This book evokes the world of Fantini, a “factory of Italian design” strongly connected to its territory, Lake Orta, the genius loci of its creations.

The fascinating story of this business starts in the small village of Pella, on the shores of Lake Orta, in northern Italy, yet its high-end design products created by the best-known designers, including Piero Lissoni, Michael Anastassiades, Matteo Thun, Antonio Rodriguez, Vincent Van Duysen, Naoto Fukasawa, and Paik Sun Kim, went on to travel the world in an international circuit.

Water is the common thread running through the whole book. This is the water of Lake Orta, found in the images of great photographers such as Gianni Basso, Franco Fontana, Giorgio Lotti, Gabriele Basilico, Gianni Berengo Gardin, Ferdinando Scianna, Gabriele Croppi, and Walter Zerla, who have interpreted it over time at the invitation of Fantini. However, water is also the main element of the jewellike taps produced by the company, small everyday masterpieces that bring it to our homes, renewing this great magic every day.

An artistic photographic book dedicated to the reconstruction of the Polcevera Viaduct, also known as Ponte Morandi, in Genoa, which tragically collapsed in 2018.

Andrea Botto, a photographer and visual artist specializing in large works, uses his shots to describe the stages involved in the demolition of the old Ponte Morandi and the construction of the new infrastructure designed by Renzo Piano. His lens follows each phase of the undertaking with technical expertise and attention to the composition of the image, in a skillful combination of documentary reportage and aesthetic research.

Botto has been working for RINA Consulting, the Italian agency supervising both the demolition and the construction of the new bridge, which is set to become a new landmark in Genoa, having been designed by Renzo Piano, one of the most renowned architects in the world.

RINA Consulting was selected by the commissioning authority to carry out project management, supervision, quality control, and safety coordination during the execution phase of the project.

About the Author:

The definitive monograph on the fashion of Rick Owens -- one of the most daring and influential designers working today -- this book documents over a decade of sublime, iconic styles.

Since the establishment of his label in 1994, Rick Owens has transformed global fashion with his provocative clothing and subversive style. Distinguished by his grunge-meets-glamour aesthetic and defiant anti-fashion stance, Owens created a dark fashion empire that has accrued a devoted international following which gravitates toward the brand's sublime tailoring, somber palette, mystical layers, and gritty elegance.

Filled with photographs of Owens's most impressive looks from the last decade, this volume is conceived as a celebration of the Rick Owens aesthetic, approximating with printing effects some of the mystery and detailing associated with the brand. Iconic imagery taken from Owens's seminal lookbooks provides a unique look at the output of design from an artist who is at once comfortable with developing technologies and respectful of traditional approaches.

With principal photography by Danielle Levitt -- who achieved considerable acclaim for her social-realist images -- this book is essential for lovers of avant-garde fashion, photography, and design.

About The Authors:

Rick Owens is an American fashion designer and winner of a Cooper-Hewitt National Design Award.

Завдяки своєму провокаційному та підривному підходу до дизайну, Рік Оуенс є трансформаційною силою у світі моди з моменту заснування свого бренду в 1994 році. Цей важливий том є першою критичною оцінкою робіт Оуенса, яка документує еволюцію майже трьох десятиліть неповторного світогляду дизайнера.

Оуенс залишається одним із найсміливіших та найвпливовіших модельєрів, що працюють сьогодні. Оуенса часто описують за його естетику «гранж зустрічає гламур», і він здобув віддану міжнародну аудиторію. У його творіннях грація та суворість поєднуються з одержимістю структурною трансформацією та рухом, де прозорі, плавні форми контрастують з непрозорими формами та гострими краями, підхід до формального винаходу, який доповнюється манією до нових і часто екзотичних матеріалів.

Приурочена до першої комплексної виставки робіт дизайнера, яка відбудеться в Пале Галлієра в Парижі влітку 2025 року, масштаб та широта цієї виставки обіцяють стати справжньою насолодою як для давніх шанувальників, так і для тих, хто не встиг її побачити. Оуенс переосмислить величний палац дев'ятнадцятого століття, в якому розташований музей, з тимчасовими інсталяціями, які слугуватимуть вітринами для його численних творінь. Фактично розділяючи книгу між концепцією вітрин та цінними предметами, які вони демонструють усередині, кураторські есе, що завершують цю візуальну розповідь, спробують описати міждисциплінарний, навіть архітектурний підхід Оуенса до своїх творінь.

Про авторів:

Рік Оуенс — американський модельєр; він запустив свою однойменну лінію одягу в Лос-Анджелесі в 1994 році, перш ніж переїхати до Парижа в 2003 році. Мірен Арзаллус — історик моди та директор Пале-Галлієра. Александр Самсон — історик моди та керівник відділу сучасного дизайну в Пале-Галлієра.

A new title in the Design series and an excellent introduction to the life and work of this versatile Russian artist.

Alexander Mikhailovich Rodchenko (1891-1953) was a central figure in the Russian Constructivist art movement; a radical activist, a pioneer of photomontage, a theorist, and a teacher. He was an active force in the organization of the first museums of modern art that arose in Russia in the first years after the Russian Revolution of 1917.

Attending art school in 1914 in Kazan was to be a defining influence: that year Russian Futurists performed in the town, and Rodchenko saw their leading figures in action. It transformed his vision and he was still working with Futurist artists and their ideas twenty-five years later. And it was at art school where Rodchenko first met the artist Varvara Stepanova, with whom he collaborated extensively, and who would become his life-long partner.

Central in the re-examination of art and its place in society after the Revolution, and in the search for a new culture without the class implications of the past, Rodchenko's radical approach proposed a new understanding of a constructed, rather than a tastefully composed, culture.

This concise, comprehensive and informative work focuses largely on Rodchenko's graphic work in the form of book jackets, posters and advertising.

A gorgeous tribute to the legendary shoe and accessories designs of Roger Vivier

Master designer Roger Vivier elevated both the form and decoration of ladies’ shoes during his sixty-year career. His innate Parisian style embodied a sense of perfection and craftsmanship, and his work was coveted by style icons from Elsa Schiaparelli to Jackie Onassis. Described by Yves St. Laurent as bringing to his work a "level of charm, delicacy, refinement and poetry unsurpassed," he created the first stiletto heel for a ready-to-wear shoe line with the house of Dior in 1955.

His shoes are legendary, and the tradition of his innovative spirit continues with the revival of the house by current designer Bruno Frisoni, who has updated Vivier’s concepts, bringing his own touch to signature shapes and embellishments (including the buckle pump made famous by Catherine Deneuve in Belle du Jour).

This lavish volume celebrates the history of the venerated house and charts the current evolution of the fantastic haute-couture designs that keep Roger Vivier at the top of every well-dressed woman’s list.

With gorgeous new photography of the house’s collection of vintage shoes, beautifully rendered sketches, and details of the amazing accessories coming out of Roger Vivier today, this book is as chic as the shoes that fill its pages.
