Estrid Ericson är en centralfigur inom svensk design och genom hennes livsverk Svenskt Tenn är arvet i högsta grad levande. Men vem var Estrid själv? I den här boken berättas om hennes hela liv, i text och bild. En oerhört vacker och fascinerande historia om en stil- och målmedveten kvinna som lyckades skapa något beständigt i en tid i ständig framåtrörelse.
I den här personliga biografin får vi komma nära Estrid Ericson, på ett nytt vis. Det spännande samarbetet med Josef Frank och andra formgivare, och hur hon byggde upp sitt livsverk.

Men i den här biografin tar också andra mer privata stråk plats, som hennes nära relationer och äktenskap, och berättelsen om det älskade sommarhuset Tolvekarna på Tyresö, vars trädgård kom att prägla butikens utveckling.

"Det som gör Ulrica Sieverts bok På jakt efter Josef Frank så intressant är att den både beskriver Josef Franks personliga öde och hur det är kopplat till den europeiska historien."
Nina Asarnoj, P1 Kultur
”På jakt efter Josef Frank är en läsupplevelse. /.../ "Det är främst det dubbla perspektivet med klassisk biografi kombinerat med djupdykning i breven som ger berättandet ett extra sug. Epoken som skildras är dessutom oerhört intressant, både när det gäller arkitektur och formgivning samt utvecklingen i stort med en framväxande demokrati i Europa och två världskrig."
Mats Wickman, SvD
Josef Frank är en av våra mest kända och älskade formgivare. Han föddes i Österrike där han var verksam som tongivande arkitekt, men tvingades lämna allt när hemlandet blev annekterat av nazisterna. Här blev han snabbt känd för sitt samarbete med Estrid Ericson på inredningsfirman Svenskt Tenn, vilket resulterade i en unik inredningsstil som idag betraktas som något typiskt svenskt.
Men bakom framgångssagan och de färgglada fantasifulla floramönstren döljer sig en dramatisk och gripande livshistoria och en sammansatt person, som både är en centralgestalt i svensk kulturhistoria och en outsider som aldrig fick det erkännande han önskade.
Ulrica Sievert har tidigare skrivit en bok om Josef Franks akvareller, men det är som om han vägrar släppa taget – någon vecka efter lanseringen dyker det upp en låda med hundratals brev som leder allt djupare in i berättelsen om människan bakom ikonen Josef Frank.
Här anas Franks röst och möjliga svar på många av frågorna hon ställt sig: Om hans syn på Sverige och hur han blev behandlad när han kom hit på 30-talet. Hur han upplevde åren i exil i New York under andra världskriget, långt borta från judiska släktingar och familjen som försvann. Hur det kändes att inte längre få några arkitektuppdrag. Vad han egentligen tyckte om Estrid Ericson. Och om den livslånga relationen till sin frus kusin Dagmar Grill.
Genom Frank gestaltas också sökandet efter identitet och tillhörighet samt den kreativa drivkraften som ett sätt att hitta pauser i en verklighet som annars blir svår att uthärda. En skildring av en människa som med krass humor och intensiv skaparkraft försöker finna distans, hopp och skönhet i en bitvis grym värld som har många likheter med vår samtid.

The creative duo Charles Eames (1907–1978) and Ray Kaiser Eames (1912–1988) transformed the visual character of America. Though best known for their furniture, the husband and wife team were also forerunners in architecture, textile design, photography, and film. The Eameses’ work defined a new, multifunctional modernity, exemplary for its integration of craft and design, as well as for the use of modern materials, notably plywood and plastics. The Eames Lounge Chair Wood, designed with molded plywood technology, became a defining furniture piece of the 20th century, while the couple’s contribution to the Case Study Houses project not only made inventive use of industrial materials but also developed an adaptable floor plan of multipurpose spaces which would become a hallmark of postwar modern architecture.From the couple’s earliest furniture experiments to their seminal short film Powers of Ten, this book covers all the aspects of the illustrious Eames repertoire and its revolutionary impact on middle-class American living.

The creative genius who gave us the Little Black Dress and Chanel No. 5. Almost 50 years after her death, Coco Chanel remains one of the world's most influential fashion designers.

There is much wisdom to glean from Chanel's self-reflections, while her sharp wit and joie de vivre will amuse, surprise and inspire in equal measure. 'Fashion changes, but style endures.'

From the legendary Tank Girl to live-action animations with Gorillaz, a Chinese contemporary opera to an exhibition at the Saatchi Gallery, artist Jamie Hewlett is one of the most energetic figures of contemporary pop culture.With influences ranging from hip hop to zombie slasher movies, Hewlett emerged in the mid-1990s as co-creator of the zeitgeist-defining Tank Girl comic. With then-roommate Damon Albarn, he went on to create the groundbreaking cartoon band Gorillaz. The award-winning virtual pop group of animated characters is a truly global phenomenon. Gorillaz have topped charts around the world, toured the globe from San Diego to Syria, and picked up hundreds of millions of streams and record sales along the way.Since then, Hewlett has continued to collaborate with Albarn on projects including an elaborate staging of the Chinese novel Monkey: Journey to the West by Wu Cheng’en, complete with circus acrobats, Shaolin monks, and Chinese singers. In 2006, he was named Designer of the Year by the Design Museum in London, and in 2009, Hewlett and Albarn won a BAFTA for their animated Monkey sequence for the Beijing Olympic Games. In 2015 The Suggestionists, an exhibition of prints at the Saatchi Gallery in London, demonstrated an exciting new direction in Hewlett’s practice.This special edition celebrating TASCHEN’s 40th anniversary updates Hewlett’s first major monograph with around 30 brand new pieces. The book illustrates his thrilling creative journey with more than 400 artworks from the Tank Girl era through Gorillaz and up to the present day. Through stories, characters, strips, and sketches, we trace Hewlett’s exceptional capacity for invention and celebrate a polymath artist who refuses to rest on his laurels, or to be pigeonholed into a particular practice.

Along the way, readers will discover stories behind the boots worn by football’s greatest names, including Brazilian striker Ronaldo, Portuguese phenom Cristiano Ronaldo, US Women’s National Team star Megan Rapinoe, and emerging French icon Kylian Mbappé, among others.Lavishly illustrated with 500 images, Nike Football Boots showcases boot close-ups, on-feet shots, concepts, posters and advertising, film screenshots, material swatches, sketches, prototypes and ephemera from the Department of Nike Archives (DNA). A 12-page glossy insert displays every model of boot highlighted in the DNA, from 1971 to today. This visual homage to the sport is also an engaging read: celebrated author Caleb Azumah Nelson sets the scene for each chapter, discussing how the culture and style of the decade influenced each boot’s design, while historian Thomas Turner delves deep into the technical innovations that made each boot so successful. An introduction by curator Eleanor Watson puts football design more globally into context.

‘Books have traced the lives of great designers before, but few serve to double as a visual history of British popular culture. What this book deftly demonstrates is that Smith has not just been going for 50 years, he’s been interwoven with our national aesthetic for 50 years.’ – Esquire A timely celebration of British design legend Sir Paul Smith and his one-of-a-kind creativity This innovative book captures the unique spirit of British fashion icon Sir Paul Smith through 50 objects chosen by Sir Paul himself for the inspiration they have provided him over the years – from a wax plate of spaghetti and a Dieter Rams radio to a Mario Bellini Cab chair and a bicycle seat. Each object has impacted his worldview, his creative process, and his adherence to a design approach that’s always imbued with distinctly British wit and eccentricity. The book covers subjects as varied as breaking down the formality of wearing a suit, the importance of wit, and the benefits of remaining independent in an increasingly monopolized world, and includes personal contributions – handwritten notes, a sketch, or photograph – from such fashion and design heavyweights as Manolo Blahnik, Inès de la Fressange, Martin Parr, and John Pawson. Updated with a fresh new fabric cover featuring the brand’s signature stripe and a brand-new preface written by Sir Paul especially for this edition, Paul Smith provides the ultimate insight into one of the fashion world’s most-loved creators.

A long-overdue English translation of Munari's seminal tract on the everyday value of architecture and design educationThe first ever English translation of Bruno Munari's Design and Visual Communication (1968) fills a gap in Munari's output for the English-speaking world and provides a highly relevant guide to bridging architecture and design education and everyday life.Published in 1968 after Munari was invited to the Carpenter Center at Harvard to teach, the book transforms over 50 lessons, class materials and letters addressed to the city of Milan, into a book on the future of art, architecture and design. Conceived as a living volume, the book is written to inspire current and future designers to push beyond past events, however recent, and develop new tools to see and understand tomorrow's world.Accompanying the facsimile reproduction of the original volume are in-depth contextual annotations by Jeffrey Schnapp. As a Munari scholar and design historian, Schnapp has spent years unearthing the radical potential of critical historical material. His annotations and micro-interventions throughout the facsimile reprint seek to fulfill Munari's call for an evolution of the book in form and content and highlight how this work is as relevant today as when originally published.Bruno Munari (1907–98) was an Italian artist, designer and inventor who contributed fundamentals to many fields of visual arts (painting, sculpture, film, industrial design, graphic design) in modernism, futurism, and concrete art and in nonvisual arts (literature, poetry) with his research on games, didactic method, movement, tactile learning, kinesthetic learning and creativity.

In 1983, Japanese designer Issey Miyake told The New Yorker that he aspired “to forge ahead, to break the mold.” With the boundary-defying fashion lines that followed, he not only broke molds, but recast clothing altogether. With a unique fusion of poetry and practicality, his creations blur the boundaries between tradition, modern technology, and everyday function.This definitive history of Miyake’s clothes from 1960 to 2022 offers expert insight into the designer’s vision and daring. Initiated and conceived by Midori Kitamura, the book looks at the texture-driven originality of Miyake’s materials and techniques from the very earliest days of his career, before he had even established the Miyake Design Studio. Drawing on nearly 50 years of collaborative work with Miyake, Kitamura creates an encyclopedic reference of his material and technical innovations through the clothes from his A Piece of Cloth concept, Body Series of the 1980s, Miyake Pleats series, and such practical, everyday designs as his Pleats Please pieces.Stunning photographs capture his clothes in their particular quotidian originality. In her far-reaching essay, meanwhile, leading cultural figure Kazuko Koike offers both a complete chronology of Miyake’s work and an unprecedented personal profile, looking at the ambition and inspirations that drove his repertoire from tender teenage years. A must-have for designers, students, and fashion devotees, this is a timeless tribute to one of the most innovative makers of our age.
