Casual clothing, swimwear in particular, is strongly associated
with the California lifestyle, and the design and manufacture of
casual clothing has long been the foundation of California's
garment industry. This book explores that industry as it developed
in California from the 1930s through the 1970s, with emphasis on
clothing and textile designs suffused with the sunshine spirit.
Included are fashions from major swimwear companies such as
Catalina, Cole, and Rose Marie Reid; sportswear from leaders like
Koret and Alice of California; and a wonderful chapter paying
tribute to that most western of fabrics, blue denim. More than 330

number of models can be graded using the same principles.
Radical Matter: Rethinking Materials for a Sustainable Future
presents the eight 'Big Ideas' that will shape and inform the
choices of materials, design methods and manufacturing processes
made by designers in the years ahead. This book draws from a global
community of designers who are pushing boundaries with new and
disruptive approaches to their use of materials and design
processes that go beyond the notion of 'sustainable design'.
Holistic systems of design, production and consumption that will
benefit our world environmentally, socially and economically are
now possible, and material innovation will be a crucial element in
achieving that goal. The eight 'Big Ideas' unpack the themes and
ideas that are impacting on our material world through cutting-edge
case studies and expert opinions: 1) Today's Waste, Tomorrow's Raw
Material; 2) Natural Assets; 3) Shit, Hair, Dust; 4) Material
Connections; 5) Co-Creation; 6) Designed to Disappear; 7) Living
Materials; and 8) Future Mining. Each 'Big Idea' includes fully
illustrated case studies from leading designers and engineers who
are at the cutting edge of material and design technology. Packed
with expert ideas and radical solutions to the current global
changes faced by the design and manufacturing industries, Radical
Matter contains a wealth of information to help design
professionals and students turn revolutionary concepts into
reality.
An engaging, enlightening, and cleverly illustrated guide to
product design, written by experienced professional designers and
instructors. Products are in every area of our lives, but just what
product designers do and how they think is a mystery to most.
Product design is not art, engineering, or craft, even as it calls
for skills and understandings in each of these areas--along with
psychology, history, cultural anthropology, physics, ergonomics,
materials technology, marketing, and manufacturing. This accessible
guide provides an entry point into this vast field through 101
brief, illustrated lessons exploring such areas as - why all design
is performed in relation to the body - why every product is part of
a system - the difference between being clever and being gimmicky -
why notions of beauty are universal across cultures - how to use
both storytelling and argument to effectively persuade Written by
three experienced design instructors and professionals, 101 Things
I Learned(R) in Product Design School provides concise, thoughtful
touch points for beginning design students, experienced
professionals, and anyone else wishing to better understand this
complex field that shapes our lives every day.
Food and beverage hold the power to unite people across ages, cultures, and identities.

To facilitate these connections, the best restaurants and bars today know how important it is to offer remarkable culinary experiences amidst thoughtfully designed environments.
BRANDLife: Restaurants & Bars demonstrates how effective graphic identities and interior spaces can not only weave a compelling brand narrative, but also create the perfect setting for new stories, memories, and relationships. It showcases a wide range of establishments where menus complement milieus perfectly, from luxe themed eateries to the unpretentious diner down the street.
Althoughtheprinciplesofoperationofhelicalscrewmachines,
ascompressors or expanders, have been well known for more than 100
years, it is only during the past 30 years that these machines have
become widely used. The main reasons for the long period before
they were adopted were their relatively poor e?ciency and the high
cost of manufacturing their rotors. Two main developments led to a
solution to these di?culties. The ?rst of these was the
introduction of the asymmetric rotor pro?le in 1973. This reduced
the bl- hole area, which was the main source of internal leakage by
approximately 90%, and thereby raised the thermodynamic e?ciency of
these machines, to roughly the same level as that of traditional
reciprocating compressors. The second was the introduction of
precise thread milling machine tools at - proximately the same
time. This made it possible to manufacture items of complex shape,
such as the rotors, both accurately and cheaply. From then on, as a
result of their ever improving e?ciencies, high rel- bility and
compact form, screw compressors have taken an increasing share of
the compressor market, especially in the ?elds of compressed air
production, and refrigeration and air conditioning, and today, a
substantial proportion of compressors manufactured for industry are
of this type. Despite, the now wide usage of screw compressors and
the publication of many scienti?c papers on their development, only
a handful of textbooks have been published to date, which give a
rigorous exposition of the principles of their operation and none
of these are in English
The first major publication devoted to weaver and designer Dorothy
Liebes, reinstating her as one of the most influential American
designers of the twentieth century At the time of her death,
Dorothy Liebes (1897–1972) was called “the greatest modern
weaver and the mother of the twentieth-century palette.†As a
weaver, she developed a distinctive combination of unusual
materials, lavish textures, and brilliant colors that came to be
known as the “Liebes Look.†Yet despite her prolific career and
recognition during her lifetime, Liebes is today considerably less
well known than the men with whom she often collaborated, including
Frank Lloyd Wright, Henry Dreyfuss, and Edward Durrell Stone. Her
legacy also suffered due to the inability of the black-and-white
photography of the period to represent her richly colored and
textured works. Extensively researched and illustrated with
full-color, accurate reproductions, this important publication
examines Liebes’s widespread impact on twentieth-century design.
Essays explore major milestones of her career, including her close
collaborations with major interior designers and architects to
create custom textiles, the innovative and experimental design
studio where she explored new and unusual materials, her use of
fabrics to enhance interior lighting, and her collaborations with
fashion designers, including Clare Potter and Bonnie Cashin.
Ultimately, this book reinstates Liebes at the pinnacle of modern
textile design alongside such recognized figures as Anni Albers and
Florence Knoll. Published in association with Cooper Hewitt,

Written with beautiful clarity, Art in Consumer Culture: Mis-Design
asks the contemporary art world to be honest about the pervasive
effects of commodification and the difficulty of staging critique.
The book examines the collusion of 'art' and 'design' in
contemporary artistic practices in order to find avenues of
critique in a commercially driven cultural landscape. Grace
McQuilten focuses on the work of Takashi Murakami, Andrea Zittel,
Adam Kalkin and Vito Acconci, four contemporary artists who claim
to be working in the field of design rather than the traditional
art world. McQuilten argues that Zittel, Acconci and Kalkin engage
with 'design' only to reactivate the critical practice of art in a
more direct engagement with capital - and conceives of and affirms
a future for art, outside of the art world, as a parasite in the
complex beast of late capitalism. This book is an important and
timely provocation to a cynical and apathetic consumer culture, and
a call to arms for creative freedom and critical thought.
Driven by 'simple, remarkable ideas', Stockholm Design Lab (SDL)
has been transforming brands and businesses as one of the leading
forward-thinking design agencies in the world since 1998. From
developing visual identities for the NIO Formula E race car and the
Nobel Prize to defining creative approaches for adidas and IKEA,
its works are as diverse as they are distinct and delightful;
spanning various mediums and methods to capture hearts and minds
across all walks of life. To mark its 21st year in the industry,
SDL has compiled a special monograph with over 500 pages of
exclusive insight into its creative inspiration, processes, and
portfolio. Categorised by industry, the book's contents include
behind-the-scenes anecdotes, early-stage mock-ups, and
never-seen-before images for some of its best client projects so
far; serving as a valuable source of reference and reflection for
designers at any level.
When Stan Lee first pitched the idea of Spider-Man in 1962, his
boss was full of objections: People hate spiders. Teenagers aren't
lead characters; they're sidekicks. He should be glamorous and
successful, not a friendless loser. But Stan persisted and Martin
Goodman let him give the unlikely hero a tryout in Amazing Fantasy,
which was already slated for cancellation. With Spider-Man on the
cover, No. 15 shot to the top of Marvel's best-seller list for the
year, and the rest is history. Amazing Spider-Man, which debuted
seven months later, broke the comics mold. Peter Parker lived in
uncool Queens, was always broke, continually worried about his Aunt
May, was unlucky in love, and was constantly getting yelled at by
his boss, Daily Bugle publisher J. Jonah Jameson. Spider-Man had
the quips and confidence that Parker lacked, but learning to use
his powers wasn't always easy. He often seemed on the verge of
defeat against the rogue's gallery of classic foes that debuted in
the first couple of years: Vulture, Doctor Octopus, Sandman,
Lizard, Electro, Kraven the Hunter, Mysterio, and the Green Goblin.
Much of the credit for Spider-Man's greatness goes to co-creator
and artist Steve Ditko, who had a knack for portraying teenagers
and their problems. His artwork infused Spider-Man with a
loose-limbed energy, and, while maybe everyone was scared of
spiders, Ditko made swinging through New York seem like the coolest
adventure ever. This XXL-sized collector's dream, close in size to
the original artworks, features the first 21 stories of the world's
favorite web slinger from 1962-1964. Rather than recolor the
original artwork (as has been done in previous decades' reprints of
classic comics), TASCHEN has attempted to create an ideal
representation of these books as they were produced at the time of
publication. The most pristine pedigreed comics have been cracked
open and photographed for reproduction in close collaboration with
Marvel and the Certified Guaranty Company. Each page has been
photographed as printed more than half a century ago, then
digitally remastered using modern retouching techniques to correct
problems with the era's inexpensive, imperfect printing-as if hot
off of a world-class 1960s printing press. Three different paper
stocks, including an uncoated and woodfree paper, were exclusively
developed for this series to simulate the feel of the original
comics. With an in-depth historical essay by Marvel editor Ralph
Macchio, an introduction by uber-collector David Mandel, and
original art, rare photographs, and other gems, these 698 pages of
wall-crawling wonder will make anyone's spider-sense tingle with
anticipation. (c) 2021 MARVEL About the series MARVEL COMICS
LIBRARY is an exclusive, long-term collaboration between TASCHEN
and Marvel. The rarest classic comics, including Spider-Man,
Avengers, and Captain America are meticulously reproduced in their
original glory, in extra-large format. The library offers
collectors a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to lay their hands on
the world's most desirable comics. Each volume includes an essay by
a comic book historian along with hundreds of photos and artifacts,
including rare original comic book artwork.
Traces the pagan-Christian link of the symbolism of the axis-mundi
from standing stones and market crosses to the inscribed slabs and
free-standing crosses of the Celtic-Christian era. Examines the
ornamented Celtic crosses from such places as Brittany, Wales,
Scotland, the Isle of Man, Cumbria, Ireland, and Cornwall.
This is a study of a distinctive brand of modernism that first
emerged in late nineteenth-century Germany and remained influential
throughout the inter-war years and beyond. Its supporters saw
themselves as a new elite, ideally placed to tackle the many
challenges facing the young and rapidly industrializing German
nation-state. They defined themselves as bourgeois, and acted as
self-appointed champions of a modern consciousness. Focusing on
figures such as Hermann Muthesius, Fritz Schumacher, and Karl-Ernst
Osthaus, and the activities of the Deutscher Werkbund and other
networks of bourgeois designers, writers, and 'experts', this book
shows how bourgeois modernism shaped the infrastructure of social
and political life in early twentieth-century Germany.
Bourgeois modernism exercised its power not so much in the realm
of ideas, but by transforming the physical environment of German
cities, from domestic interiors, via consumer objects, to urban and
regional planning. Drawing on a detailed analysis of key material
sites of bourgeois modernism, and interpreting them in conjunction
with written sources, this study offers new insights into the
history of the bourgeois mindset and its operations in the private
and public realms. Thematic chapters examine leitmotifs such as the
sense of locality and place, the sense of history and time, and the
sense of nature and culture. Yet for all its self-conscious
progressivism, German bourgeois modernism was not an inevitable
precursor of neo-liberal global capitalism. It remained a hotly
contested historical construct, which was constantly re-defined in
different geographical and political settings.
One of the most influential photographers working today, Juergen
Teller creates images that are instantly recognisable. Raw, often
overexposed and displaying a spontaneity and candour, Teller s
visual language reflects a measured yet uncompromising sense of
rebellion. This book includes landmark editorials with nearly every
important fashion label of the era and celebrities from Kate Moss
to Charlotte Rampling and Kurt Cobain to Yves Saint Laurent.
Outtakes of iconic shoots (including infamous ones with Courtney
Love, Cindy Sherman, Marc Jacobs, Victoria Beckham, and Bjork) that
have never been published will be included in this volume. Teller
first broke into fashion in 1996 with a magazine cover of a naked
Kristen McMenamy with the word Versace scrawled across her chest.
Since then, his fashion photography has been featured in all the
international Vogues, AnOther Magazine, Index, Self-Service, W,
Details, Purple, i-D, and 032c, among others. A highly sought-after
cult hero and the author of many iconic campaigns, Teller has
collaborated with the likes of Helmut Lang, Raf Simons, Hedi
Slimane, Nicolas Ghesquiere, Phoebe Philo, Vivienne Westwood,
Miuccia Prada, and Isabel Marant, and shot every season of Marc
Jacobs s ready-to-wear collections from 1998 to 2014.
This book collects a set of reflections concerning the planning of
contemporary cities by urban design, with a special emphasis on
some needs and shortcomings emerged during the coronavirus
pandemic. With the ultimate goal of designing accessible, inclusive
and welcoming green cities, it discusses the urgent need for new
systems of public spaces across the city, together with alternative
solutions for individual mobility (especially slow mobility) and
social interaction. It is intended for a broad readership,
including designers, engineers, architects, social scientists,
stakeholders, and public administrators, who deal with various
aspects of the realization of the City 4.0.
A lot has happened in the world of digital design since the first
edition of this title was published, but one thing remains true:
There is an ever-growing number of people attempting to design
everything from newsletters to advertisements with no formal
training. This book is the one place they can turn to find quick,
non-intimidating, excellent design help from trusted design
instructor Robin Williams. This revised and expanded classic
includes a new chapter on designing with type, more quizzes and
exercises, updated projects, and new visual and typographic
examples that give the book a fresh, modern look. In" The
Non-Designer's Design Book, " "4th Edition, " Robin turns her
attention to the basic principles that govern good design. Perfect
for beginners, Robin boils great design into four easy-to-master
principles: contrast, repetition, alignment, and proximity
(C.R.A.P. ). Readers who follow her clearly explained concepts will
produce more sophisticated and professional work immediately.
Humor-infused, jargon-free prose interspersed with design
exercises, quizzes, and illustrations make learning a snap-which is
just what audiences have come to expect from this bestselling
author.
The glorious Manifattura Lenci of Turin is the protagonist of this
volume, which presents one hundred and fifty works belonging to the
Ferrero Collection. Small plastics and decorative sculptures have
made the fortune of this historical manufacture, first active in
the field of cloths and dolls, for 'toys in general, furniture,
furnishings and children's clothing', and subsequently, since 1927,
in the ceramic sector. The Lenci production was inspired by the
fashion magazines of its time, between customs and bon ton,
reflecting the taste of an era and a society, which had identified
in its products the bourgeois status symbol. Lenci was
characterised over the years by the creative contribution of
important artists such as Sandro Vacchetti, Elena Konig Scavini,
Marcello Dudovich, Gigi Chessa, Mario Sturani, and Abele Jacopi,
who made the ceramic production unique and inimitable. In 1934
Sandro Vacchetti, former artistic director of Lenci manufactory,
founded the successful Essevi ceramics, which follows in the
footsteps of Lenci and constitutes a continuation of their style.
The Designer Says is a compendium of quotations from more than one
hundred of history's leading practitioners. Paired on page spreads
like guests at a dinner party, a designer from the nineteenth
century might sit next to one working today or two contemporary
designers may strike up a conversation. This portable collection
makes the perfect gift for designers, students, and anyone curious
about the ideas and personalities that have shaped the art of
visual communication.
