About this title

Synopsis

Limited Edition ist das neue Schlagwort im M�beldesign. Die Nachfrage nach Einzelst�cken steigt mehr und mehr. Designer zelebrieren mit Prototypen, Unikaten und limitierten Produktserien einen Individualit�tskult f�r alle Preisklassen: M�bel-Prototypen, schon immer Bestandteil des industriellen Enwurfsprozesses, werden jetzt aus der Werkstatt geholt und als Verk�rperung eines allerneuesten Trends der �ffentlichkeit vorgef�hrt. Unikate, exklusiv und mit handwerklicher Note, lassen sich im Global Village mit standardisierten Waren zu begehrten Objekten deklarieren. Limitierte M�belserien befriedigen den Sammlerhunger nach Objekten, die als M�belskulpturen die Grenze zwischen Design und Kunst aufl�sen und so auch eine neue Elite von Design-Galeristen hervorgebracht haben.
Limited Edition sp�rt diesem neuen Trend im M�beldesign nach und deckt dessen Hintergr�nde auf: in sorgf�ltigen Recherchen, entstanden auf der Grundlage eines kontinuierlichen Austauschs der Autorin mit Designern, Galeristen und Herstellern. Anhand gro�artiger Abbildungen und in einem reizvollen Layout pr�sentiert es die besten und atemberaubendsten St�cke der f�hrenden Designer.

From the Back Cover

Through design prototypes, limited editions and design-as-art objects, Limited Edition documents a new phenomenon in contemporary furniture design. This comprehensive and inspiring volume is illustrated with a rich selection of works that reflect the very best of this new area. As well as new and behind-the-scenes images from some of its leading protagonists, including Gaetano Pesce, Marc Newson, Maarten Baas, Tom Dixon, Studio Job, Zaha Hadid and Johanna Grawunder, Limited Edition contains an equally fascinating collection of works by newcomers and comparative unknowns. From over 40 interviews with key designers, manufacturers, gallerists, auctioneers and critics, the author Sophie Lovell has catalogued and compiled a unique and timely overview of one of the most exciting creative fields of our age.

Store Description

We stock books about art, design, fashion, heritage/history and gender/sexuality, specialising in books about Australian, Asian & Pacific arts, crafts design and cultural history. Since we are committed to marginalised and innovative social and cultural practices, we are more likely to have books on women artists or dissident life than coffee-table books on iconic figures. This shop is in Sydney's legendary Kings Cross area, which has provided alternatives to this country's normalcy and suburbia for the last 80 years. Colloquially known as 'The Cross', this name signifies Antipodean bohemia, streetgangs and a world-famous red light district etc. THE CROSS Art + Books is a foundation member of The Bookdealers Guild (NSW).
