Composites. We hardly ever think about them, but we use them everyday. We play, work, fly, ride, eat, wear and build with them. We find them literally everywhere, in skis, surfboards, motor helmets, bicycles, canoes, and silverware. Formula 1 couldn't do without them. In fact, the car and motor industry, the space industry, the aeronautics industry, the building industry, the army, and the medical world can't make much without their material magic. Despite their indispensability, the creation and development of composites is hardly known. From Bakelite to Composite aims to correct this oversight by presenting the history of composites and their various types, processing techiniques and appli...

Maarten Van Severen certainly is the most famous Belgian furniture designer and interior decorator today. His creations, pure lines that result in chairs, sofas, cabinets and tables (such as .03, .04, Blue Bench, MVS Chaise, Schraag...) made in his home atelier or produced by important manufacturers such as Vitra, Edra, Bulo, are very successful in Japan, the USA and many other countries. In addition, Van Severen plays an important role as an interior designer in, amongst others, the Van Abbemuseum (Eindhoven, the Netherlands) and the Villa d'Ava (Paris, France). In the near future a cutlery line designed by his hand will be produced by Alessi. This book is the most complete publication about Maarten Van Severen ever published. It presents about fifteen contributions of colleagues, experts, manufacturers and it reveals dozens of new images of his designs and realisations from the start until now. Text in English and Dutch. 170 colour illustrations
The Belgian architecture firm Conix was founded in 1979 and has, in nearly three decades led by Christine Conix, architect Sylvie Bruyninckx and interior designer An Steylaerts, grown to a staff of 55. No other firm is as widely represented along the quays of Antwerp, but that accomplishment doesn't convey the exceptional diversity of their projects, both residential and business. In recent years, Conix has received a great deal of international attention for one project in particular: the just-completed renovation of the midcentury design landmark, the Atomium, in Brussels, a replica of an atom that stands more than 300 feet high, with a different space in each 60-foot sphere, from a children's museum to a restaurant. "Conix Architecten" features an exceptionally sleek interior design and the book's pages are even edged in silver. With special emphasis on the Atomium, it features a selection of outstanding recent projects in 200 illustrations.
