Naïve: Modernism and Folklore in Contemporary Graphic Design” - out on one of my favourite publishers - Die Gestalten.

scrapbook_45

Naïve documents the extraordinary renaissance of Classic Modernism, from the 1940s to 1960s, in contemporary graphic design. This compilation introduces a new wave of young designers who are rediscovering the stylistic elements reminiscent of classic graphic design such as silkscreen printing, classical typography, hand lettering, woodcutting and folk art and integrating them into their work. Inspired by 20th Century American legends such as Saul Bass, Charley Harper and Alexander Girard, the burgeoning designers and their work showcased this in this book are inspiring, ranging from illustrations, poster art, editorials, book covers and record sleeves to stationary and textiles.

Uncategorized No Comments »

Written by one of the world’s leading trend spotters and proprietor of the widely-read www.coolhunter.net, Bill Tikos, The World’s Coolest Hotel Rooms opens the doors to more than fifty of the hippest, sexiest, newest, and most unusual rooms across the seven continents. Featuring the work of today’s top architects and interior designers, this book offers diverse accommodations with one thing in common: impeccable taste with edge.

So wherever wanderlust may take you—from an idyllic getaway in Scotland’s remote Jura Island to the bright lights and nonstop action of Berlin—there is an amazing place to stay, and Tikos has roamed the globe to find it and the best room in the house.

From a personal concierge in Buenos Aires who can schedule an impromptu tango lesson to a spectacular view of Rajasthan’s age old Aravali hills from a deluxe suite, every accommodation provides a unique experience. Boring is not an option. There are rooms that fulfill rock star fantasies—complete with soundstage—and others that elevate the meaning of luxury, with sumptuously dressed daybeds in lush, secluded gardens with private pools. Each entry provides the inspiration behind the hotel’s architecture, details the room’s special amenities, design features, and rate. Local points of interest are described as well.

With every entry personally selected by a tastemaker whose discerning eye for the most happening movements, styles, and trends in travel, fashion, music, urban living, and design has earned him a global following, The World’s Coolest Hotel Rooms is indispensable for creating a special travel experience.
