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.

A World of Head Ornaments

A passionate interest and a lifetime spent seeking out the world's finest ethnic jewelry has contributed to making the Ghysels collection one of the premier collections of its kind in the world. Jean-Pierre and Colette Ghysels have indulged their passion indiscriminately, according as much attention to ethnographic objects as to extraordinary pieces of ethnic jewelry. They are guided by a single criterion: the quality that gives rise to beauty, a strict standard indeed, but one made possible by their longstanding familiarity with ethnic objects. A vast array of hair combs, pins, jewelry made to be woven into braids, nose rings, lip plugs, forehead ornaments and other related objects made out of the most diverse materials, many never before seen, are presented in beautifully composed photographs. The book is divided into geographical sections and includes 200 annotated photographs, a glossary, an index, maps, and a general bibliography. The author's essay describes the uses and meaning of the objects in different cultures and emphasizes the originality of the pieces.

About Time: Fashion and Duration

About Time: Fashion and Duration traces the evolution of fashion, from 1870 to the present, through a linear timeline of iconic garments, each paired with an alternate design that jumps forward or backward in time. These unexpected pairings, which relate to one another through shape, motif, material, pattern, technique, or decoration, create a disruptive fashion chronology that conflates notions of past, present, and future. Virginia Woolf serves as “ghost narrator,” and excerpts from her novels reflect on the passage of time with each subsequent pairing. A new short story by Michael Cunningham, winner of the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction for The Hours, recounts a day in the life of a woman over a time span of 150 years through her changing fashions. Scholar Theodore Martin analyzes theoretical responses to the nature of time, underscoring that time is not simply a sequence of historical events. Fashion photographer Nicholas Alan Cope captures 120 fashions with sublime black-and-white photography. This stunning book reveals fashion’s paradoxical connection to linear notions of time.
