Informationen zum Autor Olivier Dupon is a 21st-century tastemaker and the author of six acclaimed books, all published by Thames & Hudson. Klappentext In this beautiful new book, Olivier Dupon introduces the finest modern jewelers practising today. Featuring 108 both up-and-coming and established designers, the book is divided into nine categories inspired not by traditional jewelry typology, but by style and look. Rough stones appear with exquisitely faceted gems; organic forms vie with geometric structures; feathers and leather take their place next to platinum and diamonds. The book showcases fine jewelry, fashion jewelry, luxe jewelry, conceptual jewelry, and much much more. Over 800 mainly colour photographs display the jewelry alongside portraits of the designers at work, shots of sketches and works in progress, studios and boutiques. Complete with short, informative profiles and useful contact details for the designers, as well as a listing of recommended shops, this publication offers a wealth of inspiring material and is a must for any aficionado of jewelry, design or craft. While Dupon's delightful work may seem like a coffee-table book, it is much more. This guide . . . should be found in a variety of libraries with collections focusing on fashion, decorative arts, and photography. Highly recommended.
