Of course, Phaidon would publish a monograph about Braun.

They're basically the Criterion Collection of photo books. Braun's design aesthetic intrigued me before I knew it to be designed. And while I don't have much, I have a simple wristwatch and that watch bears just about the same clock face as graces the cover of the soon to be released book.

Show Flat at Interbau 1957 in Berlin, Germany, by Herbert Hirche

[nuveau-deco]

Cupboard Owned (and Decorated) by German Art Nouveau and Symbolist Painter, Carl Strathmann (1866–1939). Dimensions: 179 cm x 98 cm x 51 cm. From the Munich City Museum, Applied Arts Collection, inventory number: M-71/4.

"… The simple spruce cabinet with fluted side frames and a straight cornice was originally decorated with no other decorative motifs. The artist attached a slatted frame with geometrically arranged, gilded decorative nails to the front of the cabinet and provided the right side with a vertical structure. He decorated the cornice, the upper corners and the right side with embossed brass sheets, with the brass heads and nails in a repeat pattern. The frame and the lower panels are painted with classical palmettes, garlands and wreaths. The main field shows a tree with golden fruits. The unfinished left side reveals that the cabinet was intended for a corner of the room."
