This book is published with three unique covers.  Customers will receive one of the covers at random when they purchase the book.

This magnificent survey is the first and only book that Klein has written and compiled himself and is illustrated with era-defining photographs by the most distinguished names in fashion photography, from Irving Penn and Richard Avedon to Bruce Weber, and Patrick Demarchelier — among others. In it, the world’s most iconic models like Christy Turlington and Kate Moss, are captured in images that would define their careers, and remain indelible to the consumer. Accompanied by private insights and behind-the-scenes stories that only he could tell, every image has been chosen by Calvin Klein to narrate his evolution as a designer — from couture to jeans, underwear, and fragrance — all categories in which he redefined what was chic and essential.

As an icon of minimalism, modernism, sexual provocation, and androgyny, Calvin Klein’s first book will find broad appeal with anyone interested in design, fashion, or photography. Few names in fashion are as recognizable as that of Calvin Klein.

This unique book presents a stunning archive of images that reveal his timeless influence as a designer. From founding the company in New York in 1968, he went on to change the face of fashion, bringing his visionary minimalism to the fore and defining looks for generations. Divided by theme, with characteristic simplicity and sophistication, each of the three sections in this volume looks at one singular element of Klein’s approach. In Provocative, we see the most controversial of his campaigns, from Brooke Shields’s infamous teenage portraits to the seductive photography of underwear collections. In Minimalist, we understand the simplicity, refinement, and elegance in every collection. And in the final section, we read in the designer’s own words the insights behind the campaigns and the secrets behind the successes.

A monumental volume devoted to one of the world’s largest and most spectacular collections of Cézannes.

The Barnes Foundation’s holdings of works by the renowned Post-Impressionist Paul Cézanne (1839–1906) — sixty-one oils on canvas and eight works on paper — are among the most significant in the world. The Barnes Foundation was established in 1922 by scientist, entrepreneur, and educator Dr. Albert C. Barnes, a passionate supporter of European modernism. His virtually unrivaled collection, which can only be viewed at the Barnes Foundation, also includes exceptional paintings by Pierre-Auguste Renoir, Henri Matisse, Pablo Picasso, and many others.

Beginning in 1912, Barnes acquired works by Cézanne from major Paris dealers such as Paul Durand-Ruel and soon ranked among the artist’s most prominent collectors. At the time, this expressed a pioneering taste that Barnes shared with only a small group of enthusiasts, even though Cézanne had been posthumously hailed as a father of modern art at the turn of the twentieth century. The foundation’s impressive holdings of Cézannes — never before published in a single study in their entirety — span every period of the artist’s career and include his largest rendition of The Card Players and one of the three versions of The Large Bathers, one of his signal testaments.

This lavishly illustrated landmark volume is both a work on Cézanne and his time, and an impetus for further study of an artist whose oeuvre is at once luminous, austere, challenging, and deeply confounding.

British designer David Hicks (1929–1998) wowed the English decorating world with his bold geometric prints, electrifying color combinations, and quirky mix of antique and contemporary furniture.

Thanks to his prodigious talents, his gift for publicity, and his connection to the royal family through his wife, Lady Pamela Mountbatten (cousin of Prince Philip), Hicks attracted an A-list clientele. For decades, Hicks documented every salient moment of his life in scrapbooks, amassing 24 volumes filled with press clippings, invitations, swatches of his signature textiles, sketches of interiors, magazine articles on his projects, and hundreds of photographs, mainly family snapshots but also his own photos of people like Jackie Kennedy, Grace Kelly, and Andy Warhol. Many of the pages, now thumbed and foxed, are laid out in a collage style, and several are embellished with drawings and notes, revealing Hicks’s thoughts and sense of whimsy. Here, his son, Ashley Hicks, has chosen more than 325 of the best pages — providing not just a window into the extraordinary world of David Hicks but also a fascinating time capsule.

Нове видання еталонної роботи Дітера Рамса.

Небагато дизайнів продуктів мають таку стійкість, як творіння Дітера Рамса. Майже все, створене найвпливовішим дизайнером двадцятого століття сьогодні вважається класикою. Це нове та переглянуте видання Less but Better ще раз показує, чому підхід Дітера Рамса до дизайну буде актуальним у осяжному майбутньому.

Ідеї про те, чого можна і потрібно досягти за допомогою гарного дизайну, постійно змінюються внаслідок культурного та технологічного розвитку. Однак Дітер Рамс запропонував десять принципів, які відстоюють пуристський, майже непомітний дизайн. Сьогодні ці принципи все ще вважаються позачасовими основами теорії та практики дизайну.

Менше, але краще не має на меті бути повною документацією про роботу Дітера Рамса, а також не претендує на повну історію компанії Braun. У книзі скоріше досліджуються ідеї, критерії та методи, що лежать в основі творінь Рамса, і розкривається, як мінлива культура виробництва продукції призвела до стандартів універсального дизайну. З його роздумів про етику та цінності дизайну ми можемо сформулювати чітку парадигму майбутнього дизайну, тому що один принцип залишився незмінним протягом багатьох років: менше означає просто краще.

Про авторів:

Дітер Рамс, який народився у Вісбадені в 1932 році, спочатку вивчав архітектуру. Його багато хто вважає одним із найвидатніших промислових дизайнерів двадцятого століття. За понад 40 років, які він провів, працюючи у виробника електроприладів Braun, Рамс створив безліч новаторських творінь, які й сьогодні продовжують впливати на дизайнерів у всьому світі. Він також створив нове усвідомлення соціальної функції дизайну в Німеччині.

Джо Клатт є визнаним знавцем і колекціонером продукції Braun. Багато років він працював у журналі Design+Design і був видавцем багатьох робіт, у тому числі першого видання Less but Better.

Esquire. Ford Motors. Burton Snowboards. The Obama Administration. While all of these brands are vastly different, they share at least one thing in com­mon: a teeny, little bit of Aaron James Draplin. Draplin is one of the new school of influential graphic designers who combine the power of design, social media, entrepreneurship, and DIY aesthetic to create a successful business and way of life.

Pretty Much Everything is a mid-career survey of work, case studies, inspiration, road stories, lists, maps, how-tos, and advice. It includes examples of his work — posters, record covers, logos — and presents the process behind his design with projects like Field Notes and the “Things We Love” State Posters. Draplin also offers valuable advice and hilarious commentary that illustrates how much more goes into design than just what appears on the page. With Draplin’s humor and pointed observations on the contemporary design scene, Draplin Design Co. is the complete package for the new generation of designers.

About the Author:

Aaron James Draplin is the founder of the Draplin Design Co., based in Portland, Oregon. He has created print, identity, and illustration work for Timberline Lodge, Woolrich, Patagonia, Nike, Mark Maron, and Sasquatch Festival, among others.

Renowned designers Charles and Ray Eames are among the greatest designers of the 20th century. They are, of course, most well known for their groundbreaking and iconic furniture designs, but they also created important, creative, experimental, and beautiful work in the areas of architecture, exhibit design, textile design, product design, graphic design, toy design, film, and photography. The Eameses distinctly postwar American enthusiasm and openness to the world around them gave them free license to explore work in many disciplines. This book celebrates the seamlessness and fluidity in which they operated as both a husband-and-wife team and as designers unrestricted by traditionally professional boundaries. They brought a sense of innocence and playfulness to the design process, as well as a tremendous love and discipline in all they created in many different fields and mediums. Augmenting the abundant visual images, Eames Demetrios Charles s grandson and the director of the Eames Office has written chapter essays and an insightful introduction.

Over 300 works from the beloved early 20th-century illustrator and graphic designer

The highly original and unique art of Escher, one of the most celebrated artists of the 20th century

Maurits Cornelis Escher was born in 1898 in the Netherlands and died there in 1972. In 1922 he first visited Italy (Tuscany, Umbria and Liguria) and in 1923 arrived in Rome, where he lived for twelve years, until 1935. The Roman period had a strong influence on all his later work, which saw him prolific in the production of lithographs and etchings especially of landscapes, views, architecture and views of that ancient and Baroque Rome that he loved to investigate in its most intimate dimension, that of the night, by the dim light of a lantern. Restless, reserved and undoubtedly brilliant, Escher in his famous engravings and lithographs created a unique, imaginative, impossible world where art, mathematics, science, physics and design converge.

Published on the exhibition in Rome, the volume gathers over 300 works, including new acquisitions and many of his most notable pieces that have made him famous all over the world, documenting the story of the Dutch artist’s genius with the most iconic works of his production such as Hand with Reflecting Sphere (1935), Bond of Union (1956), Metamorphosis II (1939), Day and Night (1938) and the Emblemata series, which belong to the common imagination referable to the great artist. The book also features the complete series of 12 Roman Nocturnes produced in 1934. An artist discovered relatively recently, Escher is loved by those who know art, but also by those who are passionate about mathematics, geometry, science, design, and graphics. A wide range of themes converge in his works, and for this reason in the panorama of art history he represents a uniqueness.

Улюблена монографія Фейдона про легендарного італійського дизайнера та архітектора Етторе Сотцасса

Перевидання цієї високо оціненої назви демонструє постійне захоплення як шанувальників, так і колекціонерів життям і творчістю італійського архітектора та дизайнера Ettore Sottsass. Роботи дизайнера однаково популярні та впливові, від його дизайнів для Olivetti (таких як вражаюча яскраво-червона ручна друкарська машинка Valentine з її геніальним футляром) до постмодерністського блиску роботи Memphis Group, заснованої Sottsass у Мілані в 1980 році.

Наповнена прекрасними зображеннями, взятими з великих архівів Sottsass, а також малюнками та ескізами з незліченних альбомів дизайнера, книга досліджує всю його кар’єру з 1940-х до 2000-х років, охоплюючи все: від його архітектурних проектів і дизайну продуктів до його кераміки, скульптури та графіки.

The first illustrated monograph presenting the work of British designer Lee Broom, founder of the eponymous brand and celebrated for his stylish, contemporary take on classic design products.

The book explores the many influences and ideas behind Broom’s portfolio of more than 100 products as well as highlights the way in which he showcases his work through original and engaging installations, exhibitions, and films. Lee Broom furniture, lighting, and accessories, some of which is now held in the permanent collections of cultural institutions in London and New York, is at once familiar and yet feels new — a signature skill of reinterpretation and the mix of classicism and modernity.

The book is presented thematically in four chapters, each relating to a defining aspect of Broom’s design personality. “Art Form” explores Broom’s relationship with architecture and silhouette, as well as the way in which he works with form, balance, and symmetry. “History Repeats Itself” delves into Broom’s fascination with historical starting points and reinvention and how techniques of the past can inform the future. “Material Boy” focuses on Broom’s meticulous approach to the process of making, his clever use of materials, and the art of collaboration. Finally, “Drama of Design” is a study of Broom’s background in theater and fashion and how both have permeated his creative thinking and the way he presents his work as immersive experiences.

In 1949 Francis Bacon found his subject - the human body - and from then on it remained his principal theme. But he did not paint from life. Instead he appropriated images from the mass media that he manipulated into his "studies." This book presents over 200 of these documents, about which Bacon was secretive but which, it emerges, were integral to his creative process.

Culled from thousands of pieces of original material found in his studio, including newspapers, magazines, books, and photographs, these items have each been exhaustively and minutely researched, providing for the first time comprehensive details of the artist's sources. Previously unseen, these visually thrilling documents demonstrate Bacon's tactile, visceral relationship with his sources and his unerring eye for seeking out visual stimulation in the most unexpected places.

This unique selection of material from Bacon's sudio - meticulously documented and compellingly presented - will provide an invaluable insight into both the artist's work and his working methods.

Це перероблене та розширене друге видання ‘Hey: Design & Illustration’ містить багато нових проектів, а також роботи та співпраці, здійснені в рамках розширення Hey у світ роздрібної торгівлі.

Hey — одне з найінноваційніших дизайнерських агентств останніх років, і незалежно від того, в якому середовищі чи сфері вони працюють, очевидно, що ми всі відкриваємо для себе групу креативників, які чітко поєднують обидві сфери дизайну та ілюстрації з винахідливістю, теплотою та дотепністю. Адже назва «Hey» — це не лише назва компанії, а й етос — посмішка, сюрприз, приємний шок для системи — і кожна форма комунікації, яка виходить з їхньої студії, дотримується цього. Це почуття веселощів стало синонімом їхніх дизайнерських проектів, ілюстрацій і навіть їхнього робочого середовища.

Робота та супровідний текст у цій книзі, що охоплюють таких клієнтів, як Monocle, Paypal, Nokia та Uniqlo, а також рекламні матеріали та ілюстрації, були відібрані для того, щоб продемонструвати цю універсальність та дати уявлення про те, як народжуються ідеї студії та вирішуються її проблеми.

Довгоочікувана друга монографія іспанського художника та дизайнера-візіонера.

Ласкаво просимо до прекрасного світу Хайме Айона: таємничі керамічні створіння, вишукано виготовлені предмети та теплі пастельні кольори його середземноморського дому. Ця книга є збіркою відомих робіт Хайме Айона, що досліджують його стосунки з матеріалами, теорію кольору, техніку, натхнення та творчий процес.

Стиль та бачення Хайме асоціюються з найпрестижнішим дизайном інтер'єрів для готелів, ресторанів та галерей. Розмиваючи межі між мистецтвом, декором та дизайном, творіння Айона сповнені грайливості та оптимізму. Хайме Айон є продовженням надзвичайно успішної книги гештальтена «Роботи».

The discovery of the Oberstein company Jakob Bengel as a prominent jewellery manufacturer has liberated Oberstein from the stigma of being the “underdog” of the German jewellery industry. Wilhelm Lindemann and Christianne Weber-Stöber document in this current study its independent contribution to the evolution of early German jewellery design between 1910 and 1933 using Bengel as an example.

Highlights from the collection of Drs. Margarete and Heribert Händel, hitherto unpublished pieces of Bengel jewellery, and contemporary designs attest to the exceptional level of production as part of the reformist ideas of the Deutscher Werkbund, the German Schools of Art and Crafts, and the Bauhaus.

With this book, the industrial monument Historische Uhrketten und Bijouteriewarenfabrik Jakob Bengel, Idar-Oberstein together with the Jakob Bengal Foundation marks the factory’s 150-year anniversary.

The definitive celebration of the work, life and times of Sir Kenneth Grange (born 1929), one of the most revered, innovative and influential industrial designers of the modern age

'You may not know the name Kenneth Grange, but you'll almost certainly know his work. He has designed just about everything' The Guardian

The work of renowned design pioneer Sir Kenneth Grange (born 1929) has touched the lives of almost every consumer worldwide and has had a lasting influence on today’s younger designers, from Sir Jonathan Ive, Jasper Morrison and Marc Newson to Thomas Heatherwick and the founding brothers of Joseph Joseph.

For decades, Grange’s iconic products – including the InterCity 125 train for British Rail, the TX1 London black taxi, domestic appliances for Kenwood, lighting for Anglepoise, cameras for Kodak, pens for Parker and post boxes for Royal Mail, among many others – have been at the centre of tastemaking and key to the establishment of Britain’s worldwide post-war reputation as an influential hub of design excellence.

Based on a series of in-depth discussions between Grange and design specialist Lucy Johnston, and her exclusive access to his extensive archive, this illuminating book explores Grange’s biography and work as seen through his eyes, illustrated with sketches, letters, scale models and product photographs. The story is set in its social, political and creative context, introducing the figures who have inspired, commissioned and worked alongside Grange as his designs transformed Britain and the world and helped to shape our modern-day consumer culture.
