Discover the extraordinary journey of British design through eight decades of innovation, influence and impact, as the Design Council's legacy unfolds from postwar recovery to shaping a sustainable future.Eight Decades of British Design: Design Council, 1944 to Today celebrates the 80th anniversary of the Design Council, the UK's national strategic advisor for design. This lavishly illustrated book traces the evolution of British design from postwar recovery to global phenomenon, showcasing the pivotal role of publicly funded institutions in shaping the country's design legacy. Established in 1944, the Design Council's initial mission was to improve design in British industry. Over eight decades, it has fulfilled this mission and more, connecting designers with communities, influencing government policies and promoting sustainability through initiatives like 'Design for Planet'. The book explores how organisations like the Design Council, Victoria & Albert Museum and leading design universities have fostered worldclass design education and training. It features iconic designs from the Routemaster bus to Alexander McQueen's fashion collections, as well as emerging 'classics of the future' making an impact in the fight against climate change. Divided into nine chapters, one for each decade from the 1940s to today, the book includes contributions from renowned design historians and firsthand accounts from design luminaries such as Paul Smith and Thomas Heatherwick. It also showcases previously unseen images from the Council's rich 80-year archive. Eight Decades of British Design not only celebrates the past but also looks to the future, examining how British design can continue to address the challenges of our time.

A reappraisal of the often-overlooked Chinese bronzes made from the twelfth through nineteenth centuries, demonstrating their profound impact on Chinese art and culture Bronze vessels were the ultimate emblems of power in ancient China. Beginning in the twelfth century, their rediscovery as evidence of an earlier golden age led to a revival of bronze casting. This publication is the first comprehensive study of these later Chinese bronzes in archaic styles, which were commissioned by emperors and officials from the twelfth through the nineteenth centuries to assert political legitimacy and alignment with traditional values. Renowned scholar Pengliang Lu redresses the misconception that these works were mere imitations of the ancient vessels they emulated, demonstrating that they were in fact creative reinterpretations of antique shapes and decorative motifs that transformed functional objects into symbols of erudition and taste. Featuring nearly two hundred objects, many never before publishedincluding ceremonial bells, incense burners, flower vases, ritual vessels, and writing utensilsLu explores their cultural and political significance from the Song dynasty through the Qing dynasty and shows their enormous influence on Chinese art and culture.

Scandinavian studio jewellery is simply unimaginable without Tone Vigeland (b. 1938) and her work. Her distinctive objects flatter the human body, captivate through their dimensions and volume, and yet are assembled from a variety of the tiniest hand-crafted components: tubes of silver wire, precisely cut plates, spheres and eyelets, all in small scale, are invisibly interconnected, and Vigeland"s use of heavily oxidised, almost iron-black silver and steel is a typical feature. The result: art on the human body - highly aesthetic, perfectly executed and always wearable. Around 150 jewellery objects from 1958 to 2010 document the pioneering creative work by Tone Vigeland and are complemented with a selection of objects and sculptures from 1998 to the present day, which can now be seen in an exhibition and publication for the very first time.

Das Schmuckmuseum Pforzheim ist weltweit das einzige Museum in öffentlicher Hand, das sich ausschließlich dem Schmuck widmet. Seine Sammlungen umfassen Originale aus fünf Jahrtausenden, von der Ur- und Frühgeschichte bis zur Gegenwart. Schwerpunkte liegen auf Kleinodien der griechischen und etruskischen Antike, der Renaissance und des Barocks. Herausragend sind die Preziosen aus der Zeit des Jugendstils sowie die einzigartige Kollektion moderner Schmuckkunst ab 1960. Zwei weitere, seit 2006 als Dauerleihgaben gezeigte Sammlungen ergänzen den Bestand um wesentliche Gesichtspunkte: die Sammlung ethnografischen Schmucks von Eva und Peter Herion und die Taschenuhren-Sammlung Philipp Weber aus dem Besitz der Sparkasse Pforzheim Calw.
Die vielfältigen Beziehungen zwischen Zeichnung und Schmuck stellen einen weitgehend unbekannten Aspekt des zeitgenössischen Künstlerschmucks dar. Die erste Publikation zu diesem Thema richtet daher den Fokus auf das zeichnerische Werk bekannter wie auch aufstrebender Künstler, das in der Gegenüberstellung mit Schmuck-Objekten neue Perspektiven eröffnet. Doch geht es um die Zeichnung als künstlerische Handlung und autonome Äußerung, denn darin etabliert sich die Grenzüberschreitung der Disziplin, ihre experimentelle Expansion und das Streben nach Erweiterung des gewohnten Terrains. Sie begleitet die ästhetische Reflektion und veranschaulicht die kreativen Schwingungen und den intimen Dialog mit dem künstlerischen Impuls. Ein wegweisendes Werk, das die Verquickung angewandter und bildender Kunst eindrucksvoll vor Augen führt!

Atticus "Finch" Davani does not want to be an astronaut. He hates space, he hates the ship, and he strongly dislikes his fellow crew members. He makes that painfully clear in his letters to Aku, his corporate-assigned penpal back on Earth. Soon, Aku becomes much more than a penpal. But when the crew engage hyperdrive, Aku's punctual letters start coming at random intervals, and Finch and his shipmates realize that time, for them, is moving all wrong.As everyone else's penpals rapidly die of old age, Finch turns, heartbroken, to Aku; who, more than a century later, is still there. DEAR STUPID PENPAL is an entirely epistolary exploration of cosmic dread, the passing of time, and the lifelines we cling to against the vast endlessness of space."A joyously weird tale of unexpected genre mashups, overwhelming odds, quotable lines, and queer romance that even the most jaded cynic can't help but get swept up in." Íde Hennessey, "Sequoia Point", Split Scream: Off the Map"Veers from funny to dread-inducing and back again...sits alongside This Is How You Lose the Time War as a blueprint for compelling, propulsive, epistolary [fiction]."Emma Cole, Love Never Dies, editor at Harlequin Books

The articles may be of substantial length, and include critical notices of major books. OSAP is now published twice yearly, in both hardback and paperback."'Have you seen the latest OSAP?' is what scholars of ancient philosophy say to each other when they meet in corridors or on coffee breaks. Whether you work on Plato or Aristotle, on Presocratics or sophists, on Stoics, Epicureans, or Sceptics, on Roman philosophers or Greek Neoplatonists, you are liable to find OSAP articles now dominant in the bibliography of much serious published work in your particular subject: not safe to miss."- Malcolm Schofield, Cambridge University"OSAP was founded to provide a place for long pieces on major issues in ancient philosophy. In the years since, it has fulfilled this role with great success, over and over again publishing groundbreaking papers on what seemed to be familiar topics and others surveying new ground to break. It represents brilliantly the vigour-and the increasingly broad scope-of scholarship in ancient philosophy, and shows us all how the subject should flourish."- M.M.
