A modern design szép, funkcionális, egyéni, stílusos, értékálló és még megfizethető is. Előfordult, hogy egykor túl avantgárdnak vélték a használhatóság rovására, de mára elismerés és csodálat övezi a merész ötletet, az eredetiséget, amely életrehívója lett egy új formának. A gyűjtők még csak most fedeznek fel bizonyos tárgyakat, mintha eddig nem ismerték volna fel tervezőik mesterségbeli tudását, a forma művészetét és szerepét. Judith Miller Design című, szép kiállítású albuma tökéletes kézikönyv a tapasztalt vagy a kezdő gyűjtő számára. Bemutatja az egyes korszakok meghatározó tervezőit és az általuk létrehozott, mára keresett, nagyra értékelt tárgyakat: bútorokat, fém- és üvegtárgyakat, kerámiákat, amelyeket nagyszerű fotókon csodálhatunk meg. A szép kiállítású illusztrációkon kívül ötletek, tanácsok, árlisták segítik a tájékozódót. A különlegességnek számító műtárgykalauz gondosan összeválogatott képanyaggal illusztrálva tartalmazza egy-egy tárgyról azokat az ismereteket, amelyekre a gyűjtőnek vagy az érdeklődőnek feltétlenül szüksége van. Corbusier a 20. század Chippendale-je? Charles Eames az új Duncan Phyfe? A Design című műtárgykalauz lapjain minden érdeklődő megtalálja a választ.

Chanel, Dior, Schiaparelli, Trifari, Coro, Miriam Haskell, Stanley Hagler ...the greats of 20th century costume jewellery trip off the tongue like a parade of the best in fashion. Costume - or non-precious - jewellery has been worn since ancient times. In a comprehensive introduction, Judith Miller discusses how these early pieces influenced the development of costume jewellery in the 20th century: from the Great Depression, when many could only afford glass stones, to the fantasy pastes of the 1950s which bore no resemblance to precious gems. Biographies of the great designers and companies (Chanel, Dior, Schiaparelli, Trifari, Coro and more) will be joined by information on lesser-known names and unsigned pieces. Special features will explore subjects such as Art Deco jewelry, costume jewellery in Hollywood films and unsigned pieces. It will look at the lives of the designers, their inspirations as well as showing hundreds of beautiful designs and the marks to look for.
