Archimede Seguso: Mid-Mod Glass from Murano: Lace & Stone
ISBN: 9780764326615 / Angielski / Twarda / 2007 / 244 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Archimede Seguso (1909-1999), one of the great Muranese masters, took traditional glassmaking techniques to extremes. His introduction of merletto lacework technique at the Venice Biennale of 1952 turned heads. His secret for embedding fine lacy threads of glass was never shared. Rather than apply the filigree to the surface of vessels as was traditionally done, Seguso floated these delicate wisps of color inside the glass. Archimede Seguso was also a sculptor. His preference for solid glass and love of nature resulted in a glass menagerie of feathered, scaled, and furry creatures. In the...

The Synthetic '70s: Fabric of the Decade
ISBN: 9780764307171 / Angielski / Miękka / 1998 / 112 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. The decade of the 1970s, like the 1960s, was one of extremes. Traditional plaids and prints, which were reintroduced, became popular at the same time that bold prints and geometrics, including Op Art and "psychedelic" patterns and colors, characterized the fabric and fashion. Synthetics were everywhere and made into everything, and phrases like "polyester knit" and "stretch knit" elicit visions of '70s staples that are unmistakable. The best way to experience the fabric of a decade is to see it, and this book is entirely dedicated to the sensory, the visual. Nearly 300 close-up color...
