Sumptuously illustrated with over 1,000 illustrations and written by one of the world’s leading experts, Art Deco Complete will be the definitive work on the subject for many years to come. In the most comprehensive account of the decorative arts of the Art Deco period ever assembled, Alastair Duncan celebrates the rich variety of form and diverse international roots that have made it a perennial favourite of collectors and a constant source of inspiration for designers. Straddling two World Wars and the Great Depression, ushering in the Jazz Age and the era of the automobile and skyscraper, and shaping everything from the Golden Gate Bridge to the humble desk lamp, the story of Art Deco is the story of our modern world.

Chairs displayed on their own as pure form An overview of the 20th century More than any other piece of furniture, the chair has been subjected to the wildest dreams of the designers. The particular curve of a backrest, or the twist of a leg, the angle of a seat or the color of the entire artifact all reflect the stylistic consciousness of each era. From Gerrit Rietveld and Alvar Aalto to Verner Panton to Eva Zeisel, from Art Nouveau to International Style, from Pop Art to Postmodernism, the phenomenon of the chair is so complex that it requires a reference work as comprehensive as this to do it full justice. They are all here: Thonet’s bentwood chairs and Hoffmann’s sitting-machines, Marcel Breuer’s Wassily chair and Ron Arad’s avant-garde armchairs.

Książka wydawnictwa TASCHEN o niezwykłym, współczesnym odrodzeniu ponowanie docenionego stylu Tiki. Fenomenowi temu przygląda się największy jego znawca, Sven A. Kirsten. Jak pokazuje on w swej barwnej, wnikliwej, z temperamentem napisanej publikacji, styl Tiki, niemal całkowicie wyparty ze świadomości Amerykanów, jako unikalne zjawisko na mapie kultury masowej zaistniał dopiero w ostatnich latach.
Na powstanie atrakcyjnego w formie, funkcjonalnego, ergonomicznego i bezpiecznego mebla składa się wysiłek wielu osób pracujących w interdyscyplinarnych zespołach. Pierwsze kontakty projektantów, konstruktorów i technologów podczas definiowania założeń projektowych nowego produktu, z powodu odrębności wykształcenia, prowadzą czasem do wzajemnego niezrozumienia i uporczywego trzymania się własnych koncepcji. Takie podejście istotnie ogranicza pasję twórczego poszukiwania rozwiązań satysfakcjonujących wszystkich członków zespołu projektowego.
