The Hoffmeister Collection is one of the best and most extensive private collections of antique and historic Turkmen knotted carpets in Western Europe and America. It competes alongside important collections from Western museums as well as those in Russia and Turkmenistan.

With almost 200 objects - among which are distinguished carpets and bags - artistic excellence and historical significance come together. As one of the first to do so, Hoffmeister has determined the age of these knotted works of the Turkmen with the aid of radio-carbon techniques. According to the results from the science and technology university ETH in Zurich, the earliest pieces of the collection originate from the sixteenth century. Both the cultural significance of the collection and the scientific and artistic value of its pieces are discussed in this book.

The readers can really sense the texture of these knotted wares through the brilliant photography, which carry them away on a journey into the lost world of the Steppes folk of Central Asia.

The lighting designer is at once an artist and an engineer. He uses the best technology available to reveal scope, space, and form both in landscapes and in urban environments and aims to do so in a way that achieves a functional, creative, and environmental result. This relatively recent profession is the focus of the latest title in teNeues Ultimate series. Lighting Design presents an illustrated overview of Hervé Descottes many projects. Founder of the renowned New York design firm L Observatoire International, Descottes collaborated with architects such as Steven Holl (Kiasma Museum of Modern Art, Helsinki), Frank Gehry (Walt Disney Concert Hall, LA), Mario Botta, Jean Nouvel and OMA/Rem Koolhaas (three museums in Seoul, South Korea), and Richard Meier (Restaurant 66, New York City).

Over the course of the past two decades a previously unrecognized genre of startlingly modern looking large flat woven hangings and covers (gelims) has emerged from an isolated highland region in Mazandaran Province in northern Iran. No one had imagined that hidden in the forests south of the Caspian Sea there could have existed such sophisticated treasures, which in their deceptive simplicity of abstract patterning and subtle colouring are much in accord with the aesthetic canons of contemporary ‘minimalist’ art. Published in association with Hali.

While the collection includes elevations and floor plans for a variety of handsome, private residences and commercial structures, the emphasis is on architectural details — from cornices, dormer windows and piazzas, to balconies, fireplace mantels, and gable ornaments. A delight for anyone who appreciates the charm of Victorian architecture.

More than 160 exquisitely rendered color illustrations offer a fabulous array of decorative borders and panels in a tremendous variety of styles: Byzantine, Roman, Gothic, Renaissance, Louis XIV, and other historical fashions.

Many of these enchanting images are drawn from Christopher Dresser's Studies in Design, a landmark in home-decorating stylebooks. Dresser's compilations of unusual designs from far-flung sources - including Egypt, Morocco, and the Far East - exercised an enormous influence upon his Victorian contemporaries and subsequent generations. Images from his book, together with selections from a nineteenth-century French album and other pictorial collections of the era, afford a wealth of delights for art enthusiasts as well as inspiration for designers and crafters.

Victorian architecture, with its quirky diversity, eclectic origins and exuberant ornamentation, continues to exert a strong attraction on today's architects, builders and homeowners. For those interested in restoring, preserving, or even recreating Victorian homes, authentic plans and designs are invaluable. This volume, meticulously reproduced from a rare 19th-century publication, offers an exceptionally rich pictorial record of actual mid- to late-victorian designs.

Extremely clear and detailed engravings — drawn to scale — present elevations, floor plans, perspectives and other drawings (in some cases, complete framing plans) for country houses and cottages in a variety of styles: Queen Anne, Eastlake, Elizabethan, Colonial, Jacobean, Southern, Californian and more. There are even designs for several store and office fronts, with counters, shelving, etc.

Supplementing the large number of complete designs are nearly 700 large-scale drawings of virtually every architectural detail, many embodying the unique “gingerbread” that characterizes Victorian buildings. Included are clear, precise renderings of balusters, brackets, cornices, dormers, fireplaces, finials, gables, mantels, moldings, newels, piazzas, porches, rafters, rosettes, staircases, transoms, verandas, wainscoting, windows and hundreds of other features.

For restorers of old houses, preservationists, students of American architectural history, admirers of Victoriana, anyone interested in the “Victorian Gothic” styles that dominated American domestic architecture in the late 1800s will want to have this inexpensive treasury of authentic century-old plans and details.
