| | | | | Domus 1928-1999: The very best from Seminal Architecture & Design journal. Edited by Charlotte and Peter Fiell 6960pp, 20,000 illustrations. 12 volume set. Text in English, Italian, German and French. For over 75 years, domus has been hailed as the world's most influential architecture and design journal. Founded in 1928 by the architect Gio Ponti, domus has always maintained the same creative and insightful agenda that seeks to identify the style of a particular age, from Art Deco to Late Modern. This twelve volume set reprints selected highlights from those years, reproducing the pages as they originally appeared, accompanied by introductory texts that not only outline the history of the magazine but also describe what was happened in design and architecture during each period covered. Original cover designs are reproduced on each of the 12 volumes remembering the notable design associated with the journal. The volumes have been thoroughly indexed and many of the articles have been translated in English for the first time. An invaluable design reference.

Jean-Michel Frank: L' etrange luxe du rien. By Pierre-Emmanuel Martin-Vivier Jean-Michel Frank (1893-1941) did not construct a new world nor take refuge in a nostalgic past. But he did break elegantly with convention and historical reference, and his creation of modern forms and use of new materials attest to the integrity of his vision. This monograph places Frank's work in the artistic, intellectural, and political context of his time. This volume is only the second major study of Frank. A complement to the earlier survey, this volume attempts to establish a more definitive catlaogue of Frank's designs and to define his place in the hisotry of 20th century design.
