Cartier epitomizes creativity and individuality in jewelry design. The 175 objects featured in this book exemplify Cartier’s inimitable talent and represent milestones in twentieth-century design.

These archetypes of excellence are important benchmarks in the history of world jewelry, and their relevance continues into the twenty-first century. The jeweled objects in this book are reproduced at actual size, and are accompanied by illustrations and detailed descriptions from Cartier’s vast archives in London, New York, and Paris. Six essays cover a broad range of topics from Cartier’s colorful history, including the influence of the Ballets Russes on Cartier’s forward-looking designs of 1910, the jeweler’s extraordinary technical and design prowess, and the important clients and collectors who wore Cartier’s most exquisite creations. This book features ingenious pieces that reveal how Cartier — by setting new aesthetic, ornamental, technical, and stylistic trends — is a pioneer in the field of jewelry design.

This catalog is an important reference for collectors, and includes previously unpublished photographs.

What is it that distinguishes a chair designed by an architect?
Why is it so tempting for an architect to have a chair in his or her portfolio?
Is it possible to use creative solutions interchangeably in both domains?

Chairs by Architects answers these and many other questions to show how qualities in the buildings by architects are also evident in their chair design: pieces of furniture, like manifestos, become signatures of architectural style.

The 55 architects include early modern architectural pioneers such as Otto Wagner, Charles Rennie Mackintosh, Antoni Gaudí and Walter Gropius, together with more recent modern masters such as Oscar Niemeyer, Santiago Calatrava, Zaha Hadid, Frank Gehry and Daniel Libeskind. The book contains interviews on Designing (in conversation with David Adjaye), Manufacturing (with David E. Bright, Knoll Inc.), Selling (with Zeev Aram), Collecting (with Richard Wright) and Preserving (with Susanne Graner, Vitra Design Museum).

This is essential reading for everyone concerned with design, architecture and the relationship between creators and their creations.

Стиль Шанель - непреходящая ценность, эталон высокой моды. Ее имя - синоним сдержанной элегантности и утонченного шика. Коко Шанель сыграла, пожалуй, главную роль в моде XX века. Карл Лагерфельд, нынешний ведущий дизайнер Дома Chanel, однажды сказал о Коко: "Она пережила всех". И оказался прав: творения Шанель, давным-давно ставшие классикой, до сих пор служат источником вдохновения для современных молодых дизайнеров. Жером Готье, собрав уникальные работы самых ярких фотографов минувшей эпохи и наших современников, показал эволюцию этого знаменитого стиля и его ключевых элементов - от маленького черного платья до знаменитого костюма Шанель.

For almost a century, the name of Chanel has been inextricably linked to elegance, modernity and fashion innovation. It was Chanel who single-handedly made striped jerseys and loose trousers chic, costume jewellery desirable, the little black dress the height of sophistication, and tweed suits a staple of every stylish woman's wardrobe.

In this beautifully illustrated book, dress historian Amy de la Haye celebrates Gabrielle Coco Chanel as the couturier who changed the way stylish women everywhere dress, then and now. She examines the creative output of this most famous of fashion houses, from its infancy in the 1920s to the present day as it continues to prosper under the direction of Karl Lagerfeld.
