Petit Glam Number 7: Modern Crafts

2008-02-27-girardbook.jpg
A treasure! We recently picked up this amazing little gem of a book, packed with inspiration. It is Issue Number 7 of a Japanese publication called Petit Glam...

 
 

...and is entitled Modern Crafts. This issue comes packed in a box that is covered in a hand-screened Alexander Girard fabric (Feathers, 1957) produced by Maharam.

Divided into three main sections over its160 pages it features long articles on the following:


  • Alexander Girard: The Texture of Modernism and Joys of Folk Art

  • Stig Lindberg and Scandinavian Tableware

  • Takeo Takei - Kanpon Sakuhin

2008-02-27-mcsmall.jpgA crash course in the work of these three creators, told through photos and short text (in both Japanese and English), it includes essays, interviews and, one of our favorite parts: a glimpse of Girard's living room in Santa Fe.

Available online for $42. at Maximo.
