Towards the end of the nineteenth century, the master jewelers of the Western world began to emerge as individual voices, each with a unique and recognizable accent. As a result, the celebrated designers whose work is featured in this book can be instantly identified.

Castellani, for example, is known for his nostalgic glances back at Etruscan gold work. Fabergé emphasized originality of design and the quality of craftsmanship rather than the intrinsic value of the materials used. Lalique was fascinated by the strange forms he adapted from nature. And the searching, critical eye of a Cartier or a Boucheron could lend chic to their beloved abstract patterns.

The magnificent illustrations offer faithful representations of extraordinary confections of gold, silver and platinum, gems cut and polished in every conceivable fashion, and enamels, translucent, opaque, or as clear as stained glass windows – all designed and made to enhance the charm and allure of the people fortunate enough to wear them.

In fifteen chapters written by leading experts in the field, the world of fine jewelry, including its social, aesthetic and business aspects from around 1850 to our own day is brought vividly to life.

Human factors research impacts everything from the height of kitchen counters to the placement of automobile pedals to a book′s type size. And in this updated and expanded version of the original landmark work, you′ll find the research information necessary to create designs that better accommodate human need.

Featuring more than 200 anthropometric drawings, this handbook is filled with all of the essential measurements of the human body and its relationship to the designed environment. You′ll also discover guidelines for designing for children and the elderly, for the digital workplace, and for ADA compliance.

Measurements are in both English and metric units.

After the 1897 Munich Glass Palace exhibition – when Jugendstil was ‘born’ in Germany – the Stuttgart publisher Julius Hoffmann jr. had the brilliant idea of collating the most interesting illustrations from leading international specialist journals (including Art et Décoration, l’Art décoratif moderne, Revue des Arts Décorativs, La Lorraine artiste, Magazine of Art, Art Journal, The Artist, The Studio, The House, De Woning, Tidskrift for Kunstindustri, Magyar Iparmüvészet) and publishing them in a book entitled ‘Der Moderne Stil’. He also included reproductions of objects exhibited at the Paris Salons, by the La Maison Moderne and Art Nouveau Bing galleries and by artists and makers.

The first magazine of ‘Der Moderne Stil’ [the modern style] was published in 1899; it would be followed until 1905 by 84 issues with several thousand illustrations. Thus an invaluable source of material on Jugendstil objects (with the names of their designers and makers), most of them unknown to this day, was created. We have put all issues into a single book, divided into sections on metal, ceramics, glass, furniture and jewellery.

With approx. 2.000 objects reproduced, this reprint contains a wealth of source material. Authentic, for the most part unknown, illustrations from the heyday of European Jugendstil/Art Nouveau, with all designer and maker names. An indispensable reference work for art historians, dealers, auctioneers and collectors.

As feminine-themed illustrations and decorations become more and more popular in our daily lives, this book showcases the work of talented artists around the world, as well as a collection of lifestyle and entertainment products. A bonus "Behind the Scenes" chapter offers a precious peek inside artists' studios and their creative process.

The New Age of Feminine Drawing demonstrates clearly how and why illustration in fashion has made an amazing comeback. Having virtually reached saturation point, photography is no longer the all-powerful medium of creativity, and has once again given way to the age old art of drawing.

The drawings featured in this exciting new title represent many different styles and a broad cross section of artists. All works featured have one thing in common: they possess a uniquely feminine power of seduction.

Categories covered include magazine covers, posters, cosmetic advertisements, lifestyle advertisements and entertainment products. Artists featured include Akari Inogouchi, Annika Wester, Carine Brancowitz, Cecilia Carlstedt, Cedric Rivrain, Christina K. Coco, Elisa Johns, Laura Laine, Lotie, Maren Esdar, Jarno Kettunen and more.

The New Big Book of Color is the second volume of its kind. The Big Book of Color in Design became a top seller in the graphics world. As we approached the new book, our goal was to make an even better volume. One change you will notice is that color formulae shown for each piece now includes not only CMYK for printed pieces, but also RGB for Internet use. So, for the designer who sees a great color combination, and wants something "just like that," the process is simple: the color mix is right there for you to use. Another addition to this book is a brief commentary on each piece. The more experienced designer may well find the notes interesting, but they are aimed at younger designers and are a learning tool a couple of steps beyond the classroom.

Fusing classical principles with today’s sensibilities, this book offers six takes on the twenty-first-century dandy.

Each section features a specially commissioned 16-page fashion shoot by a rising star of fashion photography and eight pages of bespoke inspiration, instruction, interviews and insight. The reference section has a tailor’s glossary and contact information.

Whether your taste runs to the classic or the modern, the English dandy sets the pattern for the twenty-first-century male.

After a number of years working in the London offices of the British Council, Alice Cicolini is now based in Delhi, where she heads the Arts and Culture Department of the British Council in India.

The New Garconne is a non-prescriptive guide for today’s modern, independent and stylish woman. It espouses a grown-up style and attitude with a masculine-feminine aesthetic, where culture, history, beauty, intelligence, feminism, quality and taste are celebrated.

Women who embody the look include Katharine Hepburn, Andree Putman, Lauren Hutton, Janelle Monáe, Phoebe Philo, Ines de la Fressange, Tilda Swinton, Stella Tennant and Joan Didion.

This visually inspiring book explores the look, history and essence of gentlewoman style. It also features profiles of modern women who typify the style, alongside beautifully photographed and curated imagery and how-to-get-the-look information.

A passion for Japanese culture swept Europe, and this landmark publication opened the eyes of the world to the grace and beauty of Japanese design.
