The work of women designers has not traditionally been the focus of mainstream histories of design. By revealing the untold story of female design pioneers, this comprehensive introduction celebrates their crucial role in the history of modern processes of making. Arranged chronologically, this guide considers the structural barriers to professional success and how women overcame these hurdles, charting the success of designers including Anni Albers at the Bauhaus, the architect Eileen Grey, interior decorator Elsie de Wolfe and fashion icon Mary Quant, focusing on the key subjects of architecture, craft, fashion, furniture, graphics, interior, product and textile design. The link between early twentieth-century revolutionary design and lifestyle is explored, as well the ideas of shopping and consumerism as a liberating activity. The important contribution of designers during and after the Second World War is also discussed, along with design activism, design collectives and the current success of women working transnationally in architecture and design.

As locuses of creativity, the homes of artists reflect the intellectual worlds of their creators. Starting with the Villa Stuck in Munich―the aesthetic, conceptual cosmos and life’s work of the aristocratic artist Franz von Stuck―this unique volume integrates the artist’s house as a category into the international discourse and is the first to assign these buildings the status of major works. About 20 examples bring to life the fascination that these artistic fantasies hold for art lovers, including both existing projects and some which, although they have been lost, were of unique importance in their day and still retain their charisma. Along with paintings, sculptures and photographs, plans and models convey the interrelationship between art and life as well as the harmony of the arts expressed by Richard Wagner’s historical concept of the total work of art. Among the houses featured are Sir John Soane’s Museum, London; William Morris’ Red House, Bexleyheath; Louis Comfort Tiffany’s Tiffany House, New York City; Mortimer Menpes’ flat, London; the Fernand Khnopff Villa, Brussels; Jacques Majorelle’s villa and garden, Marrakesh; Kurt Schwitters’ Merzbau, Hanover; and Max Ernst’s house, Arizona. Künstlerhäuser spiegeln als Schatzhäuser der Kreativität die geistigen Welten ihrer Schöpfer wider. Ausgehend von der Villa Stuck in München, ästhetisch-gedanklicher Kosmos und Lebensgesamtkunstwerk des Künstlerfürsten Franz von Stuck, ordnet der einmalige Band den Typus des Künstlerhauses in einen internationalen Kontext ein und verleiht diesen Bauten erstmals den Rang bedeutender Kunstwerke. Rund 20 Beispiele aus Europa und Amerika lassen die Faszination, die derart gebaute Künstlerfantasien auf den Kunstliebhaber ausüben, lebendig werden, darunter sowohl existierende als auch verloren gegangene Projekte, die in ihrer Zeit von einzigartiger Bedeutung waren und bis heute faszinierende Strahlkraft besitzen. Gemälde, Skulpturen und Fotografien, die mit den Häusern in engem Zusammenhang stehen, sowie Pläne und Modelle vermitteln den Einklang von Kunst und Leben sowie einer Harmonie der Künste, die im historischen Begriff des Gesamtkunstwerks nach Richard Wagner ihren Ausdruck fand.

Every built structure has an interior: whether it takes the rough form of a rudimentary shelter, the grey walls of a hospital or the finessed decoration of a one-off residence. We spend most of our time inside buildings.Shut your eyes and you will find yourself in your own interior. You will always be inside. Mastering the language, thinking and history of the interior is critical to understanding and designing spaces. This essential primer transcends the boundaries and genres that often define interiors, providing a comprehensive view of the concepts and vocabulary of interior design. Written as an accessible 'treasury' of principal terms and ideas, Inside Information engages with the past, uncovering the future potential of the interior, and its design. --

Plastic has shaped our daily lives like no other material. Originally associated with convenience, progress, even revolution, today plastic seems to have lost its utopian appeal. Plastic is everywhere, yet most conspicuous as waste and as a key factor in the global environmental crisis. This book examines the success story of plastic in the twentieth century and at the same time presents the different discourses on how we should tackle the global plastic waste crisis and find solutions that lead us towards a plastic economy that is truly circular. Mark Miodownik, Susan Freinkel, and Nanjala Nyabola each contribute an essay that sheds light on the history of plastics from 1850 to today. A material-rich visual chronology illustrates how consumers' perception of plastics has changed over the decades. Brief descriptions of a selection of 40 objects from renowned collections examine the importance of plastics for material culture. Reprints of fundamental texts about the history of plastics from Alexander Parkes (1865) to Max Liboiron (2018) provide a context from the history of ideas. The book reflects the current discourse and state of research on plastic with numerous individual interviews and panel discussions that were held with designers, representatives from industry, researchers, and environmental activists. Underpinning these conversations are comprehensive data visualizations on plastic production and consumption, recycling.
