'One of the most fascinating industrial designers in Europe' - Sony. Industrial designer Jane Worthington (1969, UK) graduated from the highly acclaimed De Monfort University in 1990 and immediately moved to Holland to join Philips Design where she remained until 1995. During that period, she worked with Alexandro Mendini at his studio in Milan on important design projects such as Television at the Crossroads and the Cafe for the Domotechnica Fair for the Philips-Alessi line. She was also responsible for the design of the complete headphone range for which she received a design prize for the sbc333 headphone series. After 1995, Worthington gradually moved her design emphasis away from electronic goods to furniture and currently works for leading international manufacturers in Switzerland, the Netherlands and Belgium. Functional, innovative and sculptural figuration are key features to her award winning work for the Sede which has been included in the "International Design Yearbook 2003". Her work has been exhibited worldwide (Pompidou Centre in Paris, Magna Pars in Milan, Evoluon in Eindhoven, MAK in Vienna, DAZ in Berlin, The National Gallery, Prague). In "Designing Life", Jane Worthington not only showcases her creations, but takes the reader on a tour throughout her house, talks about her sources of inspiration and gives tips regarding design, decorating and even designing food. It is an intimate book that gives a inside view in the world of a top designer.

Originating from Japan's Edo period (1615-1867), tansu refers mostly to wooden cabinets, boxes and chests. The gifted creators of this art were deservedly esteemed by Japanese society, leaving a rich and influential legacy. Their work was almost anonymous, though, and the history has remained in the shadows - until now. Japanese Cabinetry: The Art and Craft of Tansu is the first truly definitive volume on tansu, giving voice to the long-overlooked craftsmen and overdue respect for the craft. This book provides a broad representation of cabinetry designs along with contextual history, gleaning insights from the cabinetry itself. From trunks with wheels to shipboard safes, from kitchen cupboards to clothing chests, tansu were the receptacles of an age of economic expansion. Japanese Cabinetry chronicles not only the physical characteristics and details of tansu, but also the historical eras and societal factors that influenced the craft.

Основний огляд японських дизайнерів, ремісників, виробників і технологій, які сформували світ сучасного дизайну

Відданість ремеслу та найвища якість виробництва були невід’ємною частиною культури та повсякденного життя Японії протягом століть. Для японців концепція дизайну не обмежується функціональністю чи матеріальністю, а повністю пов’язана з давньою культурою та ритуалами. У цьому сенсі стілець – це набагато більше, ніж те, на чому ви сидите, чашка – це більше, ніж те, з чого ви п’єте: ці об’єкти потрібно розмірковувати, торкатися до них і пестити.

Коли масове виробництво набуло широкого поширення в післявоєнний період, між Японією та Заходом почали відбуватися захоплюючі міжкультурні обміни. Це породило не лише позачасові предмети надзвичайної краси та користі, але й інновації в матеріалах, формах і технологіях. Далеко за межі ікон японського дизайну – ідеально зваженої пляшки соєвого соусу Kikkoman, табурета-метелика Янагі, Sony Walkman – продукти та предмети, які з’явилися в країні протягом останніх семи десятиліть, деякі з яких були широко експортовані, викликають насолоду та захоплення. В останні роки нове покоління дизайнерів – Nendo, Yoshioka – вивели японську творчість на абсолютно нову територію, переосмисливши саме значення дизайну.

Дотепер не було зроблено жодних спроб представити повний огляд японського дизайну. У цьому томі представлено понад вісімдесят дизайнерів, сотні об’єктів і внески як японських, так і західних експертів з дизайну. Цей том стане остаточною роботою на цю тему на багато років вперед.

Японский художник учится рисовать одновременно с обучением письму. Он не сидит напротив модели или объекта природы и не стремится представить его таким, каким он ему кажется; он учится писать многочисленные сложные иероглифы своего языка путем постоянного повторения, таким образом, приобретая умение изображать некоторые узоры и традиционные формы, долгое время копируя принятые модели, передаваемые из поколения в поколение. Хотя такой творческий метод и не позволяет достигнуть той высокой степени мастерства, какого можно было бы добиться при тщательном изучении природы, но предоставляет мастеру декоративные возможности при создании рисунков, в которых японские художники обладают непревзойденным талантом.

Альбом содержит предисловие на английском, испанском, немецком, итальянском, французском, китайском и японском языках. В издание вошли прекрасные японские мотивы, которые можно использовать как для создания самостоятельных работ, так и для вдохновения. На прилагаемом CD-диске все иллюстрации выполнены в формате с высоким разрешением, они готовы для использования в профессиональной печати и Web-дизайне.
