Jeanne Lanvin - Fashion pioneer
Jeanne Lanvin was ahead of her time. The French fashion visionary and imaginative businesswoman from a poor background not only created the first designer fashion line for children - this was colourful and full of lightness, at a time when children were still dressed like adults - the first tailored men's collection and the first unisex eau de toilette, she also founded the longest-running fashion company in the world. This at times employed over 1000 people and included women's, children's and men's fashion, accessories, fragrances, furnishing textiles and decorative objects, and even its own paint factory.
The self-taught Lanvin started as a hat maker with her own boutique and managed to become one of the greatest fashion designers of the 20th century with creative energy and inventiveness. She created art deco costumes for theatre and film productions, developed the legendary perfume Arpege and a special Lanvin blue, based on the shade Fra Angelico blue. This richly illustrated coffee table book is dedicated to the extraordinary life and work of this exceptional designer.

Řeč materiálu
Sborník Řeč materiálu představuje závěry z odborné konference Historický interiér a řeč materiálů konané v roce 2022. Ve sborníku jsou prezentovány specializované studie z jednotlivých odborných etap a tematických celků, včetně textů zahraničních i domácích specialistů. Studie se zaměřují na několik okruhů. Jedná se o vymezení některých pojmů, k nimž patří historický interiér, původní technologie, kvalita materiálů anebo autenticita. Příspěvky dále sledují stavební prvky jako nedílnou součást historického interiéru a rekonstrukce historických interiérů či jejich částí s využitím znalostí původních technologií a materiálů. Studie vystihují autentické tradiční technologie a materiály, jejich kvalitativní výzkum s cílem identifikovat příčiny a faktory, které jsou zdrojem transmise, modifikace nebo zániku tradičních řemeslných technologií. Neopomíjí ani dopad detailních znalostí tradičních materiálů a technologií na rehabilitaci historických objektů. Jednotlivé texty ve sborníku mohou proto přispět k ochraně, restaurování, prezentaci a edukaci v oblasti tradičních řemesel spojených se stavební činností a interiérovou tvorbou v měšťanském a aristokratickém prostředí.
Antonín Heythum
Antonín Heythum (1901-1954) byl výjimečnou a výraznou osobností výtvarné kultury v meziválečném Československu a později v USA. Významně zasáhl do několika oborů (scénografie, architektura, nábytek, průmyslový design, pracoval jako vysokoškolský pedagog), avšak jeho tvorba byla dosud zpracována zlomkovitě, bez širšího kontextu, izolovaně a s omezením pouze na některé obory. Přípravě knihy předcházelo pečlivé zmapování jeho rozsáhlého mezioborového díla v archívech na českém i americkém území s cílem popsat a zhodnotit jeho přínos pro všechny zmíněné oblasti. Pečlivě je popsána rovněž jeho spolupráce s významnými umělci (Man Ray, Erwin Piscator, Max Ernst, Marcel Duchamp, Frederic Kann atd.) a jeho výstavní aktivity probíhající ve více než šedesáti místech Evropy a USA. Knižní monografie vychází v česko-anglické jazykové mutaci. Publikace obsahuje úplný soupis inscenací Antonína Heythuma, rejstřík a resumé. Text doprovází bohatý obrazový materiál z rodinné pozůstalosti, českých a amerických sbírek (plány, kresby, scénické a kostýmní návrhy, fotografie, rukopisy) a poznámkový aparát.

Overal magazín
Tématem publikace je nahlédnutí do uvažování o módě v širším sociokulturním kontextu. Reflektuje aspekty a tendence současného nezávislého oděvního designu a věnuje se především teoretickým souvislostem. Pozornost je upřena na autory a jejich díla, u kterých oděv přesahuje svůj užitný rámec, stává se aktivismem, propojuje se s volným uměním, či vstupuje jako narativ do kulturně-sociologického kontextu společnosti. Jde o antologii zahraničních textů a dalších teoretických článků doplněných o rozhovory s autory, tvůrci, teoretiky i odborníky mimo umělecké obory (sociology). V obrazové části jsou zastoupeny projekty a díla zahraničních autorů a fotografie Veroniky Čechmánkové a Terezy Havlínkové. Grafika Jakub Samek.

Colour Clash
Colour is one of the essential elements of many branding designs. It can help give an identity personality and warmth, express emotion, communicate messages in an unconscious and subtle way and it can keep or navigate the viewer’s interest, drawing the eye and making elements stand out.
This book explores colour palettes in graphic design that surprise, engage, challenge and grab our attention - the combinations that maybe shouldn’t work but just do. These are palettes that break the established rules and laws we have been taught about colour theory and remind us that colour can be fun as well as meaningful.
The Cartier Tank Watch
A timeless piece of modern watchmaking, Cartier’s Tank watch is an icon that never ceases to renew itself.
Created by Louis Cartier in 1917, the Tank watch is an icon of modern watchmaking. The re?ned design of this wristwatch, combining geometry and harmony, de?nes its strong identity. Immediately recognizable and always in step with the times, the Tank watch has been reinterpreted for more than a century through multiple variations that are forever faithful to the spirit of the original design, from the Tank Cintrée to the Tank Chinoise, and from the Tank Américaine to the Tank Française.
Featuring extensive archival documents along with previously unpublished photographs, this volume explores, through the passionate pen of a true connoisseur, the most signi?cant Tank watches and their technical characteristics. The author also presents portraits of famous clients who, over time, have been seduced by this timeless timepiece.
Augmented with a chapter on new models created since 2017, this new edition offers a journey into the heart of the myth.
Hermes: Príbeh ikonickej módnej značky
Unikátny obrazový sprievodca históriou módnej značky Hermes
Príbeh slávneho módneho domu začal písať francúzsky sedlár a postrojár Thierry Hermes v roku 1837 v sedlárskej dielni. Jeho unikátna metóda šitia, vďaka ktorej držia stehy pevne pri sebe, aj keby jeden či dva povolili, sa pri výrobe kabeliek tejto značky používa dodnes.
Kniha História módy do vrecka: Hermes rozpráva o značke, ktorá spája majstrovstvo minulosti s eleganciou súčasnosti. Ikonické kabelky, typické oranžové škatuľky, fanúšikovia z radov prominentov – módne doplnky značky Hermes sú dnes synonymom luxusu a stali sa ozdobou šatníkov Grace Kellyovej, Jane Birkinovej, Victorie Beckhamovej či Cardi B.
Text uznávanej odborníčky na módu Karen Homerovej dopĺňa množstvo fotografií najžiadanejších výrobkov vrátane hodvábnych šatiek, legendárnych kabeliek Birkin a Kelly či záberov z prehliadkových mól.

Graphite
There is something distinctly visceral about graphite art, where every stroke of the artist or illustrator seems to convey emotion in its purest form. At a time when almost everything can be digitally done up to perfection, the smudges and smears by graphite can be refreshing to the eye and unapologetically human - touching viewers to the core. As a creative tool, it can also be the simplest and most affordable medium with which to express oneself and find joy.
GRAPHITE is a stunning collection of pencil artwork by creatives around the world who have skilfully mastered the art of drawing by hand to make their mark. Featuring various subject matters and styles, it makes for a beautiful addition to the bookshelf and invites you to step away from your screen every now and then to, perhaps, pick up a pencil yourself and appreciate the simple things in life.
Snails and Monkey Tails
An entertaining, informative, and elegantly designed guide that makes understanding punctuation marks and symbols simple and fun. A rollicking linguistic ride for fans of Eats, Shoots & Leaves, and Just My Type. What is the purpose of the comma - perhaps the most used symbol in the English language - and what are the proper uses of the asterisk? Do quote marks go inside or outside punctuation? What about a quote within a quote - a quote from someone quoting someone else? How much space goes on either side of an ellipsis? What's the difference between an en dash and an em dash?
Snails and Monkey Tails is a show-stopping guide with more than 75 uniquely designed two-color spreads. Award-winning graphic designer Michael Arndt explores the typographic origins, names, and shapes of both common punctuation marks and symbols, as well as the proper and diverse usage of each. From the full stop to the question mark, the semicolon to the en dash, symbols, and marks are an integral part of the language.
Umění šperku v zemích Orientu
Touha po zdobení těla je stará jako lidstvo samo. Lidé se vždy zdobili, a tím se od sebe navzájem odlišovali. Šperk podtrhoval individualitu jednotlivce a přitahoval pohledy ostatních. Obrazově bohatě vybavená monografie, vycházející především ze sbírek Národního muzea a Západočeského muzea v Plzni, se věnuje šperkařství na území od Tibetu po Blízký východ. Cílem publikace je postihnout v hlavních rysech vše, co je z historického hlediska pro sledované oblasti typické, co po staletí spoluvytvářelo charakter šperků daných zemí, regionu či etnika a co nám tak poskytuje obraz identity lidí, kteří žili a stále žijí v takto rozsáhlém a kulturně různorodém prostředí.

Monobloc
A visual history of the world's most famous and ubiquitous chair
The Monobloc is the bestselling piece of furniture of all time: an estimated one billion copies of this white plastic chair are in circulation all over the world. This book arises from a documentary by German film director Hauke Wendler, who spent eight years filming on five continents to explore the impact of the Monobloc on a global scale.
Combining archival documentation with images from Wendler’s film (to be released in 2022), this book complicates the narrative and mystery of the Monobloc's popularity. Embracing its ubiquity, it also addresses the chair’s environmental, economic and aesthetic impacts. How does the Monobloc threaten our environment and good taste? Finally, how has it become indispensable to millions of people for whom a chair is a chair and nothing more?
This book offers insight, through film, photography and design history, into the story of how an unremarkable, stackable chair conquered the world.

Ice Cold. A Hip-Hop Jewelry History
Whether it's diamond-encrusted grills, oversized “truck” style chains, bust-down Rolex and Patek Philippe watches or a Tiffany necklace, jewelry is a cornerstone of hip-hop culture. Glittering, blinged-out jewels are the shining statement of a collective identity: unapologetic, charismatic, and street savvy.
Spanning the history of hip-hop jewelry, from the 1980s to today, Ice Cold: A Hip-Hop Jewelry History is a stunning compilation of storytelling and visuals. Hundreds of extraordinary images of every major hip-hop artist on record celebrate how “Ice” has become a proclamation of identity and self-expression.
Starting with Run-DMC’s gold Adidas pendants and Eric B. & Rakim’s ostentatious dookie rope chains and Mercedes medallions, the jewelry then transforms from street style into a booming design culture. The hip-hop tradition of “show up and show out” reaches new heights with artists like Pharrell Williams, Jay-Z, Gucci Mane, and Cardi B, whose over-the-top pieces integrate unique pop culture references, unconventional materials, and enduring collaborations with artists like Takashi Murakami.
Author Vikki Tobak reveals – in great detail – the work of pioneering jewelers such as Tito Caicedo of Manny’s, Eddie Plein, and Jacob the Jeweler as well as newer artisans such as Avianne & Co., Ben Baller/IF & Co., Greg Yuna, Johnny Dang, Eliantte, and many more.
Ice Cold is a treasure trove of dazzling, inspirational style, featuring the work of leading photographers, including Wolfgang Tillmans, Janette Beckman, Jamel Shabazz, Timothy White, Gillian Laub, David LaChapelle, Danny Clinch, Chris Buck, Mike Miller, Phil Knott, Raven B. Varona, Al Pereira, Albert Watson and many more.
A foreword by hip-hop superstar Slick Rick and essays by A$AP Ferg, LL COOL J, Kevin “Coach K’ Lee and Pierre “P” Thomas of Quality Control Music take us on personal journeys into their jewelry universe.
Ice Cold goes beyond the ostentatious bling to reveal a transformative story that is loud and proud.
Palace Product Descriptions, The Selected Archive
Phaidon presents Palace Product Descriptions: The Selected Archive, the official printed archive of Palace Skateboard's online product descriptions. Since their debut in 2013, Palace's unconventional descriptors - which often have little or nothing to do with the product being described – have earned a cult following, with readers hooked on every line.
Authored by Palace co-founder, Lev Tanju, whose inimitable style essentially tore up the copywriting rulebook, the descriptions are full of humour, pathos, social commentary and unabashed opinion. Eschewing practical details, instead a jacket is described as:
TRENDSETTER
DON'T THINK SO MATE
YOU LOOK LIKE YOU MOONWALKED THROUGH TOPSHOP
WITH YOUR EYES CLOSED
COVERED IN GLUE
Collected here for the first time and printed as they appear online - a few lines set in all caps, formatted as a series of bullet points – the more than 3,000 descriptions are organised into 22 tongue-in-cheek categories, including Anatomy, Animals, Etiquette, Philanthropy, Romance and Travel. The text is interspersed with shots of highly coveted Palace products and chapter openers feature candid, behind-the-scenes images from Palace's archive.
At once jokey toilet book and earnest coffee-table opus, this funny and honest volume serves as an essential record of an online phenomenon.
100 Symbols That Changed the World
100 Symbols That Changed The World looks at the genesis and adoption of the world's most recognizable symbols.
Universal symbols have been used as a form of communication from the Bronze Age, when the dynasties of ancient Egypt began the evolution of the thousand characters used in Egyptian hieroglyphics. In pre-Columbian America the Mayan civilization set out on a similar course, using pictures as a narrative text.
With the adoption of written languages, symbols have come to represent an illustrated shorthand. The dollar sign in America evolved from colonists' trade with the Spanish, and the widespread acceptance of Spanish currency in deals. Merchants' clerks would shorten the repeated entry of "pesos" in their accounts ledgers, which needed to be written with a 'p' and an 's'. A single letter 's' with the vertical stroke of the 'p' was much quicker. Historically correct dollar signs have a single stroke through the 'S'.
Symbols are also used to impart quick, recognizable safety advice. The radio activity symbol was designed in Berkley in 1946 to warn of the dangers of radioactive substances - and following the widespread use of gas masks in WWII, the trefoil symbol echoed the shape of the mask.
There are many symbols of affiliation, not only to religious groups, but support of political causes or even brand loyalty. Symbols are used for identification, military markings and recognition of compatibility. They allow users to convey a large amount of information in a short space, such as the iconography of maps or an electrical circuit diagram. Symbols are an essential part of the architecture of mathematics.
And in the case of the 1964 Tokyo Olympics - the first Games to be held in an Asian country - symbols allowed the organizers to create event signage that wouldn't be lost in translation. The set of Olympic sports pictograms for the Games was a novel solution, and one that was added to in Mexico and Munich.
Organized chronologically, 100 Symbols That Changed The World looks at the genesis and adoption of the world's most recognizable symbols.
