Willi Glaeser
Niggli Verlag, 2008
Wie entstehen Produkte? Wie läuft die Zusammenarbeit zwischen Designer, Herstel ler und zugezogenen Spezialisten? Am Beispiel der Möbelkollektion Wogg erläutert der Autor Willi Glaeser das Vorgehen anhand von Entwicklungsgeschichten. Der Weg vom Projekt zum Produkt ist jedes Mal anders. Immer fängt man bei null oder fast bei null an. Produkte zu kreieren ist faszinierend, vor allem dann, wenn echt Neues entstehen soll. Die vorliegende Publikation präsentiert nicht nur die erfolgreichen Produkte, sondern ebenso die Niederlagen, die Flops - und liefert damit Designern wichtige Erfahrungsberichte an die Hand. Die Schweizer Möbelfirma Wogg wurde 1981 von Willi und Otto Glaeser in BadenDättwil gegründet. Seit 1983 wurden bei Wogg zusammen mit namhaften Designem insgesamt 46 Produkte entwickelt. Einige gelten bereits heute als Klassiker, beispielsweise die Litfass-Säule Wogg 13, die Eiipsenmöbel Wogg 17 sowie Wogg 4, ein Schrank mit Rollfront, und der Kofferschrank Wogg 8, beide in der Dauerausstellung des Museums für Gestaltung, Zürich.

25,000 Years of Jewelry
Maren Eichhorn-Johannsen, Adelheid Rasche, Astrid Bahr and Svenia Schneider
Prestel, 2021
This book reaches back 25,000 years to trace the history of jewelry from the Paleolithic era to the present day. Drawn from the extensive holdings of the Staatliche Museen in Berlin, this collection of jewelry through the ages links cultures and eras to show how the design, wearing, and collecting of personal adornment has evolved over the ages. They range from classic items such as necklaces, rings and earrings to less common items with origins in non-European cultures. The book features jewelry, ranging from the splendid crowns of ancient Greece, gold earrings from Babylon and jewelled collars worn by 13th-century Islamic royalty to more modern pieces such as those contained in the imperial collection of Queen Louise of Prussia, Art Nouveau jewelry designed by Rene Lalique, and work by contemporary designers. This chronologically arranged survey includes numerous brief essays and 400 illustrations with detailed captions, making it an ideal reference for anyone interested in cultural history, the history of jewelry, or the art and craft of jewelry making.

A century of Swiss Winter Sports Posters
Jean-Charles Giroud
Patrick Cramer, 2006
192 Pages - English - 23.5 cm x 32.5 cm - 1.4 Kg
Jean-Charles Giroud
Patrick Cramer, 2006
At the end of the 19th century, Switzerland saw the development of two phenomena that nothing seemed to bring together, winter sports and artistic posters. The former find in the geography and climate of the country an incomparably favorable environment, the latter take advantage of the dynamism of talented artists to flourish and develop in an extraordinary movement of creativity. Faced with the necessities of commerce and advertising, the two meet and lead to the production, over more than a century, of thousands of posters, many of which, by their quality, pay tribute not only to winter sports but also to the beauty of the mountain and the genius of those who made them. The best Swiss designers are present and the Swiss resorts are celebrated. This exceptional work, widely illustrated, significantly enriches knowledge of the field and offers the amateur the opportunity to marvel at the contact with quality works of art which, despite sometimes a century of age, remain as fresh as on the first day. Jean-Charles Giroud, curator for many years of the collection of posters of the Library of Geneva, has already written many books and studies on the Swiss poster. He is now director of this institution.
