Bijutsu-Kai (Bijutsukai). [Colour Designs for Japanese Textiles Costumes]. Vol. 7 [presumably five issues]. [Japanese text only]. - [MAGNIFICENT ORIGINAL JAPANESE WOODBLOCK DESIGN PRINTS ]
Unso-do (Unsodo), (1902-1906). 8vo. Original wrappers wirh original silk ties through the spine and printing on recto of one wrapper. The other wrapper with light pencil annotation in Danish (referring to a Danish book on interior design) and a light pencil drawing of a figure. 95 pp. (Japanese double-pages), three of which are folded, all 95 being full-page (the folded being double-) coloured woodblock prints.
A magnificent set of these scarce original issues of the stunning journal for Japanese interior- and textile-design, in splendid, vivid, and intense colours, often heightened in gold and silver. “Shin-Bijutsukai (New Oceans of Art) magazine appeared during a watershed in Japanese publishing history: when pattern and design books became standalone works of art. The first Japanese pattern books — colorless woodblock manuals, known as hinagata-bon (???) — were created in the 1660s, when political stability and a bullish economy fostered an expansion in fashion and a desire for voguish textiles. While growing out of this genre, the colorful and abstract designs in Shin-Bijutsukai magazine (1902–1906) reflect a convergence of historical and technological shifts in turn-of-the-century Japanese society. Notably, artists traveling abroad on government grants encountered Art Nouveau and Japonisme — the Western European fondness for a mediated, Japanese aesthetic — which they, in turn, folded back into domestic patterns: forging originality through the prism of cross-cultural pollination. Emboldened by innovations in book production, such as newfound color-printing capabilities, and seeking to keep pace with developments in manufacturing, the Unsodo and Unkindo publishing houses began to collaborate with artists to print a type of book known as zuan-cho (???), featuring designs for textiles, lacquerware, screens, ceramics, and other crafts. As the British Library notes, “some of these were meant as source books for artisans”, but others “were conceived as beautiful objects to be enjoyed for their own sake”. Published by Unsodo, Shin-Bijutsukai was edited by Furuya Korin (1875–1910) and overseen by Kamisaka Sekka (1866–1942), the artist of A World of Things (Momoyogusa), who has been hailed as “the greatest twentieth-century Japanese designer”. [...] Like its editor, Shin-Bijutsukai (1902–1906) plots a similar course between timeless themes and novel influences — with title pages announcing, in English, a “New Monthly Magazine of Various Designs by the Famous Artists of To-Day”. With contributions from a variety of artists, the most striking designs in the magazine are captivatingly abstract and layered, dislocating the imagination from place or period: pastel blobs beneath a translucent surface crackled with leaf shapes oozing, cellular frames encasing beautiful plant matter a forest whose canopy dissolves into a wash of spilled wine.” (Hunter Dukes).

, Vitra Design Museum, 2018 Hardcover 1018 pages, 310 x 235 mm, Illustrated. ISBN 9783931936990.
the Vitra Design Museum publishes the »Atlas of Furniture Design«, a new comprehensive overview on the history of modern furniture design. With more than 1,000 pages, the »Atlas« is the most extensive book ever to be published on the topic. It documents 1,740 objects by over 540 designers, and features more than 2,800 illustrations, from object photographs to design sketches and interiors as well as patents, brochures, art, architecture, and portraits of the designers. The Vitra Design Museum collection, which counts among the world?s largest of its kind with upwards of 20,000 objects, including over 7,000 pieces of furniture, serves as the basis for »Atlas of Furniture Design«. The publication includes works by the most significant designers of the past 230 years and documents all important stages of design history. This includes 19th century furniture made out of bentwood and metal, Art Nouveau and Secession style designs, iconic designs by protagonists of modernism such as Le Corbusier, Gerrit Rietveld, Charlotte Perriand, Marcel Breuer, and Eileen Gray, but also post-war, post-modern, and contemporary furniture by designers such as Charles and Ray Eames, Eero Saarinen, Gae Aulenti, Finn Juhl, Ettore Sottsass, Philippe Starck, Hella Jongerius, Jasper Morrison, and Konstantin Grcic. The »Atlas of Furniture Design« is the product of over 20 years of research at the Vitra Design Museum and was compiled by a team of more than 70 authors. It contains comprehensive essays on the socio-cultural and design-historical contexts of furniture design, over 550 detailed texts on pioneering objects, and numerous information graphics that provide new visual insights into the history of furniture design. Furthermore, the book contains a complete appendix that includes designer biographies, bibliographies, a glossary of producers and materials, as well as a keyword index. These features make this publication an encyclopedic reference guide and indispensable resource for collectors, scholars, and experts, and without a doubt a book to be treasured by design lovers all over the world. »The Atlas of Furniture Design is a treasure trove that offers not only definitive information about beloved staples of design history, but also new, fresh and often unexpected perspectives, all presented in a generous format that captures the breadth and depth of this important subject.« Paola Antonelli, Senior Curator of Architecture and Design, The Museum of Modern Art Mateo Kries, director of the Vitra Design Museum and co-editor of the publication, explains: »The Atlas paints a portrait of our entire collection while simultaneously providing an unprecedented overview of the history of modern furniture. The publication is set up to provide a new comprehensive outline for scholars of furniture design by considering the latest academic research, questioning extant knowledge, and giving top experts a platform to share their ideas. The book touches on a range of subjects spanning the beginnings of industrialization to digitalization, which is becoming increasingly influential in contemporary furniture design. Whether as a selection of iconic designs or as a history of styles, a chronicle of evolution or of revolution, a history of objects or of images, or a narrative of domestic habits or of individual designers, this book can be read in a vast range of ways. But the »Atlas of Furniture Design« can also be enjoyed by readers who prefer to dispense with complex theories and just want to concentrate on each single object.«

No. 10A Remote Switching System: System Overview (+) Control-Complex Architecture and Circuit Design (+) Peripheral Systems Architecture and Circuit Design (+) Host Software (+) Physical Design (+) Remote Terminal Firmware (+) System Maintenance (+) T... - [FIRST DESCRIPTION OF THE NO. 10A RSS (REMOTE SWITCHING SYSTEM).]
New York, American Telephone and Telegraph Company, 1982 8vo. Original full green cloth. Volume 61, 1982 of ""The Bell System Technical Journal"". Library stamp to pasted down front free end-paper. Minor bumping to extremities. Beside a very few pencil marks a nice and clean copy. Pp. 391- 657. [Entire issue: Pp. XXXX, (1), 659].
First edition of Bell System's description of the highly influential and innovative first remote switching system. (No. 10A RSS).With the rapid rise in households with a telephone in the 50ies and 60ies, a new and more effective switching system was needed. The Bell System developed the No. 1 ESS (Electronic Switching System) to meet with these demands. The ESS made servicing easier but a more automatic and centralized structure was needed in order to meet the demands of smaller businesses. ""With the evolution in electronic technology currently in progress, it was evident that intelligent remotely controlled devices could be brought into central office switching environment. A system which could effectively and economically remote large portions of its network over large distances could rapidly be deployed over major segments of the Bell System network. The era of electronic switching began with the introduction of the No. 1 ESS into commercial service in 1965. [...] In spite of this activity, there remains a large segment of Bell System central offices that until the introduction of the 10A RSS could not justify the introduction of electronic switching technology."" (From the introducing article).Even though the No. 10A RSS essentially was built upon the No. 1 ESS it was still a milestone in the history of telephony.
Optimum allocation in linear regression theory. - [BEGINNING ""METHODS OF COMPUTING OPTIMUM REGRESSION DESIGN""]
U.S.A., The Annals of Mathematical Statistics, 1952. 8vo. No wrappers (as issued). Offprint from ""The Annals of Mathematical Statistics"", Vol. 23, No. 2, June 1952. Light miscolouring to extremities, otherwise a fine and clean copy. Pp. 255-262.
Scarce offprint of Elfving's seminal paper which marks the beginning of optimality theory of regression theory. The paper also introduced concepts from convex geometry, including ""Elfving sets.""Pioneering work was done by Elfving in several papers on the methods of computing optimum regression design. The ""Optimum allocation in linear regression theory"" is without doubt Elfving's single most influential paper, inaugurating that line of research."" (Johnson, Leading Personalities in Statistical Sciences: From the Seventeenth Century)While accompanying a surveying expedition to western Greenland, extended and intense rains left Elving with three days in his tent, during which time he consider the best locations of observations to estimate parameters on linear models. Elfving's ideas appeared in his paper on the optimal design of experiments for estimating linear models. This paper also introduced concepts from convex geometry, including ""Elfving sets"" and Elfving's theorem
