German architect Ludwig Mies van der Rohe is, without doubt, one of the pioneering masters of modern architecture. The modern city, with its towers of glass and steel, can be at least in part attributed to the influence of architect Mies van der Rohe.

El nacimiento la omnipresente fuente tipográfica. . Un celebrado impresor y diseñador tipográfico, Giambattista Bodoni estableció el estándar a la hora de imprimir el alfabeto, con su Manuale tipografico (1818). La edición en dos volúmenes publicada póstumamente en una tirada limitada de 250 ejemplares presenta 142 juegos de tipografías en redonda y cursiva, una amplia selección de filetes, ornamentos, símbolos y florituras, así como los alfabetos griego, hebreo, ruso, árabe, fenicio, armenio, copto y tibetano. Impresor oficial del Duque de Parma, Bodoni (1740-1813) declaró que la belleza de la tipografía bien diseñada deriva de cuatro principios: la uniformidad del diseño, la nitidez y la elegancia, el buen gusto y el encanto. Sus tipografías exhiben un grado sin precedentes de refinamiento técnico y personifican la pureza y la gracia. La culminación de más cuatro décadas de trabajo, el Manuale tipografico representa uno de los mayores logros tipográficos de la historia. La tipografía Bodoni todavía se utiliza ampliamente incluso hoy, tanto en los medios digitales como en los impresos, y la meticulosa reimpresión de TASCHEN de la obra maestra de Bodoni brinda a los lectores una oportunidad excepcional de explorar sus orígenes y aprender sobre su creador.

A 'design classic' is an industrially manufactured object with timeless aesthetic value. It serves as a standard of its kind and, despite the year in which it was designed, is still up to date. The collection presented in these three volumes has been put together by a group of experts following the above criteria. The objects are presented chronologically, beginning with an elegant pair of Chinese bonsai scissors from the early 1800s, still in production today, and ending with Jasper Morrison's recent 'brunch set', which is destined to become a 'classic'. Glancing through the volumes, the reader will gain an understanding not only of the history of design, but a history of taste and culture. The book is an extraordinary journey through the objects that have shaped our society, from the first attempts to combine function and beauty in the nineteenth century, through the machine aesthetics of the thirties, the advent of plastic and other new materials in the fifties and sixties, up to the 'classics'-to-be of the last ten years.The book includes not only classic objects created by great and internationally renowned designers, such as Breuer, Le Corbusier, Dreyfuss, Eames, Yanagi and Castiglioni, to name but a few, but also anonymously designed pieces, such as the clothes peg, the deck chair, the corkscrew and the chopstick, which, in spite of lacking a specific designer, have achieved such perfection in design and functionality that they have eliminated the possibility of improvement. From the paper clip, to the Alvar Aalto Savoy vase, to the Jaguar E Type, all of the objects featured in the book fill our desks, cupboards, kitchens, purses, dreams and pockets.

An illustrated exploration of the story behind Fendi one of the finest and most celebrated luxury brands in the world

Este volumen cubre la carrera de Marc Newson como diseñador, pero con un poco de ambición, puede leerse como un catálogo sobre cómo vivir. Imagine despertarse por la mañana, bañarse, secarse el pelo, vestirse, ponerse las gafas, perfumarse, sentarse a desayunar te con huevos y tostadas, consultar el reloj, hacer la maleta, conducir al aeropuerto, tomar un vuelo y navegar en un lujoso yate. Lo que mas destaca en este escenario, ademas de su opulencia, es que todo lo que hay en el podria ser un diseño de Newson: la cama, la bañera, el secador de pelo, la ropa, los zapatos, los vasos, el frasco de perfume, el hervidor electrico, la tetera, la tostadora, la sarten, la espatula, la vitroceramica, los platos, los cubiertos, el reloj, la silla, la mesa, la iluminacion, la maleta, el coche, el avion e incluso el yate. Ningun proyecto es demasiado pequeño o demasiado grande para Newson, y su carrera es un testimonio de lo que una persona con ambicion, ingenio, curiosidad y versatilidad ilimitadas puede alcanzar. Desde objetos producidos en masa hasta muebles de edicion limitada y grandes obras unicas, Newson ha desdibujado limites, mapeado nuevos territorios y, en el proceso, ha alcanzado la cima de su disciplina. Las contribuciones de Newson al mundo del diseño no pueden calificarse simplemente como innovadoras e influyentes; mas acertado seria decir que su obra es el punto de referencia con el que inevitablemente debe compararse el trabajo de otros diseñadores.Este libro cubre su obra completa hasta la fecha a partir de entradas enciclopedicas ordenadas cronologicamente por categorias, empezando por piezas emblematicas de primera epoca como la comoda Pod of Drawers o el divan Lockheed Lounge (que ostenta el record mundial del precio mas alto pagado por un mueble de un diseñador vivo). Objetos de uso cotidiano, mobiliario, interiores, transporte y joyeria y relojeria. Las descripciones exploran la historia detras de cada pieza y su proceso de creacion, y vienen acompañadas de abundantes citas del propio diseñador. El libro se completa con un indice visual de la obra completa de Newson, una cronologia de su vida, una bibliografia y la historia de sus exposiciones.
