Graphic Classics
This deep dive into graphic design history presents the work of more than 400 designers across 33 countries and 5 continents, with work dating back to the 14th century.
Reimagined from the Phaidon best-seller Graphic: 500 Designs that Matter, the book’s dizzying array of designs range from the Gutenberg Bible to Joy Division album art, with work by both anonymous creators and industry icons such as Aleksandr Rodchenko, Paul Rand, Paula Scher, Ahn Sang-soo, and Julia Born.
The generous format and two-part design structure allows designs to be shown in detail, with large images up front and a 300+ word text for each entry in the back – making this equal parts picture and reading book. A design category key adds functionality while indicating the sheer variety of disciplines at work within one medium, from advertising and information design to posters, books, magazines, and logos.
This book is the perfect reference guide for design and art lovers, enthusiasts, and professionals at any stage of their careers, as well as all those interested in and impacted by visual communication.
Carefully revised to bring every detail up to date, organized chronologically, and with the addition of 50 new examples that highlight designers reshaping the graphic culture of today, this collection is more comprehensive, compelling – and relevant – than ever before.

Dětem na míru
Publikace se zabývá designem nábytku, hraček a užitou grafikou pro děti předškolního a mladšího školního věku v socialistickém Československu. Vedle hraček či knih, které se dočkaly masové výroby a stotisícových nákladů a které dodnes najdeme v mnoha domácnostech, si autorky jednotlivých studií všímají kusů, jež zůstaly jen ve fázi návrhů a prototypů. Podobně jako v mnoha jiných oblastech dobové produkce i v designu pro děti platilo, že mnoho věcí bylo vymyšleno či vyzkoušeno v experimentální poloze, do výroby se však většinou nedostaly. Kniha nechává stranou fenomén „retra“ a soustředí se na inovativní koncepční, výtvarná a materiálová řešení. Medailonky přibližují dvě desítky českých a slovenských autorů, kteří se věnovali tvorbě pro děti s ohledem na jejich specifika a potřeby. Kniha navazuje na stejnojmennou výstavu, kterou do začátku června 2024 hostí Slovenské národní muzeum v Bratislavě (30. 11. 2023–2. 6. 2024) a již připravila kurátorka UPM Lucie Skřivánková.
How Communication Design Works
Reflections and practical action for the rapidly evolving discipline of visual communication.
Communication design is undergoing radical changes: an overabundant flood of information, fake news, bots, AI, social media, crude graphic tools on the Internet as well as the speed of processes and increasing pressure to be efficient, coupled with increased competition in the design sector and sometimes precarious working conditions. All of these factors put creatives in the field under pressure, leaving them little time to reflect on their own work. This handbook responds to the current situation by shedding new light on the societal relevance of the discipline in the context of professional practice.
The authors use their extensive expertise, practical work examples, and actionable suggestions to identify what really matters in visual communication. They describe the far-reaching interconnectedness of design with a wide range of issues and deal intensively with the current challenges. The overarching leitmotif is that communication design is always the result of the attitude of its protagonists – this compendium makes clear how their actions influence communication, what values are conveyed, and what our visual world looks like as a result.
Worldbuilding: Gaming and Art in the Digital Age
Alternative Realities
"Video games are to the twenty-first cetury what movies were to the twentieth century and novels to the nineteenth century." - HANS ULRICH OBRIST
WORLDBUILDING: Gaming and Art in the Digital Age examines the relationship between gaming and time-based media art. It is the first transgenerational show of this scope to survey how contemporary artists world-wide are appropriating the aesthetics and technology of gaming as their form of expression. Commissioned by the Julia Stoschek Foundation and curated by Hans Ulrich Obrist, the exhibition features works by more than 50 artists, including Rebecca Allen, Cory Arcangel, LaTurbo Avedon, Meriem Bennani, Ian Cheng, Cao Fei, Harun Farocki, Porpentine Charity Heartscape, Pierre Huyghe, Rindon Johnson, KAWS, Sondra Perry, Jacolby Satterwhite, Sturtevant, and Suzanne Treister.
This catalogue is conceptualized as a future standard reference in the field in close collaboration with Hans Ulrich Obrist. In addition to texts by contemporary theorists, curators, and critics on the individual works, a series of newly commissioned contributions will investigate various perspectives on the intersection of gaming and time-based media art.
This playfully designed volume features rounded edges, a screen-printed PVC dust jacket and kiss-cut stickers showing a range of different digital avatars.

Biba
Biba dominated London fashion from the mid-1960s, defining the dress and outlook of a generation. Celebrating the sixtieth anniversary of the opening of the first Biba boutique, this book takes a revealing look at Biba through the words and images of the people who were intimately involved with the company and its phenomenal success.
Established in 1963 as Biba Postal Boutique—a small mail-order company selling inexpensive clothing for women and children—by 1973 Biba was a seven-story department store on London’s Kensington High Street. Customers could fill their wardrobe and furnish their home with Biba products; Biba had become the world’s first lifestyle label. Shoppers could buy a tin of Biba baked beans, take tea on Europe’s largest roof garden, or watch live music performances by the New York Dolls, Iggy Pop, and Liberace in the 500-seat Rainbow Room.
Created by Barbara Hulanicki and her husband, Stephen Fitz-Simon, Biba was made in the image of its staff and customers. Selling up-to-the-minute and affordable clothing, Biba appealed to teenagers and young women of the postwar generation, becoming the fashion destination of the Swinging Sixties and Seventies. Biba was the place to see and to be seen; its doors were open to everyone, from the Rolling Stones, Marianne Faithfull, and Twiggy to David Bowie and Freddie Mercury.
Biba: The Fashion Brand That Defined A Generation includes photographs by Helmut Newton, Sarah Moon, and Duffy, as well as never-before-seen ephemera from Hulanicki’s personal archive. Interviews with the people closest to Biba bring these images and objects to life, while recollections and anecdotes from Hulanicki herself shine a new light on the very personal nature of Biba as a business.
ALAIA / GRES beyond fashion
Uniting the work of two “sculptors of dresses” whose formal principles and monochromatic fabrics crafted timeless designs
Determined to a lifetime of seclusion spent entirely in the workshop, Madame Gres (1903–93) saw herself as a sculptor. Azzedine Alaia (1935–2017) also studied sculpture at the School of Fine Arts in Tunis. This shared passion for sculpture was kept intact through their journey in the fashion system to which they dedicated themselves with such singularity and success. While there is no evidence that the two couturiers ever crossed paths, their creations undoubtedly did. Apostles of a certain form of simplicity, the seemingly simple creations of Gres and Alaia hide an inherent complexity in their cut and design. For the first time, this publication brings together 60 designs by Madame Gres and Alaia. United by their formal principles, their cutting techniques and the harmonious combinations of fabric and colors they commonly embraced, the clothes by both couturiers invite readers to a lesson beyond fashion.

Marilyn Monroe was right: diamonds are a girl?s best friend. In such fast-paced times jewellery appears timeless and long-lasting, and is often a smart investment. Being the perfect homage to the wonderful world of jewellery, For the Love of Diamonds focuses on these objects of desire. The book features the most famous jewellers, designers and iconic pieces of jewellery, it also offers insights on gemmology, manufacturing techniques and tips on different jewellery styles.
Text in English and German.
Bring No Clothes
Why do we wear what we wear? To answer this question, we must go back and unlock the wardrobes of the early twentieth century, when fashion as we know it was born.
In Bring No Clothes, acclaimed fashion writer Charlie Porter brings us face to face with six members of the Bloomsbury Group, the collective of artists and thinkers who were in the vanguard of a social and sartorial revolution. Each of them offers fresh insight into the constraints and possibilities of fashion today: from the stifling repression of E. M. Forster's top buttons to the creativity of Vanessa Bell's wayward hems; from the sheer pleasure of Ottoline Morrell's lavish dresses to the clashing self-consciousness of Virginia Woolf's orange stockings. As Porter carefully unpicks what they wore and how they wore it, we see how clothing can be a means of artistic, intellectual and sexual liberation, or, conversely, a tool for patriarchal control.
Travelling through libraries, archives, attics and studios, Porter uncovers fresh evidence about his subjects, revealing them in a thrillingly intimate, vivid new light. And, as he is inspired to begin making his own clothing, his perspective on fashion - and on life - starts to change. In the end, he shows, we should all 'bring no clothes,' embracing a new philosophy of living: one which activates the connections between the way we dress and the way we think, act and love.
Architectural Pottery
The first book to document the history of the groundbreaking company Architectural Pottery, tracing its critical influence on midcentury design and its enduring appeal today
Architectural Pottery’s strikingly minimalist designs heralded new domestic housewares that could uniquely accent the modern home?inside and out. Formally expressive yet accessible, their refreshingly unembellished, elegant pots and planters were enthusiastically received by the public upon Architectural Pottery’s launch in 1950, soon ubiquitous in spaces representing the epitome of modern living. Highly coveted and prized in design circles, they were seen in houses by Richard Neutra, John Lautner, and the historic Case Study Houses, and featured in the first of MoMA’s legendary Good Design exhibitions alongside now-iconic designs by Ray and Charles Eames, Alexander Girard, and George Nelson. Over three decades, Architectural Pottery also developed innovations in stoneware production, expanded into fiberglass furniture, and included famed furniture designer Paul McCobb and sculptor David Cressey on its roster of designers.
A midcentury modern design enthusiast’s dream, Architectural Pottery: Ceramics for a Modern Landscape is the first full history of this celebrated and influential brand. Richly illustrated with contemporary photography and extensive visual archival material?including the records of the founders Rita and Max Lawrence, and the personal archives of designers, art directors, and photographers associated with the company?it both tells a compelling story and is a valuable resource for collectors and interior designers.
The publication of this new book will coincide with a major exhibition at the American Museum of Ceramic Art in Pomona, California.

Kabinety
Mistrovská díla uměleckého řemesla 16. A 17. století z českých sbírek
Podrobný katalog představuje výběr vzácných kabinetů ze sbírek Uměleckoprůmyslového musea v Praze a Národního památkového ústavu, ale i z oblastních a soukromých sbírek. Soubor reprezentuje tvorbu předních evropských výrobních center s ukázkami nejdůležitějších výzdobných technik, jako například piktoriální intarzie, marketerie, reliéfní řezby, florentská mozaika či dekorace miniaturní malbou a drobnými plastikami. Kabinety 16. a 17. století patří k nejzajímavějším realizacím v historii uměleckého řemesla. Už prvotním posláním jako schrána pro uschování drahocenných předmětů a svým výrazně uměleckým charakterem se kabinet vždy vymykal běžným kategoriím nábytkové tvorby. Jeho kořeny lze sledovat již ve vyspělých kulturách starověku, přední místo zaujímal v luxusním mobiliáři na panovnických dvorech evropského novověku, avšak svou vrcholnou roli sehrál v éře manýrismu a časného baroku, kdy se jako Kunstkammer en miniature stal svébytným uměleckým dílem, reprezentujícím složitý myšlenkový svět idejí novověké přírodní filosofie.
Vydání české s anglickým a německým resumé.
Identita
"Kdo graficky upravil první československou ústavu? Z jaké tradice vychází český grafický design a kdo jsou jeho hrdinové? Jak vznikají písma? Proč jsou české knihy nejkrásnější? A jak se ocitla na plakátu k filmu Pelíšky lžička? Kniha nabízí unikátní vhled do světa grafického designu a typografie. Mapuje více než stoletý vývoj těchto oborů a ukazuje, jak ovlivňují společnost, ať už ve smyslu kultivace, nebo propagandy a manipulace. Od obalů přes filmové plakáty, loga měst až po navigační systém pražského metra fundovaně, ale srozumitelně popisuje fenomény, které nás obklopují doslova na každém kroku. Rozhovory s pamětníky i současnými předními tvůrci, jako jsou Zuzana Lednická nebo Aleš Najbrt, doplňují eseje teoretiků grafického designu, ale i sociologů, kulturních antropologů a dalších odborníků z Česka i zahraničí. Součástí obsáhlé monografie jsou také dosud nepublikované obrazové materiály, originální skici, makety, fotografie a dokumenty ze soukromých i veřejných sbírek."
Bohumil Južnič
Bohumil Južnič (1895–1963) byl předním československým designérem. Ačkoliv se celý život věnoval vojenskému povolání, jeho záliba v průmyslovém designu přerostla v další profesi. Významně ovlivnil rozvoj uměleckého průmyslu, obzvlášť ve třicátých letech, kdy poskytoval své návrhy kovových předmětů denní potřeby Krásné jizbě DP a Topičově salonu v Praze. Specializoval se především na design vybavení určeného ke stolování, kterému dodával elegantní, funkční tvar. Svůj návrhářský potenciál uplatnil i v ostatních průmyslových odvětvích. Od roku 1932 navrhoval textil, zejména koberce. Pro Topičův salon projektoval drobný nábytek a navrhl skleněný nápojový servis. S příchodem války začal Bohumil Južnič navrhovat první výrobky ze soustruženého a řezaného dřeva. Tomuto materiálu se věnoval celá čtyřicátá léta. Zájem o jeho dřevěné mísy, dózy a ostatní předměty, spojené zejména se stolováním, přetrvával i v padesátých letech. V té době rozšířil své pole působnosti o návrhy funkční i dekorativní keramiky, smaltovaného nádobí, hraček, šperků a bižuterie. Publikace přibližuje Južničovu tvorbu dokumentovanou návrhy z autorovy pozůstalosti i realizacemi nejen ze sbírek Uměleckoprůmyslového musea v Praze.
Colourful
In the summer of 2023, as Iris Apfel welcomed her 102nd birthday, she put pen to paper to write this very special project: what Iris called her legacy book.
Comprising of over 200 personal photos and adorned with beautiful, unseen fabric patterns from her Old World Weaver’s collection, Iris’s incredible energy radiates from every page. Here she shares her creative work, life stories, adventures, and her unwavering belief in the essential power of colour and creativity on a life well lived.
This is not a book of secrets – I have no secrets. Sorry to disappoint if that’s what you’re looking for. I have some good stories though. And a few ideas. This book is about living, creating and colour. Because creativity and colour matter. I don’t want you to dress like me or think like me – that’s not the idea of this book. I want you to find the colours, confidence and creative inspiration that reflect you. My life has been filled with love, wonder and a very deep, incurable curiosity. This book is my treasure trove of inspiration, influences and ideas: My source. Be brave. Find your source. What makes you happy?
Much love, Iris x
Illegal: Street Art Graffiti 1960–1995
The history of street art up to Bansky—four decades of trailblazing graffiti in Europe.
Graffiti has always been a wild, free, and ephemeral art form—from its origins in the 1960s through the photographs of Brassai, who transformed graffiti into art, to the Sprayer of Zurich in the 1970s and the appearance of the first works by Banksy in England. This book studies the illegal roots of the art form with over 120 vandals from more than a dozen countries, tracing its journey to the dawn of the new millennium.
Where do the origins of street art and graffiti lie? In the far-flung region between Paris, Düsseldorf, and Zurich, European graffiti developed not in the gallery but outdoors, for the general public. Who were the pioneers of street art and concept artists who left their signatures in the rue Visconti in Paris between 1962 and 1986? What are the links between pop music, graffiti photos, and records? And who was Rimbaud, the queer revolutionary nineteenth-century poet to whom countless street artists referred? Find the answers to these questions and many more in this compelling story of how graffiti began.
