The Art Of Luxury Design

I am an artist and graphic designer. I appreciate clever product designs and aesthetics.

While attending high school and college I studied a lot of art/design history.

My favorite periods, especially when it comes to product designs, are the Art Nouveau, Art Deco periods and when Swedish/Scandinavian design dominated product and structure design.

For the first time product and buildings were not only utilitarian they were thoughtfully designed and shaped to please the artistic/aesthetic sensibilities of consumers.

During the 1960s throughout most of the 1980s function tended to outshine aesthetics. However, as advances in technology, materials and manufacturing blossomed form soon dominated function especially as it pertained to luxury items.

In author Steve Huyton’s new oversize hardbound book: The Art Of Luxury Design, published by Schiffer Publishing, readers are invited to a celebration of the world’s most exquisite goods.

Be prepared to be dazzled and amazed with the designs of architecture, transportation, time pieces, furniture and much more all presented in full-color and stunning photos that pick up every detail of the designs and structures.

Visually I feel as if I walked into a designer’s candy shop of colors, shapes and seamless design perfection.

Photos explode off the pages made so by the choice of interior paper stock and the high-resolution photos.

Jeremiah 29:11 - For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the LORD, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end.
