The Jewelry Wardrobe
9780847877027
€42,99
Choosing jewelry is an art—and here, a leading expert sharpens the eye, illuminates the classics, and reveals the pieces that both surprise and endure.
This treasure-box of a book explores the idea of a jewelry wardrobe: a personal, evolving collection shaped not by rules or trends, but by taste, meaning, and daily life. A jewelry wardrobe is not about owning everything; it is about recognizing which pieces stand the test of time, and which feel unmistakably one’s own.
Celebrating jewels that have shaped style across generations—the shimmer of a Bulgari coin necklace, the assured charm of Van Cleef & Arpels’ Alhambra, the saturated glow of Jean Schlumberger’s paillonné enamel, or the quiet authority of a Cartier Tank watch—the book brings together touchstones of adornment that endure, delight, and express individuality.
Illustrated with more than 350 photographs of works by 80 jewelers, the book spans the Victorian era to the present day. Legendary houses such as Cartier and Tiffany appear alongside influential twentieth-century designers including Verdura, Harry Winston, Aldo Cipullo, and Elsa Peretti, as well as exceptional contemporary makers such as Hemmerle, Taffin, and Nicholas Varney.
Organized by accoutrement—from earrings and necklaces to bracelets and watches—and complemented by a curated list of icons and a concise glossary, this elegant and endlessly engaging book is a modern classic for anyone who loves jewelry—and wants to understand it a little more deeply. Lees meer

The Language of Tattoos
9780711267862
€26,99
This beautifully illustrated guide delves deep into the meaning and significance of different tattoo symbols, exploring the rich cultural history around the world of this widespread form of body art.
Tattoos are everywhere: one in three of us has at least one. Body art is one of the most popular ways of expressing our identity and beliefs.
But whether we’re aware of it or not when we choose a design to be permanently inked on our skin, a complex language of meanings lies behind the visuals we choose. A lotus flower, koi carp swimming upstream or a dragon rising towards the sun: in the language of tattoos these are all symbols of strength and overcoming adversity.
This book uncovers the meanings behind tattoo symbols, delving into the history of the most popular motifs that recur in many different tattoo styles, including tribal, traditional, Japanese, and realistic. Over 130 symbols are grouped according to their meanings, whether it’s good luck, freedom, wisdom, power, spirituality, or love.
Each symbol is illustrated with stunning, specially drawn visuals by acclaimed artist and tattooist Oliver Munden, and accompanied by an explanation by tattoo expert Nick Schonberger which delves into its history, significance, and application in tattooing.
Both a visual delight and a fascinating insight into the rich cultural heritage of tattooing, this is the perfect book for anyone wanting to learn more about tattoo symbolism, in need of inspiration for their next tattoo, or who just loves tattoo art.

The Pocket Cubism
9781802473278
€13,99
In the early 1900s, two young artists developed a new style of painting which would revolutionize the artistic world. Inspired by traditional African art, Pablo Picasso and Georges Braque began the practice of painting from multiple perspectives simultaneously, deconstructing their subjects into geometric shapes to emphasize their two-dimensionality. While early critics and traditionalists were shocked by the unfamiliarity of this bold new style, the avant-garde embraced the breakthrough. The works of artists such as Juan Gris, Robert Delaunay, Albert Gleizes and Jean Metzinger quickly took on the attributes of the movement. Profiling ten of the movement's most prominent artists, and detailing key works, theory, history and the legacy of Cubism, this pocket-sized guide will teach you everything you need to know about this seminal style. Featured ArtistsPaul Klee / Albert Gleizes / Fernand Léger / Pablo Picasso / Georges Braque / Jean Metzinger / Robert Delaunay / André Lhote / Marc Chagall / Juan Gris Lees meer
