Desire - The Shape of Things to Come

Design in the 21st century has liberated itself from industrial conditions and the associated physical demands. With new technology, expanded choice of materials and the practice of luxurious craftsmanship, designers are embracing design with scintillating attitude, challenging aesthetic boundaries and speculating new expressions in visual codes. Desire documents current developments in furniture and object design today, showcasing recent work by the most exciting and influential designers from around the globe categorized into four distinct trends and groups: Modernists, Taletellers, Inventors and Entertainers.

Desire is an up-to-date comprehensive survey on furniture and object design today showcasing the crème de la crème of designers culled from around worldwide. It presents celebrated designers who represent the Modernists, creating sophisticated designs that are redefining the formal language of Modernism blending the restraint of form with the refined use of materials. They are featured along with the inventors; visionary designers who continue to challenge our perception of design with futuristic shapes, and the experimental, innovative and often unprecedented use of materials.

Furthermore, Desire documents a wave of designers who are practicing a more playful approach to design and producing products that are tale telling. It introduces designers that are merging various design disciplines producing a new expressive language. They show references to historical events and times, follow conceptual and materials processes and are decorative in nature with visually striking shapes and graphic motifs. The book also explores the growing area of design as art, exhibiting recent work by designers who are creating provocative one-off pieces and limited editions. Produced with experimental freedom and intended for a niche market, they are entertaining in nature and exhibited at prestigious design galleries and sold at international auction houses.

With a foreword and chapter introduction texts written by Andrej Kupetz the Managing Director of the German Design Council as well as designer profiles, this indispensable reference provides valuable insight into the current state of furniture design practice. The pioneering examples in Desire will shape the future aesthetic of product, furniture and object design and pave the way we will live in the 21st century.

"A&A was instrumental in putting American Architecture on the map."
Julius Shulman

This collection comes with ten boxes, each containing a complete year’s worth of Arts & Architecture magazines from 1945–1954. That’s 6,076 pages in 118 issues reproduced in their entirety—beginning with Entenza’s January 1945 announcement of the Case Study House Program. Also included is a supplement booklet with an original essay by former A&A publisher David Travers, available in English, German, French, and Spanish. Arts & Architecture 1945–54 will be followed in autumn 2009 by a second set, 1955–1967, bringing together all the existing issues of the modern era.

This new TASCHEN publication, limited to 5,000 numbered copies, provides a comprehensive record of mid-century American architecture and brings the legendary Arts & Architecture back to life after forty years.

14 Series

The 14 is a family of low voltage pendants designed to be clustered. Each individual pendant is an articulated cast glass sphere with a frosted cylindrical void that houses a 10-watt halogen lamp or 1.5 watt LED. Unlike most contemporary lighting, the 14 series pendants are visually subtle and don’t dominate a room. When multiplied en masse, however, the 14 pendants gain tremendous visual strength—the effect is that of many tiny candles encased in floating spheres of water.

Designer: Omer Arbel (Canada)
