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. 

Now available in paperback, Pamela Todd’s book celebrates William Morris’s genius, presenting a thorough overview of his life and career, while setting out his guiding principles so that a modern audience can recreate the Arts & Crafts style in their own homes.

A series of case studies explores six contemporary houses – from a modern London townhouse to a traditional Arts & Crafts home in Massachusetts – that have followed and adapted Morris’s dicta, brilliantly demonstrating how the style can be applied to our environment today.

The book concludes with a comprehensive style-sourcing section, as well as a gazetteer of places to visit for inspiration.

40 beautiful designs by one of Victorian era's most influential designers. Modestly priced, royalty-free collection of richly detailed patterns, faithfully reproduced from rare 1890s publication. Superb designs for wallpapers, chintzes, velveteens, tapestries, tiles, carpets, more.

Revised edition of the bestselling backlist title. William Morris was an outstanding character of many talents, being an architect, writer, social campaigner, artist and, with his Kelmscott Press, an important figure of the Arts and Crafts movement. Many of us probably know him best, however, from his superb furnishings and textile designs, intricately weaving together natural motifs in a highly stylized two-dimensional fashion influenced by medieval conventions.

Following on from the bestselling success of Art Nouveau, Art Deco and Mucha, of the same series, this delightful new book offers a survey of his life and work alongside some of his finest decorative work. A richly beautiful book.

Follow rising star designer Summer Thornton down the rabbit hole into a wonderland of color and pattern in her very first book of interiors. 

Interior decorator Summer Thornton believes in designing with the wildest abandon: her world is one of nickel tubs, marble fireplaces, whimsical textiles, surprising patterns, and secret gardens. Often described as maximalist with a modern, fresh sensibility, Thornton manages to achieve highly polished, sophisticated interiors that indulge in a lighthearted, almost irreverent sense of whimsy. In her first book, she will inspire readers to follow their creative impulses and make their own rules.

Let yourself be transported with the dreamy, fantastical homes arranged by theme in Wonderland. “Fearless Romantic” features Thornton’s own gorgeous city house. “In Here Comes the Sun,” peek into an over-the-top tropical vacation home that’s centered on citrus. Look for her to misbehave a bit in “Good to be Bad.” If refinement is more your cup of tea, the polished settings in “The New Formal” are fit for a queen. Plus take a deep dive into the most colorful technicolor homes she’s ever designed in “Super Saturated.”

With outstanding photography from A-list photographers including Thomas Loof, Bjorn Wallander, Annie Schlechter, and Melanie Acevedo, and styling by AD contributor Mieke ten Have, Wonderland is a celebration of personal expression and fearless escapism.

About the Author:

Summer Thornton has been featured in many prestigious publications, including Architectural Digest, Veranda, Elle Décor, and the Wall Street Journal. Most recently she was named to the 1stDibs 50 list and to the Sotheby’s list of the top 20 Designers to Watch. Headquartered in Chicago, her firm works on projects nationwide.

Masamichi Katayama Wonderwall studio combines a truly Asian approach to retail with a global outlook that has resulted in worldwide success and influence.

Wonderwall Case Studies is the first comprehensive exploration of the work, process, and mind-set of the Japanese interior designer Masamichi Katayama, founder and principal of Wonderwall, one of the most influential interior design firms in the world. The timely release of this compendium not only celebrates Katayama’s prolific and profound body of work, but honors the designer’s 50th birthday.

Wonderwall’s East meets West approach to retail design has produced integral successes like UNIQLO, the Diesel flagship store, and the futuristic innards of Intersect by Lexus. Highlighting eleven milestone projects in the firm’s fifteen-year history, the book presents rich documentation of a portfolio brimming with international projects, exciting collaborations, and an impressive list of clientele. Visual essays showcase the Wonderwall working culture. An in-depth profile, written by the M+ design curator Aric Chen, provides insight into Katayama’s early years, education, key influences, and major professional achievements. And a final catalog section presents a visual overview of twenty-three additional agency projects, highlighting Wonderwall’s reach and renown.

Wonderwall Case Studies, edited and designed by Winkreative, is an engaging and exciting book for interior design students, industry dilettantes, and professionals searching for inspiration. Nowhere else has Katayama’s unique approach been so deeply documented.

“Like very few other designers in recent history — giants like André Putman, Shiro Kuramata, Ettore Sottsass or Philippe Starck — Katayama has defined the 1990s and 2000s and changed the world of interior design.”
Paola Antonelli, Senior Curator, Architecture and Design, The Museum of Modern Art

Yes is more is the title of an exhibition and a book presenting B.I.G. in solo format for the first time in Denmark at the Danish architecture centre.

Unlike a classic architectural monograph, this book is more of a popular cultural manifesto, which is also literally the first actual documentation of B.I.G.'s trailblazing practice. As the book demonstrates, this is a practice where method, processes, instruments and the approach to the concept of architecture is precisely as wild, unfettered and result-producing as the world it is part of and greets with an unqualified Yes. Bjarke Ingels attracts highly talented co-workers, but also gifted and ambitious clients from all over the world. He does so because his own talent is above all to swiftly create intelligent synergies out of indomitable "movements", wild energies and unforeseen dynamics and transform them into hitherto unseen, surprising, functional, valuable and beautiful solutions to the specific and complex challenges in each task.

The results of B.I.G.'s practice has already won awards from the Royal Academy of Fine Arts, the Special Jury Prize at the Venice Architecture Biennale, the prize for "The World's Best Housing Project", "Best Building in the Nordic Countries" as well as many other international kudos.

The project and the title Yes is more is a double-edged wordplay on the dogma in modern architecture that "less is more". Less is only more as far as dimensions go - the ability to encompass as many dimensions as possible (more) with as few expenses as possible (less). As a design parameter for an aesthetic retro minimalism this only amounts to idiosyncratic architectural idiocy.

Radical Space. How Zaha Hadid created 21st-century architecture

Discover the audacious futurism of Zaha Hadid. As the first woman to win both the Pritzker Prize for architecture and the RIBA Royal Gold Medal, Hadid broke the rules and re-defined the game, despite some saying her designs were unbuildable. At the time of her unexpected death in 2016, she was firmly established as the first great architect of the noughties.

Zaha Hadid was a revolutionary architect, who for many years built almost nothing, despite winning critical acclaim. Some even said her audacious, futuristic designs were unbuildable.

During the latter years of her life, Hadid’s daring visions became a reality, bringing a unique new architectural language to cities and structures as varied as the Rosenthal Center for Contemporary Art in Cincinnati, hailed by The New York Times as “the most important new building in America since the Cold War”; the MAXXI Museum in Rome; the Guangzhou Opera House in China; and the London 2012 Olympics Aquatics Centre.

At the time of her unexpected death in 2016, Hadid was firmly established among the elite of world architecture, recognized as the first woman to win both the Pritzker Prize for architecture and the RIBA Royal Gold Medal, but above all as a giver of new forms, the first great architect of the noughties.

From her early sharply angled buildings to later more fluid architecture that made floors, ceilings, walls, and furniture part of an overall design, this essential introduction presents key examples of Hadid’s pioneering practice. She was an artist, as much as an architect, who fought to break the old rules and crafted her own 21st-century universe.

About the series:

Each book in TASCHEN’s Basic Architecture series features:

- an introduction to the life and work of the architect 
- the major works in chronological order
- information about the clients, architectural preconditions as well as construction problems and resolutions
- a list of all the selected works and a map indicating the locations of the best and most famous buildings
- approximately 120 illustrations (photographs, sketches, drafts, and plans)

Кантри - это один из самых популярных и любимых стилей. Однако, если об интерьерах в этом стиле написано много, то о каминах кантри что-либо найти практически невозможно.

А между тем, дизайн каминов в стиле кантри имеет ряд законов. Какой формы должен быть камин, какие отделочные материалы выбрать, сколько будет стоить такой камин?
На эти и многие другие вопросы можно найти профессиональные ответы в новой книге.

Книга написана дизайнером каминов и печником. Авторы постарались популярно изложить основные черты каминов в стиле кантри. Для лучшего понимания законов стиля авторы приводят пять примеров с подробными рекомендациями по сочетанию отделочных материалов. Схемы сочетания материалов и фактур могут быть полезны и для каминов других стилей.

Книга содержит сметы материалов и общие рекомендации по строительству и расположению каминов в помещении. Единственное, чего нет в этой книге - это советов о том, как порезать кирпич и замесить раствор. Об этом уже написано достаточно.

Радиально-кольцевая сеть Московского метрополитена с её общей протяженностью в 320 км по праву считается одной из самых красивых систем подземного транспорта в мире. Свое 80-летие она встречает на новом витке развития: в ближайшие годы в эксплуатацию вводятся около 80 км новых линий и почти 30 станций. Данная книга исследует феномен архитектуры московского метро, прослеживая ее развитие от самых первых проектов 1930-х годов до новейших конкурсных предложений, а также историю становления фирменного стиля и корпоративного дизайна подземки, от истории создания логотипа до внешнего вида проездных билетов и схем. Три главы подробно анализируют прошлое, настоящее и будущее московского метро, причем о перспективах развития уникальной подземной транспортной системы рассказывает лично главный архитектор города.

The Moscow metro comprises a route network with a total length of 320 km and is the most fascinating underground transportation system in the world. Each year more than 2.4 billion passengers use ­almost 200 stations which are rich in archi­tectural design. The aim is for a further 80 km – that is a quarter of the current network – to be connected by 2017. The metro of the Russian capital is thus on the threshold of an enlargement which will be the largest in its history.

This elaborately designed ­illustrated book focuses on the architecture and its associated design from the sign­age, to the logo branding, to the many printed materials. Three text contributions consider the underground world of traffic engi­neering in terms of construction history, from the point of view of the Chief Architect of Moscow, architectural his­tory and the design bureau which lent the metro its unmistakable character.
