Limited Edition is the new buzzword in furniture design. The demand for unique pieces is steadily increasing. With prototypes, one-offs and limited product lines, designers are celebrating a cult of individuality for all price classes. Furniture prototypes have always been an element of the industrial design process, but now they are being brought from the workshops and presented to the public as embodiments of one of the most exciting creative fields of our age. In the global village with its standardized commodities, exclusive one-offs with an artisanal flavor are turning into coveted objects. Limited furniture series satisfy the |

collector's thirst for objects that dissolve the boundary between art and design.Limited Edition pursues this new phenomenon and uncovers its background in meticulous investigative essays based on the author's ongoing interchange with key designers, gallery owners, auctioneers and manufacturers. With a rich selection of magnificent images and an attractive layout, it presents the best and most breathtaking pieces by the leading designers. |
Limited Edition ist das neue Schlagwort im Möbeldesign. Die Nachfrage nach Einzelstücken steigt mehr und mehr. Designer zelebrieren mit Prototypen, Unikaten und limitierten Produktserien einen Individualitätskult für alle Preisklassen: Möbel-Prototypen, schon immer Bestandteil des industriellen Enwurfsprozesses, werden jetzt aus der Werkstatt geholt und als Verkörperung eines allerneuesten Trends der Öffentlichkeit vorgeführt. Unikate, exklusiv und mit handwerklicher Note, lassen sich im Global Village mit standardisierten Waren zu begehrten Objekten deklarieren. Limitierte Möbelserien befriedigen den Sammlerhunger nach Objekten, die als Möbelskulpturen die Grenze zwischen Design und Kunst auflösen und so auch eine neue Elite von Design-Galeristen hervorgebracht haben.Limited Edition spürt diesem neuen Trend im Möbeldesign nach und deckt dessen Hintergründe auf: in sorgfältigen Recherchen, entstanden auf der Grundlage eines kontinuierlichen Austauschs der Autorin mit Designern, Galeristen und Herstellern. Anhand großartiger Abbildungen und in einem reizvollen Layout präsentiert es die besten und atemberaubendsten Stücke der führenden Designer. |

"The Power of Ideals examines the lives and work of six 20th century moral leaders who pursued moral causes ranging from world peace to social justice and human rights and uses these six cases to show how people can make choices guided by their moral ideals rather than by base emotion or social pressures"-- |
"Cynicism often seems a smarter choice than idealism. There are reasons for this. Politicians have disappointed us time and again; trusted institutions have proven to be self-serving and corrupt; hopes for lasting world peace repeatedly have been dashed; and social inequities persist and increase, unabated by even the grandest of charitable efforts. It is now considered foolish to think that people can be counted on to rise above their narrow self-interests to serve the broader good, or to tell the truth if it does not reflect well on the self. Supporting this bleak view of the human condition is a moral |

psychology that has taken increasingly cynical turns in recent years. Famous studies have shown that we have an almost unlimited potential for cruelty when placed in the wrong situations. The Power of Ideals presents a different vision, supported by a different kind of evidence. It examines the lives and work of six 20th century moral leaders who pursued moral causes ranging from world peace to social justice and human rights. Using these six cases to illustrate how people can make choices guided by their moral convictions, rather than by base emotion or social pressures, authors William Damon and Anne Colby explore the workings of three virtues: inner truthfulness, humility, and faith. Through their portrayal of the noble lives of moral leaders, the authors argue that all of us ... with ordinary lives ... can exercise control over important life decisions and pursue ideals that we believe in"-- |
