Limited edition design is hot. But can we really talk about design here? Or does it go beyond all limits of art? Some critics adopt a middle course in calling it 'designart'. Design/Art, Limited Editions deals with this phenomenon, as it presents itself today.In cooperation with international, specialised galleries, the publishers have composed an overview of the creations of more than seventy international designers. Opening with the conclusions of a vivid discussion between several curators and design critics - who obviously couldn't arrive at a uniform opinion on the subject - this publication aims to enrich your personal insight into the subject. Each copy of the book contains a serial number, perfectly reflecting the concept of limited edition design.

When does a carpet transcend the category of interior accessory to become art? This well-illustrated book features 200 carpets found in behind-the scenes tours of amazing homes around the world. In thematic chapters, it covers the main international trends, from Ethnic to Art Deco and from Contemporary to Artsy. These dressed-up living spaces provide inspiration for anyone fascinated by stylish living, creative interior design and the myriad possibilities for home decor. In addition, the author provides helpful information on the provenance of materials, quality of design, composition and workmanship possibilities for home decor. It’s a fascinating glimpse into the homes of people with a good taste. Carpets & Rugs is comprehensive and more relevant than ever.
