The uncompromising bad boy of postwar Danish design, Verner Panton created enduring icons of pop culture, beloved the world over. He broke with the Scandinavian tradition of handcrafted teak-wood furniture to pioneer the use of plastic, fibreglass, synthetic fabrics, and industrial mass production, and this thoroughly researched and exhaustively illustrated book examines Panton''s ground-breaking approach to environments, systems, patterns and color. Panton''s oeuvre is a truly pioneering achievement, the wide-ranging influence of which is still felt today.Containing a wealth of images, including hand-drawn sketches by Panton, personal photographs, and advertisements from the official Panton archive, this monograph documents the astonishing breadth of Panton''s work, from candlesticks and clocks to the seminal S Chair and Living Tower, to total floor-to-ceiling interiors, encompassing textiles, lighting, and furniture.This book is organized thematically with Panton''s unique approach to environments, systems, and vividly illustrated patterns, and features a comprehensive, illustrated chronology of Panton''s works, including many unrealized projects.

Ventanas al pasado muestra cómo la tecnología y el arte se ponen al servicio de las Humanidades para la creación de estas imágenes. Además, pone de manifiesto que la reconstrucción gráfica no es algo reciente, sino que a lo largo de la historia ya se realizaba mediante grabados, pinturas o maquetas, y que, analizando esas antiguas ventanas, podemos entender que no solo nos hablan del pasado que representan, sino que tambien relatan el presente desde el que se abrieron.

Choosing a particular bicycle conveys an attitude and a way of life. For a young generation, bicycles have now replaced cars as the vehicles that best express its identity and this book shows why. Riding a bike is easy. Once someone can do it, they will never forget how. Riding a bike can be addictive--in the best cases for life. Understanding the subtleties of contemporary bicycle culture can be challenging. Like it or not, choosing to ride a particular bike--whether an old-fashioned city bicycle, a high-tech machine, a mountain bike, a touring bike, a fixie, or a beach cruiser--means being associated with a certain lifestyle. Velo--2nd Gear explores these diverse bicycle scenes and reveals their histories, relationships, and insightful details. Alongside its presentation of especially attractive and unusual bicycles, the book documents how riders'' accessories and styles vary just as widely as the bikes'' tires and other equipment. It explains how each scene cultivates its own distinct codes through the choice of certain jerseys, caps, or bags or by visiting specific events or key establishments. The examples in Velo--2nd Gear span the globe. Tours in traditional costumes and on historical paths in Belgium or Italy are not only appealing as athletic challenges, but also as adventures for cosmopolitan travelers. In urban centers at night, bicycle messengers hold races on city streets. Specialized bike boutiques focus on details such as customized paint jobs. Frame builders in Oregon, Paris, or southern Germany create highly coveted bikes tailored to individuals or in very limited editions with long waiting lists. Velo--2nd Gear makes abundantly clear that contemporary bicycle culture is more alive and well than ever before. The book celebrates its healthy, environmentally-friendly, discerning, and slightly obsessive scenes and their protagonists. It shows why, for a young generation, bicycles have now replaced cars as the vehicles that best express its identity. Show more Show less

Es difícil debatir que nosotros como sociedad estamos obsesionados con la tecnología. Muchas de nuestras relaciones, con el arte, la literatura o con nosotros mismos, se mantienen principalmente a traves de algun interfase digital. Nuevas plataformas interesantes continuamente aparecen en el mercado ofreciendo mas prestaciones que sus predecesores. El resultado suele ser la obsolescencia forzada de los sistemas anteriores. Pero en el arte y el diseño, ha ocurrido un cambio en los ultimos años hacia procesos mas lo-fi, una nueva necesidad de un componente personal y de la expresividad que solo puede crear la mano humana. Los graficos vectoriales han sobrevivido a esta tendencia, ocupando su sitio al lado de tecnicas mas caseras. Las fuentes de inspiracion muchas veces siguen siendo iguales, pueden venir de la cultura popular o bien como un homenaje a la nostalgia. La ejecucion es precisa y original, con una capacidad unica para el color y el diseño, y una gran versatilidad de escala. Vectorism explora el estado de graficos vectoriales contemporaneos y su importancia continuada en el mundo del diseño.
