Brooklyn: New Style
by
Liz Farrelly (Author)
/
Thames & Hudson (Editor)
Brooklyn is booming, and it is now home to some of the world's most radical design talent. Brooklyn: New Style provides an insider's look at these cutting-edge designers-in graphics, fashion, furniture, architecture, and other fields-who came to the area in search of space, artistic freedom, places to exhibit their work, and fellow artists with whom to collaborate. Priced out of Manhattan by high rents and exorbitant living costs, these young innovators settled in unexpected, out-of-the way neighborhoods like Williamsburg, Dumbo, Fort Greene, and Bushwick, moving Brooklyn to creative center stage in the process. This is the second in a series published by Booth-Clibborn Editions on cities or boroughs where young designers live and work, the first being Berliner Style, edited by Caroline Kurz. Filled with more than 350 full-color illustrations of off-the-wall projects by Fischer Spooner, Graphic Havoc, Made in USA, Milkcrate, Project Dragon, and 30 other designers, the book captures the energy and talent of these Brooklyn scene-makers. Interviews with the designers and informative captions add another dimension, exploring the social and economic context for this creative explosion.

Couture Interiors: Living With Fashion
by
Marnie Fogg (Author)
/
Laurence King Publishers (Editor)
Examining the imaginative and compelling way in which fashion has permeated 21st-century culture, this book considers the relationship between fashion on the catwalk and architecture, interiors, and products. Many fashion designers extend their aesthetic into interiors and products for the home as a natural progression from clothing the body. The home is now subject to the same directional trends as fashion, in part because so many designers are extending their practice to include interiors, as well as products, and accessories. The fusion between fashion and interiors has never been more relevant. The proliferation of ideas, the speed of manufacture, and an increasingly visually literate consumer, have all resulted in interiors being subject to the same desire for fashionability, innovation and change as fashion. This investigation of the hectic dissemination of trends takes the reader on an eclectic, adventurous excursion into living with fashion.

The Kitchen: Life World, Usage, Perspectives (Living Concepts)
by
Klaus Spechtenhauser (Editor)
/
Birkhäuser Basel (Editor)
DesignAddict review:
Architectural modernism was revolutionary when it first appeared in the 1920s, and its innovation showed the world just what twentieth-century design could bring. Living Modern is a grand showcase of classic homes by such design luminaries as Mies van der Rohe, Charles and Ray Eames, Alvar Aalto, Richard Neutra, and many more. With over 200 detailed photographs of both entirely new work and remodeled originals, as well as numerous historical images, the true trademarks of modernism and of each designer are revealed. Ranging from materials and color to lighting and floor plans, Living Modern is an excellent primer to modern home style from its inception to the timeless features applied to the interiors of today. - A. Rasmussen -
The kitchen is regaining its role as the central living space in home life. Since the 1990s the kitchen has moved into the fashion and design spotlight, and this publication now examines and reviews its significance in an architectural, cultural, social and economical context. The authors and contributors look at important developments and revolutionary kitchen concepts of the last decades including standardized kitchens and open kitchen living spaces; they also review design basics, current trends, the changing demands posed by patch-work families or single person households. Even culinary aspects are included. This is a book which should certainly have its place in every 21st century kitchen. Our new book series "Living concepts" presents clearly and concisely selected topics relating to aspects of the home. It is aimed at general readers as well as specialists, and edited by the ETH Wohnforum Zurich.
