Dozens of projects, complete with commentary, full-color photos, and plans. Renowned architects, artists and designers convey their ideas by way of new techniques and approaches and previously unexplored materials. Their strength lies in the imagination of their designers, which blurs the borders of what can and can’t be done. These projects demonstrate how ephemeral architecture can reach out and surprise us. They draw attention to the role creativity plays in events and introduce elements that may become a source of inspiration for professional of the future.

Following the success of the first volume, Creative Island 2 takes an entirely fresh look at the extraordinary range and quality of design in Britain today, including work from 25 design disciplines – from architecture and engineering to fashion and jewellery; from new media and graphics to theatre and retail design, and many more.

Showing more than 100 recent projects, and also featuring design ideas and visuals of work that is yet to be realized, each one tells the designers’ stories of their work in their own words.

Through a series of themes, John Sorrell explores the relationships between different projects and the way in which different disciplines cross-fertilize, which, he argues, is the key reason for the current wealth of inspired design from the United Kingdom.

John Sorrell was Chairman of the UK Design Council from 1994 to 2000 and Chairman of design and identity consultancy Newell and Sorrell later Interbrand Newell and Sorrell from 1976 to 2000. He was awarded the Royal Society of Arts bicentenary medal in 1998. Today, John and Frances Sorrell run The Sorrell Foundation which they set up with the aim of inspiring creativity in young people.

Навіть у часи економічних труднощів парфуми залишаються доступною розкішшю, відомою своєю здатністю не лише приємно пахнути, а й чудово почуватися. Жоден жіночий туалетний столик чи шафка у ванній кімнаті не обходяться без хоча б одного флакона.

Cult Perfumes – це перша книга, яка досліджує найексклюзивніші парфумерні бутики, що виробляють одні з найчарівніших ароматів світу.

From Glam through Punk to New Wave, this collection of over 200 rare rock posters from the 1970s celebrates a decade's music and design. David Bowie's mask and lipstick were the essence of glam, the spirit of punk was embodied by the rips in the Sex Pistols Union Jack, while the Clash posing in front of Camden Lock shouted urbanism and decay. The posters speak directly to the viewer, communicating the style and content of the music. Many are now iconic images: the haunted, sunken-eyed Lou Reed on the front of Transformer, the lightning-struck face of David Bowie on Aladdin Sane, the power and anger in London Calling's smashed guitar, Adam Ant's white stripe and piercing eyes in King of the Wild Frontiers, and John Lydon's psychotic stare for Pretty Vacant.

These dazzling artworks are presented here together for the first time, accompanied by an entertaining and insightful commentary by pop-culture aficionados Alwyn Turner and Roger Crimlis. With the aid of personal interviews with stars, artists, photographers and fly-posting Mafiosi, they reveal the unknown story behind the posters featured and cart the music and times that inspired a generation.

This book is for anyone who has ever blue tacked a poster to their bedroom wall.

Bands featured include: Marc Bolan, Iggy Pop, Ian Dury, David Bowie, Sex Pistols, The Clash, Blondie, Adam Ant, Lou Reed, Malcolm McLaren, Brian Ferry, Alice Cooper, X-ray Spex, Bow Wow Wow, The Only Ones

Retail merchandising is not just about garments hanging on a rail in isolation or displaying items on shelves

Leading fashion retailers and luxury lifestyle stores now rely heavily on conceptual interior and space design to reflect the whole image and philosophy of their label or brand, not just to showcase their collections. The connection between store space and product is organic one defines and enhances the other. Curated focuses on the current minimalist, gallery/store trend in commercial design and decoration, and its increasing presence in new shopping spaces.

Contemporary boutiques, bookshops, bars and concept stores now seek to create a unique environment where innovative minimal design, art, lighting, styling and music are as much of an integral part of the shopping experience as the merchandise itself.

Abstract art pieces and objects are juxtaposed with clothes, interacting in a seamless aesthetic harmony.

An exquisite visual reference book of some of the most cutting-edge in-store spaces across the globe, this book presents innovative retailing ideas and minimalist inspirations from the hottest international design studios such as the conceptual Phillip 3.1 store in Seoul, Camper in London, Issey Miyake in Shibuya, Swarovski in Ginza, Merci Pop-up store, Aesop in Singapore, the uber-minimalist Muji in Milan and so much more. Here visual merchandising is taken to a whole new level, elevating the products into objects of beauty and works of art and blurring the boundaries between fashion and design.

Customizing is hot. Everything can be customized, from pimped cars to retro furniture. This major trend is especially popular in footwear. Customizing your own shoes is a way of stepping out of the crowd, of showing your personality. Just about every sneaker brand has found a way to put street art into its products; rain boots have never been more hip; and there are even customizing festivals and exhibitions. Showcasing the work of 150 artists and illustrators who have been invited to show/create customized shoes, the book will appeal not only to sneaker freaks, fashion fetishists and trend watchers, but also to the graphic design and art audience. The text examines the trend and asks: How did it start? What materials do the artists use? There are also tips and tricks on how to create your own unique shoes.
