Anni Albers and Ancient American Textiles: From Bauhaus to Black Mountain
by
Virginia Gardner Troy (Author)
/
Ashgate Publishing (Editor)
Anni Albers was a founding member of the Bauhaus weaving workshop. Her teachers and colleagues at the Bauhaus included Itten, Kandinsky and Klee, whose intellectual study of "primitive" art proved crucial both in raising the status of that art, and in establishing a pattern for the discussion of modern art. Albers' own investigation of the techniques and abstract designs of ancient American weavers led her to argue that their skill was unsurpassed in the modern world, and to employ those techniques in her own work. Virginia Gardner Troy continues Albers' story beyond the Nazi closure of the Bauhaus to her emigration to America and subsequent association with the Black Mountain College. Extensively illustrated, this book offers an insight into Anni Albers' work and the history of the re-evaluation of ancient skills and techniques in weaving.

Ron Arad
by
Deyan Sudjic (Author)
/
Laurence King (Editor)
Ron Arad's design work has the energy of modern art - that's why, since opening his workshop in the late 1970s, he has become one of the leading designers of his generation. By recycling ancient car seats to make the Rover chair, and using scaffolding to create a series of remarkable beds, Ron Arad caught the imagination of a generation that had previously taken no interest whatever in furniture design. Also an accomplished industrial designer, his innovative creations in extruded plastic and aluminum are always in high demand. This book features some of his most outstanding work including the Adidas sport cafes, the evolution of the Bookworm installed at the Cartier Foundation and the Tel Aviv Opera House. This is the first comprehensive monograph to be published on Ron Arad.

Ron Arad Talks to Matthew Collings About Designing Chairs, Vases, Buildings and ...
by
Matthew Collings (Author)
/
Phaidon Press (Editor)
Ron Arad is one of the most successful and creative contemporary designers. He was born in Tel Aviv in 1951 and, in 1973, moved to London to study at the AA School of Architecture. In the early 1980s he established, with Caroline Thorman, One Off Ltd., a design studio and workshop, followed in 1989 by Ron Arad Associates, an architecture and design practice. In 1997 Arad was appointed Professor of Furniture Design at the Royal College of Art in London and two years later became Professor of Industrial Design there. Ron Arad works for some of the most important furniture manufacturers, such as Cappellini, Kartell, Moroso and Vitra. Besides his activity as a product designer, he also works in the field of architecture and his projects include the Tel Aviv Opera in Israel. The text of this book is an interview by Matthew Collings, a contemporary art critic, who, as he points out, doesn't know much about design but wants to understand more. The conversation between Collings and Arad starts with the question: what is design? From this first, basic question they embark on a journey that touches the most important art and design issues, inside and outside Ron Arad's work. Stimulated by the Matthew Collings' questions, Ron Arad goes through the main aspects of his work, explaining some of his projects in detail and talking about his relationship with design, architecture and art in general. The interview is divided into 10 sections on 10 different subjects and illustrated with many of Ron Arad's projects, accompanied by narrative captions that explain their history and their main features and characteristics.

François Bauchet
by
Francois Bauchet (Author)
/
Dis Voir (Editor)
Fran ois Bauchet's furniture objects stand in a frontier between functionality and the work of art, and raise questions about the importance of the presence and material reality of things in a world dedicated to the image. Bauchet has been working in this mode since as early as 1979, and in the eighties he created a great number of pieces for art institutionsUfor example, he designed furniture for the Jeu de Paume museum in FranceUas well as numerous furniture models. He has progressed from using lacquered wood, to working with resin, and now uses raw fabrics and ceramics to create furniture that challenges our preconceptionsUbut always with elegance and subtlety. In addition to beautiful reproductions of his works, this volume contains an interview with Bauchet conducted by Claire Foyalle, a design historian, and an essay by Jacques Bonnaval, Director of the Ocole des Beaux-Arts in Paris and editor of Azimuts magazine.

In 1949, architect, sculptor, painter, graphic artist, and proponent of Concrete Art, Max Bill curated an exhibition whose aim was to instigate a fundamental discussion of the forms and content of product design. The exhibition's impact extended around the world, influencing the Swiss Werkbund's "Good Design" campaign and the founding of the Ulm School of Arts and Crafts.

Constantin Boym - America
by
Constantin Boym (Author)
/
mudac (Editor)
/
Birkhäuser Basel (Editor)
America gibt uns die Sicht des russischen Immigranten Constantin Boym auf seine neue Heimat: Amerika, sein Lebensstil und seine Landschaften bedeuten für den Designer und Künstler eine unerschöpfliche Inspirationsquelle ? nicht das Amerika der Klischees, sondern das Amerika der kleinen Details, die es auszeichnen, der Leuchtreklamen vor den Läden, der Objekte, Möbel, Verkaufskataloge etc. Boym hat aber auch einen kritischen und humorvollen Blick auf dieses so heterogene Land. Daraus schöpft er seine alltäglichen Gegenstände. Boym ist ein außergewöhnlicher Designer, der nicht zögert, Objekte in Eigenproduktion herzustellen, wenn er sie für wichtig hält.
