The demand for unique pieces is steadily increasing. With prototypes, one-of-a-kind items, and limited product lines, designers are celebrating a cult of individuality for all price classes. Furniture prototypes have always been an element of the industrial design process, but now they are being hauled from the workshops and presented to the public as embodiments of the very latest trend. In the global village with its standardized commodities, exclusive one-offs with an artisanal flavor are turning into coveted objects. Limited furniture series satisfy the collector’s thirst for objects that dissolve the boundary between art and design as objects that are both furniture and sculptures and have thus given rise to a new elite among design gallery owners. Limited Edition pursues this new trend in furniture design and uncovers its background in meticulous investigative essays based on the author’s ongoing interchange with designers, gallery owners, and manufacturers. With magnificent illustrations and an attractive layout, it presents the best and most breathtaking pieces by the leading designers.

Fardis, University of Patras, GreeceISBN-13:978-1-4020-9841-3PAGES/ILLUS:approx. 600 p., 130 illus. With 8 pages full color section, HardcoverPRICE:approx. $199.00AVAILABLE (US):June 2009 The book focuses on seismic design, assessment and retrofitting of concrete buildings, with emphasis on the application of EN-Eurocode 8. After the publication of EN-Eurocode 8 in 2004-05, this 1st in history European Standard for seismic design is currently introduced by the 30 countries of European Standardisation, as part of the suite of Structural Eurocodes, for application in parallel with existing national standards until March 2020 and exclusively after that. In the short term Eurocode 8 is also expected to influence seismic design, assessment and retrofitting standards in countries outside Europe, or to be applied to important facilities. Owing to the increasing awareness of the threat posed by existing substandard and deficient buildings, and as there was no national or international standard for their assessment and retrofitting before the EN-Eurocode 8, its impact in that field is expected to be major.
