The enchanting beauty of French antique textiles inspired by Indian chintz In the late 17th century, Europeans enjoyed a boom of imported Indian textiles. Chintz was first used for interior fabrics such as curtains and bed covers, and later people gradually began incorporating Indian chintz into the latest fashions. In some places in France, producers learned the process of making these beautiful printed textiles, eventually adding original patterns and becoming domestic production hubs themselves.

This book reveals the beauty of French antique textiles by showcasing many patterns from three museums: Mulhouse, Toiles de Jouy and Souleiado. Most patterns in this book were produced in the early era of production in France, but some are selected from the latest collections available today. Readers can discover the transition of beautiful printed textiles from East to West as well as from the 17th century to today.

Catch the wave of the latest trend in advertising design!

Portland, Oregon is well known as an artisan capital with a discerning, yet laid-back, do-it-yourself culture. Microbreweries, letterpress printing, handmade goods, Third Wave coffee, etc. all figure prominently in Portland’s proudly eccentric character.

Recently in Japan, the “Third Wave Design” trend has been influenced by Portland’s artisanal culture. Taking its name and design inspiration from the Third Wave Coffee movement, Third Wave Design features “retro” elements such as handwritten fonts, chalkboard typography, stylized illustrations, “blurred” or “stained” effects and so on to evoke an easygoing, handmade feel that is at the same time carefully curated and stylish.

This title showcases advertisements, tools, and shop display designs that follow this trend. Most of items featured are from Japan, but some from overseas are also featured.

A good reference for graphic designers looking for ideas from the most up-to-date designs in Japan.
