Menu– from the French menu– is a species of document offered in any bar or restaurant which shows customers a list of dish suggestions they might like to enjoy. In Menu Design, What’s for lunch? we come across all types of menus, in different shapes and sizes, those with relief, cut-outs, drawn on the wall or in pieces of wood. All the studios or agencies commissioned for these projects have tried to instill the very spirit and soul of the restaurant. A menu signifies anywhere from 20% to 30% of a restaurant’s image, a fact we do not bear so much in mind when we find ourselves in one, given the importance it has.

A visual and comprehensive guide to a hugely popular graphic style.

The distinctive aesthetic of mid-century design captured the post-war zeitgeist of energy and progress, and remains hugely popular today. In Mid-Century Modern Graphic Design Theo Inglis takes an in-depth look at the innovative graphics of the period, writing about the work of artists and designers from all over the world. From book covers, record covers and posters to advertising, typography and illustration, the designs feature eye-popping colour palettes, experimental type and prints that buzz with kinetic energy.

The book features artworks from a wide selection of international designers and illustrators whose work continues to inspire and influence today, including Ray Eames, Paul Rand, Alex Steinweiss, Joseph Low, Alvin Lustig, Elaine Lustig Cohen, Leo Lionni, Rudolph de Harak, Abram Games, Tom Eckersley, Ivan Chermayeff, Josef Albers, Corita Kent, Jim Flora, Ben Shahn, Herbert Bayer and Helen Borten.

Theo draws from a broad range of sources including advertising, magazine covers, record sleeves, travel posters and children’s book illustration to show the development of the design style globally, and how this continues to influence design today. The book is packed with hundreds of colour illustrations, including classic designs, such as Saul Bass’ film posters and Miroslav Šašek’s children’s books, alongside lesser-known gems.

About the Author:

Theo Inglis is a design writer and graphic designer who specialises in post-war design. He writes regularly for online design magazine Grafik and for Monotype, the world's leading font company. Additionally, he holds an MA in Critical Writing in Art and Design from the Royal College of Art. He also runs the Tumblr account Midcenturymoderndesign, which has over 30,000 followers. He is based in Norwich.

In recent years, there is a real revival and appraisal of the works of the mid-century modern movement among architects and interior designers:  the furniture, lighting and objects designed by Alvar Aalto, Charles & Ray Eames, Eileen Gray, Poul Henningsen, Arne Jacobsen, Pierre Jeanneret, Finn Juhl, Vladimir Kagan, Poul Kjaerholm, Florence Knoll, Le Corbusier, Ludwig Mies van der Rohe, Børge Mogensen, Serge Mouille, George Nakashima, George Nelson, Verner Panton, Ico Parisi, Charlotte Perriand, Gio Ponti, Jean Prouvé, Sergio Rodrigues, Jean Royère, Eero Saarinen, Arne Vodder, Jules Wabbes, Ole Wanscher, Hans J. Wegner, Jorge Zalszupin and many others is integrated in their most exclusive projects and their best pieces are sold at record prices at Christies, Philipps, Sotheby's.

In the U.S., the mid-century modern movement in interiors, product and graphic design and architecture was a reflection of the International and Bauhaus movements including the works of Gropius, Florence Knoll, Le Corbusier and Ludwig Mies van der Rohe. Brazilian and Scandinavian architects were very influential, with a style characterized by clean simplicity and integration with nature.

In Europe, the influence of  Le Corbusier and the CIAM resulted in an architectural orthodoxy manifest across most parts of post-war Europe that was ultimately challenged by the radical agendas of the architectural wings of the avant-garde. A critical but sympathetic reappraisal of the internationalist oeuvre, inspired by the Scandinavian Moderns and the late work of Le Corbusier himself, was reinterpreted by groups such as Team X, including structuralist architects and the movement known as New Brutalism. 

This chic XL coffee table book is an essential object for all mid-century design aficionados, interior designers with a passion for the modernist 1950s and for refined readers seeking inspiration for their own interior.

In 20 reports, interior designers and passionate collectors of mid-century furniture, lighting, objects and artworks show how carefully selected touches of high-end mid-century modernism can contribute to a unique living environment.

The first large format book on the house of Mina Perhonen, one of the most profoundly Japanese of the women's lines to come out of Tokyo in the last three decades.

A unique blend of Scandinavian sensibility and Japanese, Mina Perhonen is characterized by a tenacious individuality that often contradicts the prevailing trends in Japanese high fashion with its emphasis on unmistakably feminine silhouettes and bright, minimalistic prints that have as much in common with the work of Alvar Aalto and Marimekko as they do with traditional Japanese design.

This thoughtfully designed volume gathers the most iconic work outputted by the fashion house in the last twenty years, highlighting the rich and witty world of Mina Perhonen. A combination of new and archival photography as well as a collection of the illustrations showcase Minagawa's subtle approach to design while critical essays by Issey Miyake and Susan Brown offer insightful commentary about Minagawa's work.

About the Author:

Akira Minagawa is a Japanese fashion and furniture designer and founder of Mina Perhonen. Issey Miyake is a Japanese fashion designer known for his technology-driven clothing designs. Susan Brown is the associate curator of the textile department of the Cooper Hewitt, Smithsonian Design Museum.

Since its origins in the sixth-century, ikebana has been as much a philosophy as an art, with its roots in Zen Buddhism and a reverence for nature. Over hundreds of years it has developed a complex set of unwritten rules, that take a lifetime to master. But in recent years the distinctive look of ikebana – with its love of the asymmetric shapes to be found in nature and its willingness to embrace simple, natural materials – has found a new audience and opened the eyes of a generation of artists to a new way of working with flowers.

This book showcases a selection of this new wave of floral artists. The authors Victoria Gaiger and Tom Loxley – the editors of the award-winning rakesprogress, the UK’s leading independent magazine about the art of gardens, plants and flowers – have talked to the most exciting florists working today about their art and inspiration. It includes an introduction to the history and evolution of Japanese floral art and an illustrated glossary of flowers and plants.

Сучасний підхід до традиційного японського флористичного дизайну.

Нагороджений дизайнер квітів Шінічі Нагацука пояснює, як кожен може створювати чудові композиції, використовуючи свій фірмовий метод N Style. Він простий у використанні, базується на акцентних лініях, а не на складній системі правил, що використовуються для традиційної ікебани.

Акцентні лінії – це природні форми самих квітів, а це означає, що вертикальні композиції вимагають іншого підходу, ніж, наприклад, горизонтальні або круглі. Розуміючи, як форми квітів і рослин впливають на ваш дизайн, ви навчитеся вибирати саме ті, що вам потрібні, щоб досягти бажаного вигляду та відчуття.

Завдяки понад 280 кольоровим фотографіям і 42 проектам, книга Modern Japanese Ikebana розкриває таємниці мистецтва ікебани. Дотримуючись методу N Style, ви можете привнести природний потік у свої композиції, досягаючи балансу та загальної гармонії дизайну.

An authoritative survey of the 20th century’s defining movement in design and the applied arts

The powerful aesthetic and philosophical framework that Modernism ushered in during the early part of the 20th century revolutionized the built world, transformed our living spaces and lifestyles, and fundamentally changed the way we think about design. As they experimented with new forms, materials and techniques, Modernist designers rejected historical precedents to prioritize function over history and tradition.

With sections on furniture, lighting, glass, ceramics, textiles, industrial and product design, graphic design and posters, architecture and interiors, and featuring profiles of nearly a hundred influential creators, including such iconic figures as Bruno Mathsson, Charlotte Perriand and László Moholy-Nagy, as well as architects Alvar Aalto, Le Corbusier, Eliel Saarinen and Walter Gropius, the book’s scope is unprecedented.
