surroundings promoted creativity and happiness. 

To demonstrate how the style can be applied to our living spaces today a series of ‘Case Studies’ explores six contemporary homes – from a modern London townhouse to a traditional Arts and Crafts house in Massachusetts – that have followed and adapted Morris’s guiding principles.

Internationally acclaimed for his compelling work in glass, William Morris approaches the demands of glassblowing and glass sculpting with an experimental eye and an innovative hand. Morris, who lives and works near Seattle, has collaborated with master glass blowers as well as renowned painters and sculptors in making art that is widely admired by artists, sought by collectors, and praised by critics. For him, glass is an endlessly intriguing material-fragile yet timeless, preserving the spontaneity of the creative moment unlike any other medium. In this strikingly handsome volume of recent work, Morris explores themes related to archaeology, animals, and the hunt. His Crows, Ravens, and Rhytons embody his intellectual interest in myth and ancient history, as well as his keenly intuitive understanding of the natural world.

An insightful look at the work, mindset, and methodology of the global branding and design agency headed by Monocle founder Tyler Brûlé. 

Winkreative is the global design, brand identity, and consulting agency of Tyler Brûlé, the founder of Wallpaper* magazine and Monocle. 

Winkreative Design Stories is a journey through the history of this agency, which in only a short time has established itself as one of the most sought-after addresses for corporate design and branding in the world. Highlighting a selection of projects from relaunching national carrier Swiss International Air Lines to rebranding Thailand as a magnet for international business, the book spans several continents and an impressive roster of premium clients. 

Divided into the core themes of Charm, Craft, Intelligence, Clarity, and Storytelling, each chapter of the book showcases a set of projects sharing that characteristic, alongside short, conversational pieces, which offer insight into the thinking and skill behind Winkreative s huge diversity of work, revealing the culture of the agency itself. Still, life photography displays Winkreative s unique perspective and distinctive aesthetic sensibility, while comic illustrations and reportage shoots inject a sense of playfulness and bring Winkreative s history and people to life. 

Winkreative Design Stories is a warm, understated reference book produced with outstanding production quality. Because there have been few published documentations of the agency s work in the past, this design treatise provides a unique perspective at the intersection of craft and commerce for design influencers and creatives, and business figures and policymakers alike. Winkreative is distinguished by its international focus, editorial authority, and unique, interdisciplinary approach to branding. 

With 50 multilingual staff, it serves more than 40 clients in 15-plus countries, all of which are united by premium positions in their respective markets. Founded by Tyler Brûlé in 1998, Winkreative continues to evolve as a unique, multidisciplinary global agency, focused on translating real-world business plans into creative brand expressions. Clients: BlackBerry, The Calvert Foundation, Case da Abitare, Lexus, Louis Vuitton, Mackintosh, Mini, Porter Airlines, Swiss International Air Lines, Taiwan Tourism Bureau, The Government of Thailand, Wimbledon, and many more.

The Asian countries seek to dominate global markets not only in the area of science, technology and management, but also in the area of design, which is playing an increasingly crucial role in their strategic economic plans. One of their clear trends is the conscious use of traditional themes in combination with contemporary styles. Whether kimonos or packiging, Shinto shrines or computer designs, the viewer is stimulated by a wealth of inspiring visual stimuli. This book presents an overview of the current trends of the young Asian - Pacific design scene. Though the featured works, ideas and products vary very much from each other, they exemplify one thing for sure: The initiated dialogue between cultures and across national borders is increasingly gaining in importance.
