This lavish volume provides an overview of the fifty-year career and the highly innovative and creative work of Louis Comfort Tiffany (1848-1933). The inventor of Favril Glass, an opalescent glass with deep, glowing color that far surpassed, in quality and beauty, all existing techniques, Tiffany was one of the most original and influential designers and America's leading exponent of Art Nouveau. Tiffany Studios, founded in 1889, were well known for their use of sensuous, organic, natural and floral forms. Tiffany's iridescent colored vases and his lampshades with their haunting colors became extremely popular and sought after the world over. Although known primarily as a glass artist, Tiffany was also involved in interior design, furniture, rugs, ceramics, mosaics, jewelry, bronzes, desk sets, mirrors and more. He decorated the White House, as well as the homes of Mark Twain, Cornelius Vanderbilt, Andrew Carnegie and others. With some 400 color plates, text by Jacob Baal-Teshuva, a documentary index, and an illustrated biography/bibliography, Louis Comfort Tiffany pays homage to the brilliant life's work of the man who revolutionized both the art and technique of stained glass.

A survey of the world's most innovative retail architecture and design. Raul A Barreneche A survey of 24 of the world's most innovative new retail stores from around the world by renowned architects such as Frank Gehry, Herzog + de Meuron, Rem Koolhaas and Renzo Piano Documents a wide variety of projects, from flagship stores for luxury brands to eclectic boutiques, department stores, shopping centres and supermarkets Each project is presented in depth with superior colour photographs of exteriors and interiors, plans and drawings, and descriptive text by a widely published architecture critic Includes projects in London, Paris, New York, Los Angeles, Tokyo, Prague, So Paulo, Austria, Germany and The Netherlands In the decades since the advent of the shopping mall, shopping has become synonymous with entertainment and the retail store a key player in establishing brand identity. In a growing trend, high-profile architects are designing provocative storefronts and interiors that create an aura of exclusivity to draw in customers and attract media attention. New Retail examines this phenomenon with an overview of twenty-four of the most innovative retail spaces built around the world in recent years, designed by high-profile international architects as well as smaller cutting-edge firms. Projects in the book include the Carlos Miele store in New York (Asymptote), three stores for Louis Vuitton in New York and Tokyo (Jun Aoki), Selfridges in Birmingham (Future Systems), two clothing boutiques in So Paulo (Isay Weinfeld), the Mandarina Duck store in Paris (NL Architects), and the Mpries Supermarket in Austria (Dominique Perrault). More than 250 color photographs as well as floor plans and site plans showcase the architectural and interior design, lighting, and intriguingly experimental materials that create these ultimate retail spaces. For the Selfridges department store, for example, Future Systems clad the building with 15,000 aluminum disks attached to a sprayed concrete surface. In New York, the interior of the Carlos Miele store by Asymptote features a sensual, sculptural white ceiling of molded high-gloss PVC-based material. Each project is accompanied by a 500-to-700-word description that explains the design concept, site, program, and signifi

With the new By Architects series, Ediciones Poligrafa launches an innovative project dedicated to showcasing furniture and objects designed by some of the most important architects of the twentieth century. Three titles open this series: Alvar Aalto, Jean Prouve and Ray and Charles Eames. Best known for their contributions to architecture, furniture design (especially the Eames chair), industrial design, film and photography, Charles and Ray Eames remain among the most renowned American designers of the twentieth century. The couple married in 1941 and moved to California, where they pursued their furniture design in molded plywood. During the war they were commissioned by the U.S. Navy to produce molded plywood splints, stretchers and experimental glider shells. In 1946, Evans Products began producing the Eames'' molded plywood furniture. Their iconic molded plywood chair was called "the chair of the century" by the influential architectural critic Esther McCoy. In 1949, Charles and Ray designed and built their own home in Pacific Palisades, their design and imaginative use of materials making this house a mecca for architects and designers internationally. Today it is considered one of the most important postwar residences built anywhere in the world. After the war, the Eames continued to create new furniture designs, such as the Fiberglass Chairs (1950), the famous Lounge Chair and Ottoman (1956), the Time Life stool (1960), the 3473 sofa (1964) and the seating for Dulles and O''Hare airports--a design still in use in lounges around the world today. In the 70s they expanded their operations into cinema, producing many beautiful short films. Charles and Ray received honorary degrees and awards from universities and organizations across the country. The Eames Office still operates today.

El color es una de las herramientas más eficaces en la arquitectura y el (fiseno de interiores. Uno de sus efectos más importantes es el que inspira en el estado de ánimo de las personas. El color posee la facultad de intervenir de forma directa sobre la calidad de vida de los habitantes de una vivienda. Por ejemplo, los ambientes armónicos y acogedores se obtienen a partir de la aplicación de unos u otros colores y de sus combinaciones cromáticas. Si bien las aplicaciones están determinadas por el gusto personal, no pueden dejarse al azar. Por eso, el conocimiento del lenguaje del color se presenta como una asignatura obligada para todo aquel que desee ser artífice de su entorno. Este libro ha sido concebido para sacar el mayor provecho al color, particularmente en las viviendas de pocos metros. Gracias a todas estas ideas y a los cientos de ilustraciones que las acompañan, el lector encontrará en este volumen una fuente de inspiración que adquirirá una importancia clave en el momento de tomar pequeñas o grandes decisiones en materia de decoración. Las ideas que aquí se presentan ofrecen soluciones prácticas para ampliar visualmente los espacios y demuestran que una casa moderna y con estilo no necesariamente requiere grandes superficies.

Founded in 1903 by Josef Hoffmann, Koloman Moser, and Fritz Waemdorfer, the Wiener Werkstatte ("Vienna Workshop") was a collective of architects and craftsmen which aimed at fusing architecture and interior design into a Gesamtkunstwerk, or total work of art. Experimenting with various materials (gold, precious stones, and papier mache, for example), the artists of the Wiener Werkstatte created buildings and objects which combined classical elegance with streamlined functionality. Though the workshop lasted only thirty years, its influence is still strong today. Another stroke of genius by TASCHEN, a gloriously illustrated in-depth account of the 'total work of art' and the most important achievements of that creative endeavor. design report, Stuttgart

Sarah Susanka; Marc Vassallo;In her latest book, best-selling author of "The Not So Big House" Sarah Susanka teams up with architectural design writer Marc Vassallo to expand upon the message that has resonated with over a million homeowners and builders across the country: opting for personalized, well-crafted, thoughtfully designed spaces over superfluous square footage results in a home that comforts and nourishes those who live there. In "Inside The Not So Big House," Susanka and Vassallo focus their lens on the tangible and sometimes intangible details that bring an otherwise ordinary home to life. Incorporating such details as dropped ceilings, built-in shelves, pocket doors, window seats, and well-placed alcoves infuses a home with the character of its owners and conveys a uniqueness that's mising in many homes built or remodeled today. From Rhode Island to San Diego, the 23 homes featured here illustrate exceptional attention to detail. Each offers inspiration for those building or remodeling to transform their home into an expression of all that is important to them. "Detail is everything in design. Sarah Susanka proves it again with this, her latest book." --John Wheatman, author, "Meditations on Design" and "A Good House Is Never Done"
