This is the first book of its kind devoted to the history of Estel, celebrating eighty years of the furniture manufacturer's activity.

This book takes the reader through Estel's history from the future to the past, working backward in five major phases of the company's progress. These phases are related through various illustrations, best called "dioramas," covering double spreads that fold out, making four full-size pages.

Especially created for the book by Pierluigi Longo, these "dioramas" emerge like modern-day frescoes in which the leading figures of the business world can be observed, along with the production panorama and market environment around them. They represent a sort of visualized concept that not only illustrates and tracks a path through the book, but also lends it concept and structure.

The texts that follow each theme-diorama pivot successively on the company philosophy, the protagonists, the products, and a brief text classifying the furniture-manufacturing sector itself. Hence, the tale unfolds on two fronts simultaneously, interweaving the company's history with the ongoing developments in the sector and in methods of production.

About the Authors:

Mario Piazza is one of Italy's leading graphic designers. Maria Giulia Zunino is a journalist who writes on questions of production and design. Pierluigi Longo is an illustrator whose work is featured in leading Italian publications.

Destined to be a classic, this modern introduction offers a contemporary twist on the age-old craft of leatherworking.

The Leathercraft Handbook guides you through all the skills, tools, and techniques you need to make beautiful and durable pieces, from elegant accessories to stylish homewares - without the need for expensive equipment.

Try your hand at more than 20 step-by-step projects, complete with easy-to-follow tutorials and templates that can be scaled up or down.

Arrows, swashes, swooshes, globes, sunbursts and parallel, vertical and horizontal lines, words, letters, shapes and pictures. Logos are the most ubiquitous and essential of all graphic design devices, representing ideas, beliefs and, of course, things. They primarily identify products, businesses and institutions, but they are also associated, hopefully in a positive way, with the ethos or philosophy of those entities. The 50 logos in this book are examples of good ideas in the service of representation, reputation and identification.

A one-stop resource providing comprehensive information about all the 'design' material types and new technology developments

Today’s designers are often presented with a seemingly infinite number of creative choices, with the ability to push their materials to the limits of what they can do. Understanding these materials properly helps designers make inspired decisions in a practical and confident manner. The Materials Sourcebook for Design Professionals is the one-stop resource for all design professionals, providing comprehensive, accurate information about the basic materials with which they work on a daily basis, as well as a complete breakdown on new and exciting developments in high-tech materials.

Written by Rob Thompson, The Materials Sourcebook for Design Professionals comprises six main parts on all the major ‘design’ material groups. These parts are then separated further into chapters that examine the properties of individual types of materials, e.g. ‘Iron’, ‘Steel’ and ‘Aluminium’. In total, there are nearly 100 material types featured, each one supported by examples of how it can be used in a variety of industries, an outline of its most desirable properties and details on its form and texture. With 450 vibrant illustrations and a clear layout, the design professional or student is presented with a long-term reference tool that tells them everything they need to know about the materials they use habitually, with information delivered in a wholly unbiased and accessible manner.

Натхненням черпайте натхнення, знайдіть свій голос і створюйте роботу, яка має значення.

Чому люди прагнуть творити?

Ніби ми колективно інтуїтивно усвідомили, задовго до того, як наука дала нам мову, що Всесвіт схиляється до ентропії, і кожен акт творення з нашого боку є актом непокори перед обличчям цього еволюціонуючого безладу.

Коли ми беремо пензель, складаємо елементи через видошукач нашої камери або вдавлюємо пальці у вологу глину, щоб вирвати форму з безформної грудки, ми згинаємо речі назад до Порядку та вибиваємо їх з Хаосу.

Але створення речей часто недостатньо.

Ми також хочемо, щоб речі, які ми створюємо, були наповнені змістом. Кожен з нас намагається описати те, що ми знаємо про життя, створити колективне відчуття «безпеки в кількості». Коли ми досягаємо межі наших традиційних описових можливостей, настає час вплітати колективний сенс з поезії, живопису, письма, танців, фотографії, кіновиробництва, оповіді, співу, анімації, дизайну, виступів, різьблення, скульптури та мільйона інших способів, якими ми щодня створюємо Порядок з Хаосу та ділимося ним один з одним для комфорту.

У цій подорожі нам потрібна творча філософія, яка допоможе нам знайти свій голос, відкрити своє послання, впоратися з реакцією на нашу роботу, підтримувати натхнення та залишатися психічно здоровими та мотивованими творцями, прагнучи знайти «сенс у творенні».

Менді Афтель — одна з провідних у світі парфумерок натуральних ароматів, серед клієнтів якої є співак і автор пісень Леонард Коен, так і Айві Росс, керівник відділу дизайну обладнання в Google. Уникаючи синтетичних молекул, які домінують у комерційних парфумах, Афтель створює свої складні та витончені аромати, використовуючи лише натуральні есенції. Для неї кожна з цих есенцій — це ворота до втраченого світу ароматів, що сягає витоків людської цивілізації та переплітається з історією медицини, кулінарії, прикрас, сексуальності та духовності. У 2017 році Афтель відкрила музей з однією кімнатою — Архів цікавих ароматів Афтель — на задньому дворі свого будинку в Берклі, Каліфорнія, щоб допомогти сучасній аудиторії знову відкрити для себе чари цього втраченого світу. Її музей приваблює тисячі захоплених відвідувачів і був представлений у New York Times, Vogue, Goop, O: The Oprah Magazine та багатьох інших ЗМІ.

Афтель створила цю чудову книгу, ілюстровану скарбами з колекції її музею, щоб читачі вдома могли зануритися у світ ароматів. Вона проведе нас крізь різні родини ботанічних ароматів (включаючи квіти, деревину, листя та трави, а також смоли), зображуючи кожну рослину за допомогою розфарбованої вручну антикварної гравюри на дереві та розкриваючи її нюхові нотки та традиції. Спеціальні розділи присвячені найрідкіснішим та найціннішим ароматам, таким як амбра, що утворюється з рідкісного секрету кашалота, а також старовинним пляшечкам з ефірними оліями, рукописним книгам рецептів та іншим виразним артефактам. The Museum of Scent,, який включає закладку, тонко ароматизовану натуральною есенцією, запрошує нас у чуттєву, сповнену уяви подорож.

In this beautiful new book, Olivier Dupon introduces the finest modern jewelers practising today. Featuring 108 both up-and-coming and established designers, the book is inspired not by traditional jewelry typology, but by style and look. Rough stones appear with exquisitely faceted gems; organic forms vie with geometric structures; feathers and leather take their place next to platinum and diamonds.

The book showcases fine jewelry, fashion jewelry, luxe jewelry, conceptual jewelry, and much much more.

Over 800 mainly colour photographs display the jewelry alongside portraits of the designers at work, shots of sketches and works in progress, studios and boutiques. Complete with short, informative profiles and useful contact details for the designers, as well as a listing of recommended shops, this publication offers a wealth of inspiring material and is a must for any aficionado of jewelry, design or craft.

The catalogues of the Paris Salons at the turn of the 19th to the 20th century provide a unique archive of illustrations of the decorative arts at a pivotal time in their development, the five previous volumes covering Jewellery, Furniture, Ceramics and Glass, and Objets d'Art.

The fabric designers of the Art Nouveau style who exhibited at the Paris Salons produced a remarkable oeuvre in printed and woven fabric, silk, lace, embroidery and tapestry.

Bookbinding was, and still is, a well-established French tradition, and bibliophiles commissioned unique bindings from artist-designers who, at the same time, were also creating and exhibiting non-bound leather goods - handbags, blotters, upholstery.

This volume is probably the most important in the series. Because of wear and tear, practically none of the approximate 1,200 textile and leatherware pieces illustrated have survived outside museum collections or appeared at auction, unlike the items covered by the earlier volumes.

This handy, portable version of the authoritative Universal Methods of Design provides the same thorough and critical presentation, updated and expanded to include 125 research methods, synthesis/analysis techniques, and research deliverables for human-centred design.

Each method of research is distilled down to its most powerful essence, in a format that will help individual practitioners, as well as design teams, select and implement the research methods best suited to their design culture within the constraints of their projects. This valuable guide: 

- Dismantles the myth that user research methods are complicated, expensive, and time-consuming
- Creates a shared meaning for cross-disciplinary design teams
- Illustrates methods with compelling visualizations and case studies
- Characterizes each method at a glance 

With the concise, accessible format of The Pocket Universal Methods of Design, you and your team will be designing in a completely new, more effective way.

The titles in the Rockport Universal series offer comprehensive and authoritative information and edifying and inspiring visual examples on multidisciplinary subjects for designers, architects, engineers, students, and anyone who is interested in expanding and enriching their design knowledge.

.”Захоплива книга... мало що залишається неперевернутим.”. — .”Найкращі мистецькі книги 2019 року.” Роберти Сміт, The New York Times

Це захопливе та повчальне дослідження кишень-зав'язок поєднує матеріальність та гендер, щоб надати нове розуміння соціальної історії повсякденного життя жінок — від герцогинь та сільських дворян до повій та праль — та дослідити їхні споживчі практики, товариськість, мобільність, приватність та ідентичність. Безліч доказів розкриває несподівані грані минулого, зосереджуючи увагу на історіях жінок.

.”Що особливо цікавить Берман та Феннето, так це те, як жінки всіх класів історично використовували ці кишені-зав'язки як додаткову частину тіла, щоб допомогти їм пройти через світ, який не був створений для них.”. — Кетрін Г'юз, The Guardian

Featuring the star pieces from fashion designer Yves Saint Laurent's art collection – including works by Cézanne, Picasso, Mondrian and Matisse

Yves Saint Laurent was more than a designer of clothing – he was, for many, one of the great style arbiters of the twentieth century. His talent made him the youngest and brightest star in the firmament of fashion, first with Christian Dior, who chose him as his successor, and later in his own right as the shy but daring creator of the modern woman’s wardrobe.

His private life was the subject of constant public fascination, and the homes that he shared with his lifelong friend and business partner Pierre Bergé were extraordinary private cocoons of taste and style. Ivan Terestchenko’s photographs – taken after Yves Saint Laurent’s death in 2008 – capture these exquisite surroundings and cultured luxury for the last time.

Yves Saint Laurent and Pierre Bergé amassed an exceptional collection of furniture and paintings over some forty years. It included important works by Picasso, Matisse and Mondrian, Old Master paintings by Goya, Ingres and Géricault, and masterpieces of furniture, sculpture and silver from the Renaissance to Art Deco.

Not a single piece from the collection was sold until the year following Saint Laurent’s death. A historic sale by auction at the Grand Palais in Paris became the stuff of legend months before it even took place.

This book, revealing a rare union of passion, taste and supreme connoisseurship, stands as a monument to two of the greatest taste-makers of our time.

About the Author:

Robert Murphy is Paris correspondent for American fashion and lifestyle magazines W and Women’s Wear Daily
Born in England and educated in France, Ivan Terestchenko read History of Art at the Ecole du Louvre and was a painter until the age of 30 when he switched to photography and landed his first assignment with French Vogue. He contributes to many international publications.

This book provides the first authorised account of the history of the finest diamond jewellery in the world. Published on the occasion of the Diamond Jubilee of H. M. Queen Elizabeth II, it tells the story of the magnificent royal inheritance of diamonds from the time of Queen Adelaide in the 1830s to the present day.

Illustrated with a wealth of archive materials as well as extensive new photography of the jewels, this important publication includes stones of international importance as well as items of great historic significance, and will be a standard work of reference on diamond jewellery for many years to come.

An important book on Shaker art and life, offering a fresh look at a style that has endured through centuries and continues to inspire designers and homeowners. This book presents the elegantly austere and simply styled objects of the Shakers in the context of their faith and community at Mount Lebanon, N.Y., the spiritual and administrative center of the Shaker world. Outstanding examples of furniture, textiles, tools, and other objects-drawn primarily from the collection of  Shaker Museum | Mount Lebanon-bring the fascinating world of the Shakers to life. The book also explores the equally compelling material culture of Sabbathday Lake in New Gloucester, Maine, the last active Shaker community, and how this group of Shakers continued to thrive while other Shaker communities elsewhere gradually disappeared.

Accompanying a major exhibition organized by the Farnsworth Art Museum, this book presents a new and authentic perspective on the Shaker community. Specially commissioned photography, archival imagery, essays by prominent scholars, and a firsthand interview with a member of the Sabbathday Lake Shaker community deepen our understanding of this influential movement and style.

About the Authors:

Michael K. Komanecky is chief curator at the Farnsworth Art Museum, in Rockland, Maine. Stephen J. Stein is a historian of American religion at the University of Indiana. Jerry V. Grant is the director of research and library services at the Shaker Museum. Michael S. Graham is the director of the Sabbathday Lake Shaker Village. Brother Arnold Hadd is a member of the Sabbathday Lake Shaker community. Leonard L. Brooks is the former director and David Stocks is the president of Shaker Museum | Mount Lebanon.
