Aria d’Italia is a Tod’s brand project that represents the Italy of the present and future through the faces and voices of young talents.

Aria d’Italia celebrates the contemporary Italian lifestyle and its values, highlighting talent and passion for quality in every aspect of life, from the culinary world to art, from social life to the loving care of traditions. The book demonstrates a harmony of action and thought that transcends nationality and can be embraced by all. As artist Costanza Chia, one of the people involved in this research, says, “There is poetry in doing things calmly and carefully: this is the warm Italian touch.”

Exploring eight keywords including Joy, Boldness, Passion, and Heritage, Aria d’Italia tells the personal and professional stories of young artists, entrepreneurs, and artisans who represent the heart of the Italian identity, motivated by an ongoing quest for beauty. These protagonists have been photographed by Guido Taroni in their homes and in the places that best represent their origins.

The title Aria d’Italia is inspired by the eponymous magazine published between 1939 and 1941 by collector Daria Guarnati, which brought together impressive collaborators such as Giò Ponti. With avant-garde taste, Guarnati enhanced Italy’s artistic heritage in all its expressions, from graphics to literature, art to design — and launched the concept of Italian style.

Vogue’s Book of Houses, Gardens, People (1968) was a landmark publication for decorating books, and it chronicles an important chapter in the history of Vogue.

Vogue's Horst P. Horst, a leading fashion photographer of his time, developed an intense interest in seeing the world’s great homes and meeting their owners; beginning in the early 1960s, he journeyed into an elite world that would soon be lost. With accompanying lyrical essays about homes and their occupants by the famed writer Valentine Lawford (Horst’s partner in work and life), the book is a virtual who’s who of society, politics, and the arts in the mid-20th century. Around That Time showcases much of the material featured in the original book, plus never-before-seen photographs from those homes as well as images from additional homes Horst shot well into the 1980s.

This book introduces this work to a new generation of design, decorating, and visual art professionals, academics and enthusiasts.

About the Authors

Horst P. Horst was a photographer known for his photographs of women, fashion, and interior architecture and for his environmental portraits. Valentine Lawford was a writer as well as the life partner of Horst P. Horst. Hamish Bowles is the international editor-at-large for Vogue.

By the time of the Paris exhibition of 1925 from which Art Deco took its name, the idea that an interior and its furnishings should form a complete design - a "total look" - dominated the thinking of both designers and their clients. Studios began to emerge to serve the needs of a design and style-conscious middle-class. This text displays the flourishing design ingenuity through contemporary photographs and illustrations of selected interiors complemented with modern photographs of individual pieces. It traces the sylistic evolution and dominant motifs of Deco, the triumph of the 1925 exhibition and the pure "high style" of the Paris ensembliers; the growth of Streamline Moderne offshoots in the US; the international revival of Deco as a decorative style for a new generation of post-modern designers; and the restoration of many Art Deco interiors to their original state.

Двоє позолотників з реставраційної майстерні Версальського палацу написали цю багато ілюстровану технічну книгу. Вона демонструє їхню здатність донести до читача процеси своєї справи, спираючись на велику кількість виняткових предметів, включаючи меблі та рами, дерев'яні вироби, ліпнину та навіть прикраси даху. Таким чином, це не просто книга про позолоту дерева, а довідник з усіх технік позолотної справи.

Після деяких роздумів про те, як практикувати свою професію в Палаці, автори розглядають використані вироби та інструменти. Щоб нічого не залишити поза увагою, вони не вагаються розповідати про роботу останнього золоторуба у Франції (фірма Dauvet, яка діє з 1764 року) та виробника інструментів позолотників (ремонтні праски Da Silva).

Далі детально описуються техніки золочення, а численні фотографії демонструють техніки та процеси, що використовуються професіоналами. Темперне золочення (також відоме як водне золочення або пластинчасте золочення), найкрасивіше, оскільки воно досягає незрівнянного блиску, детально описано у своїх 18 кроках. Далі пояснюється міксіонне золочення (або олійне золочення), яке переважно використовується на відкритому повітрі у Версалі. Також представлені техніки фонового золочення та інші техніки золочення (грецьке, на папері, на гіпсі, на склі, з приклеєними листками).

Потім розглядається близько двадцяти шедеврів з колекцій замку, відреставрованих майстернею золочення, а втручання описуються за допомогою багато детальних ілюстрацій. Деякі кімнати, прикрашені різьбленими та позолоченими дерев'яними елементами, надають можливість для чудових фотографій, що ілюструють роботу позолотників минулого та сьогодення. На останніх сторінках представлено декоративний розпис (імітація мармуру та штучного дерева), часто пов'язаний з позолотою. Книга завершується глосарієм, біографіями згаданих майстрів та списком веб-сайтів, постачальників та спеціалізованих книг.

This large format, full-color, inspirational book is about how artists use their collections to make artwork.

The artwork will include journals, assemblages, altered books, as well as jewelry pieces, and detailed descriptions of the materials and techniques used, plus tips and insights into using unusual materials and collections.

Mixed-media artists are naturally collectors. They are fascinated by the stuff of life, and they are always looking for the right elements to add to their collages and journals.

Besides fulfilling their traditional function, stairs have become an almost sculptural element in building. This volume comprises a complete study of stairs, from their technical details to the realization of the projects. The examples used are drawn from the work of recognized architects and that of innovative young masters in the field, thereby explaining the most interesting solutions in this fascinating area of architecture : details of the width and height and shape of steps, their structural systems, balusters, proportions, and alternative types, etc. lllustrated with hundreds of full-color, glossy photographs, plans, tables and specific diagrams, this book is specifically designed to be a valuable source of technical and inspirational information, for students as well as for the fully-fledged architect and building professional.

Andrew Fisher and Jeffry Weisman delight in the unexpected. They revel in beautiful contradictions to create interiors that blend the exotic and the traditional and refresh classic ideas with handmade, whimsical details. Both designers contribute an essential element to every project: Andrew Fisher injects opulence and glamour, hand-decorating chandeliers with shells, crafting side tables with delicate branchlike bases, and choosing ornate accent materials like tortoise, gold leaf, and peacock feathers; Jeffry Weisman contributes restrained architecture, calm visual pauses, and impeccable interior finishes.

As a firm, Fisher Weisman breathes new life into traditional aesthetics, reinterpreting timeless sensibilities with a lively and contemporary eye. Whether recovering Biedermeier chairs in zebra hide and slipper chairs with repurposed Indian saris found on their travels or finishing formal dining rooms in rich chocolate lacquer, Fisher Weisman subverts expectations to create truly extraordinary interiors. Artful Decoration showcases the exquisite work of this San Francisco–based design firm, revealing the imagination, meticulous attention to detail, and the sense of humor with which they infuse every home.

Beguiling touches finish off rooms designed with an enviable knowledge of form, proportion, color, and history to bring traditional spaces into the present and create livable, fresh interiors with an artisanal flair. Artful Decoration features thirteen residences ranging from small but lavish pieds-à-terre to airy Californian estates, from elegant penthouses to one especially elaborate tree house. Two hundred vivid, full-color illustrations reveal these and many other unexpected pleasures on every page to delight the eye and inspire the imagination.

Artistic Interiors is an extraordinary volume featuring the work of the prestigious architectural interior designer Suzanne Lovell. Hundreds of full-colour photographs feature her unique approach toward designing environments that create an expressive home through collections of art.

Exploring more than a dozen homes all over the country, Lovell takes the reader on a journey through homes with sumptuous interiors, finely crafted details and exceptional art collections, fabrics and furnishings. Art collections range from paintings, drawings and photography by Vic Muniz, Edward Lipski and Dale Chihuly to Native American mask and headdress collections to incredible sculpture and textiles.

Suzanne Lovell is well known as the go-to interior designer for people with serious art collections and in this book, she will feature some of her best curatorial work.

The global exchange of design and taste is at its most fertile between Asia and the West. Leading Asian designers and architects have reprocessed international ideas and functionality into the idiom of Asian cultures, from India to China, Japan to Southeast Asia. Asia Home is a wide-ranging look at contemporary design from across the region, featuring more than 100 homes and more than 50 top designers.

The universal value systems of Buddhism and Zen and the principles these involve, such as an affinity with nature and life energy, have left a deep impression on Western lifestyle and have had an important influence on today's trends in design and architecture.

This volume attempts, with its selection of particularly interesting and concise examples, to present the inexhaustible variety of Asian living and lifestyles.

From city high-rises to seaside cottages, the great manor homes of England to the smallest beach house on the other side of the Atlantic, the beauty of the Cabbages & Roses ethos is its gentle but highly visible vintage design. This lavish book embodies all locations – country, city and coast. Chapters encompass Classic Country, Modern City, Island Country and Outdoor Country. Homes that bring together the old and the new, evoking the atmosphere of each season, sit beside city spaces where urban living combines with vintage style – think faded florals and ticking fabrics softening an industrial space, splashes of colour to enliven it and contrasting textures to add interest. Coastal dwellings are fresh, breezy and dreamy – beautifully suited for beach living. Cabbages & Roses' style shows that the country can come to the city, and that city homes can exude the pure freshness of coastal living.
