An unprecedented level of craft is the key signature of Uniacke s
design ethos, on display in this much-anticipated monograph of
notable homes she has created. In-demand London-based interiors and
furniture designer Rose Uniacke beautifully showcases the homes she
has designed, boasting clean lines and calm, light-filled spaces,
and showrooms defined by an effortless blend of traditional details
within contemporary spaces. Whether the project is an urban
townhouse, a seaside retreat, or a London villa, the approach of
Uniacke is always the same a collaboration with clients to make
understated, refined sanctuaries that offer the perfect settings
for everyday life. The book is sumptuously illustrated with two
hundred color photographs taken by industry masters Francois Halard
and Simon Upton that truly capture the serenity and timelessness of
Uniacke s hand-hewn cultivated style. The pages of this book exude
the same warmth of an Uniacke interior, heightened by the author s
own words as she describes in detail the specifics of each of the
thirteen projects explored. The result is akin to an informal
conversation, with Uniacke revisiting her journey to share
instincts and inspirations. A complete index of Rose Uniacke
Editions, the designer s furniture, lighting, and textiles,
completes this elegant volume.

This is the definitive book on Wedgwood, the preeminent luxury
china brand in the world and the essence of English design and
craftsmanship. Founded in 1759, Wedgwood has a deep heritage in
pottery making that represents timeless design and enduring style.
The eponymous founder, Josiah Wedgwood, was an entrepreneur and
visionary who quickly became Britain s most successful ceramics
pioneer, elevating pottery from a cottage craft into a luxury good
and an art form. He was the mastermind behind Wedgwood s most
enduring pieces, including Queen s Ware, Black Basalt, and
Jasperware. That tradition of master craftsmanship and innovation
continues today as Wedgwood works with celebrated designers such as
Vera Wang and Jasper Conran. With historic photographs, drawings,
and watercolours from Wedgwood s extensive archive, which display
the craftsmanship and technical innovation, this book is a visual
celebration of English design. It offers a lavish look at some of
the most timeless china creations in history with a focus on
Wedgwood s 100 icons, in-depth essays on the brand and its history,
and pattern books and sketches from the Wedgwood archives. While
paying homage to the pioneering spirit of Wedgwood, this volume
documents the achievements of a brand that is a symbol of elegance
and timelessness, infusing classic craftsmanship with fresh design,
and promises to impress fans of Wedgwood, old and new.

In celebration of Swarovski's 120th anniversary, this is the
much-awaited and first significant book on the premier maker of
luxury crystals. Swarovski crystals have had a multifaceted
significance in the world of culture--from elaborate embroideries
for Christian Dior, to the ruby slippers in The Wizard of Oz, and
one-of-a-kind commissions for crystal chandeliers by top
contemporary designers--yet there has never been a visual
celebration of this heritage until now. Organized in four sections,
this book looks at the history of the world-renowned crystal house:
"Fashion" examines Swarovski's role in couture, from Coco Chanel
and the fashion of the 1930s and '40s to Alexander McQueen; "Film"
showcases fashion and jewelry created for the cinema, from costumes
for Greta Garbo to set pieces in James Bond films; "Jewelry"
celebrates elegant pieces from the house of Dior to the innovative
designs by Zaha Hadid and Philip Treacy; and "Design" examines
lighting and art installations, from Tord Boontje's crystal
"Blossom" light to the Swarovski Crystal Palace installations at
Design Miami. Swarovski's storied heritage and the brand's
cutting-edge presence today, including its collaborations and
kaleidoscopic influence, will be fascinating to lovers of fashion,
design, and film alike.
