Scandinavia Dreaming presents dazzling interiors, architecture, and products that show the richness, variety, and intensity of contemporary Nordic spaces.

The projects within Scandinavia Dreaming translate to any four walls and readily invite transformation from page to reality.

In his more than 40 years at Braun, Rams established himself as one of the most influential designers of the twentieth century.

Less and More offers boundless inspiration for anyone interested in the aesthetic and functional aspects of applied design.

Endlich wieder erhältlich: das Referenzwerk zu Dieter Rams, der wie kein Zweiter das deutsche Produktdesign der Moderne prägte und zu globaler Wirkung brachte.

Begegnungen mit Produkten und Gedanken von Dieter Rams werden zu Schlüsselerlebnissen für alle, die sich an ästhetischen wie funktionalen Aspekten gut gestalteter Gebrauchsgegenstände erfreuen.

Gutes Design ist unaufdringlich, ehrlich, langlebig, konsequent bis ins letzte Detail und umweltfreundlich. Gutes Design ist so wenig Design wie möglich. Less and More erfasst dieses Designverständnis: mit Hunderten von Produktabbildungen, Skizzen, Vorstufen und Modellen der weltberühmten Braun-Stereoanlagen und -Rasierapparate, der Möbelsysteme für Vitsœ.

Few product designs have the staying power of creations by Dieter Rams. Almost everything produced by one of the most influential designers of the twentieth century is today considered a classic. This new and revised edition of Less but Better shows once again why Dieter Rams’s approach to design will be relevant for the foreseeable future Ideas of what can and must be achieved by good design are in a constant state of flux as a result of cultural and technological developments.

• Good design is innovative. 
• Good design makes a product useful. 
• Good design is aesthetic. 
• Good design helps a product to be understood. 
• Good design is unobtrusive. 
• Good design is honest. 
• Good design is durable. 
• Good design is consistent to the last detail. 
• Good design is environmentally friendly. 
• Good design is as little design as possible.

This Monocle book tells us how to turn a house into a home. Both a practical guide and a great source of inspiration, The Monocle Guide to Cosy Homes presents the interiors, furniture, and locations you need to know about along with portraits of the people who can make it happen. 

The Monocle Guide to Cosy Homes celebrates the durable and the meaningful through a collection of homes that tell a story. Most architecture and interior books show houses polished to perfection, manicured to the extent that it is hard to imagine anybody actually lives there: they seem to miss the point that homes are meant to be inhabited. They should be able to take the scuffs and knocks and to be part of a community, whether in a Chicago skyscraper or on Australia's sunshine coast. So where are the best places to make a home? What are the villages, coastlines, mountains, towns, and cities that would make you want to settle down? The Monocle Guide to Cosy Homes answers those questions with a global photographic survey of a wide variety of homes. Whether the focus is on a remote residence in the Swedish archipelago or a lush abode in Rio de Janeiro, or on the difference between residing in Tokyo and Toronto, this book is the perfect balance between the inspirational and the practical. 

The book is a survey of everything you need to know to build the residence of your dreams, providing insight into the best neighborhoods, architects, and makers all over the world. From design-store owners to green-roof gardeners, The Monocle Guide to Cosy Homes introduces you to interesting people with ideas that are built to last. Monocle's signature illustrations punctuate the book's rich and detailed content. Through striking photography, The Monocle Guide to Cosy Homes also gives you a glimpse into the lives that unfold in these apartments, villas, and cottages, showing that these homes are alive and that this is precisely what makes them special. This is a book that should be referred to again and again--it is a book about the quality of life.

One fashion sin is another trend part. Opinions about tapered pants, shoulder pads and leopard prints may differ, but the fact is that (almost) every trend in fashion comes back at some point. So it's hardly surprising that THE pants of the 1980s - nowadays called mom jeans - are celebrating a grandiose comeback and that other parts that were thought to have long since been buried in the fashion graveyard are also experiencing amazing revivals. But how does this resurgence of past trends come about in the first place and how can you predict when a piece will be hip again?

Déjà Vu Style is dedicated to these special pieces, illuminating their history, showing celebrities who shaped the style and explaining their comeback. From the 1960s miniskirt, to the 70s crochet dress, to the 90s platform soles, to the 2000s Y2K trend, they're all brought together in this informative and entertaining fashion book. Fashion historians and vintage fashion experts provide additional exciting background knowledge. The current topic of green fashion is also taken up here, because nothing counteracts the phenomenon of fast fashion more sustainably than wearing rediscovered old fashion treasures from your mother or grandma.

In the world of coveted fashion brands, it certainly is, and one of the most crucial at that. That's why authors Heide Christiansen and Martin Fraas have dedicated the second installment of their "Fashion, Styles & Stories" series to the theme of black. In "The Black Book: Fashion, Styles & Stories," they showcase how expressive and powerful this color can be in the context of fashion.

Women love handbags because they are a perfect vehicle — not just for keys, credit cards, and lipstick, but also their dreams and desires. Luxury labels made the humble bag into a billion-dollar business in the 20th century, but the bag is more than just a status symbol. Because it is constantly being reinvented, it wields a greater influence on everyday fashion than any hemline or silhouette.

For the Love of Bags is a homage to the power of the handbag: from icons like the Kelly Bag, the first "must-have" item ever, to popular Paris fashion house labels and the latest Instagram stars, this book details the history of the "it" bag and decodes the messages handbags communicate. Text in English, German and French.

"The 1990s Fashion Book" is a tribute to the unique fashion of that time. Flashy, colourful, casual and sexy, these were the attributes that applied back then. Top models, hip-hoppers or pop groups like Take That and the Spice Girls exemplified a fashion style that triggered a boom all over the world. 

The 90s: the birth of the modern world
It is fair to say that, in retrospect, hardly any other decade has had such a formative effect on modern times as the 1990s. It is considered a decade of revolution, in which almost everything that had existed before changed at breakneck speed. This is when ground-breaking technologies such as the internet or nationwide mobile telephony came into being, without which our lives today would be unimaginable.

A look back at vintage trends and icons
Modern pop culture and current fashion design originate to a large extent from the cradle of the 90s. Sub-trends of the time such as grunge, hip-hop, minimalism, casual chic and deconstructivism are, in retrospect, what continues to have an impact today.

The Coffee Table Book "The 1990s Fashion Book" picks up all these vintage trends and brings them together in one complete work. A wonderful mix of it-pieces, key looks, hairstyles and make-up in the typical 90s look.

Agata and Pierre Toromanoff and their 90s masterpiece
The two authors of this sparkling masterpiece are art historian Agata Toromanof and her husband Pierre Toromanoff. With around 150 exciting photographs, in this illustrated book they awaken nostalgia in people of Generation-X and provide a source of inspiration for everyone else.

Nostalgia and inspiration
Every fashion enthusiast will enjoy the photography book "The 1990s Fashion Book" and, especially against the background of the current comeback of the 90s and the omnipresent presence of this era, will experience a guaranteed "aha" moment when looking at the pictures.
