A comprehensive monograph exploring Alexander Girard's vivid and dynamic design career Alexander Girard was a leading figure in mid-century American design, bringing sensational color and pattern to the modernist aesthetic. Organized by discipline, this stunning monograph covers Girard's prolific and groundbreaking output across textiles, furniture, interior design, graphic design, illustration, and architecture. Favoring geometric patterns in as many palettes as possible, Girard is best known for his textiles series for design company Herman Miller and for his commercial interior projects, including La Fonda del Sol restaurant in New York and the Braniff International Airways rebrand. Featuring more than 800 images, some of which have never before been published, this fascinating book covers Girard's wide-ranging impact on design, from textiles and wallpapers to painstakingly detailed interiors and curatorial projects.  Extensively researched and thoughtfully assembled by designer Todd Oldham, in partnership with Girard Studio, the book features double gatefolds that immerse the reader in Girard's object design sketches, the vibrant environmental panels created for Herman Miller's Action Office project, his designs for Braniff International Airways, and his tireless explorations in textile design.

Due to the popularity of the large-format and popular CHARLEY HARPER-AN ILLUSTRATED LIFE, AMMO Books has just released the same book in a smaller size at a more affordable price.Charley Harper is an American original who created his art from his home studio in Cincinnati, Ohio, until his death on June 10, 2007, at the age of 84. He is beloved for his delightful, graphic, and often humorous illustrations of nature, animals, insects, and people alike. Charley liked to say that when he paints a bird, he doesn't count all the feathers in the wings-he just counts the wings. Minimal realism, he called it, and his unique and precise style continues to resonate and inspire his admirers.CHARLEY HARPER-AN ILLUSTRATED LIFE showcases his illustrations that appeared from 1950-1975 in the Ford Times magazines, as well as in books such as the beloved, "The Giant Golden Book of Biology" in 1961, "Betty Crocker's Dinner for Two" in 1961, and "The Animal Kingdom" in 1968, among many others. His well-loved book, "Birds and Words," first published in 1974, is considered a classic. Remarkably, however, Charley's work has never before been published in one complete retrospective. Accordingly, this mini volume is the definitive Charley Harper book to have on your bookshelf!
