How can you do something special for your guests to make them feel as they are a queen or king at the table? This book is perfect to get that little extra something for a meal or party, to give joy and or just something to talk about! The inspiration for the book comes mainly from nature. The author Tone Rörseth has always been fascinated by the unique diversity of nature, the seasons and the wonderful treasures available for use in the forest and garden. _Here is a fun mix of fruit, vegetables, branches and moss, fabrics, feathers, pearls, silver thread, and both wild and purchased flowers. The goal is that the reader will dare to ignore traditional ideas about what is appropriate to decorate the table with, and instead dare to mix and play with different materials. The result is modern, exciting and beautiful! _A table decoration can be anything or everything! _

From then on until his death Poul Henningsen created lamps in a class which to this day enjoys great demand internationally. This book is about Poul Henningsen's designs and gives an insight into what the PH's are worth. Detailed descriptions accompanies the illustrations.

''Not for the rich but for the smart'' - a perfect motto for IKEA, the company that has spent half a century democratizing good design. This monumental, lavishly illustrated book - almost 500 full-color pages as full of beauty, bright ideas and cool surprises as a visit to IKEA itself - is the first complete presentation ever of the phenomenon that is the world's most successful furniture enterprise. It's an incredible resource for anyone interested in contemporary design and consumer culture. This book tells IKEA's story from its origins as a mail-order company. It details breakthroughs like the invention of the hex wrench and the flat pack, which let the cutting-edge retail giant serve almost 600 million customers in 25 countries in 2009. Chapters showcase the hit parade of the most popular pieces over the decades (the Billy bookshelf has sold millions), and interviews with some of the chain's top designers reveal their surprising passion for the store and its visionary founder, Ingvar Kamprad. This first-edition book itself is destined to be a collector's edition: impeccably printed in Europe, it is published with three different cover colors (pink, green and brown, each with its own ISBN). After a year or so, IKEA will offer its own mass-produced version in a smaller trim size and lower print quality. Like the vintage IKEA catalogs now selling on eBay, get this while you can.

Modernism: Designing a New World offers a reassessment of the concept and reveals the fundamental ways in which it has shaped our world and its visual culture from an international perspective. Modernism flourished between 1914 and 1939, and became a key point of reference for 20th-century architecture, art, and design. This important, lavishly illustrated book demonstrates the movement's continued influence, on everything from the chairs we sit on to the buildings we occupy. The range of objects illustrated-including the fine arts as well as architecture, furniture, manufactured products, film, and graphic design-reflect the period's emphasis on the unity of the arts. Key artists and designers include Mondrian, Le Corbusier, Bourke-White, Eisenstein, Poul Henningsen, Alvar Aalto, Bruno Mathsson, Breuer, and many more designers from around the globe.
