| Description: |
Divided into four distinct periods - the first collections, the classic collections, the modern, and the contemporary - the book depicts the creativity of Cartier over its 150-year history with various illustrations of objects of elegance. |
| Synopsis: |
The unlimited creativity of Carrier is reflected in these stunning objects of elegance, expanding beyond the bounds of watches and jewellery. From cameo cuff links to a blue leather beauty case (complete with ivory travel clock, gold cigarette case, and enamel aton-dzer), to ivory swizzle sticks and a black crystal panther, the objects depicted here reflect a rich variety of artistic inspiration. Divided into four distinct periods; the first collections, the classic collections, the modern, and the contemporary, the book introduces each chapter with the most important historical and cultural events of the period. By placing these objects in the spirit of the time, the authors bring into focus the relationship between these artistic objects of everyday use and the culture that produced them. Portraits of aristocratic patrons, detailed drawings and studies and historical photographs fully document 150 years of Cartier's achievements. Franco Cologni has been the vice-chairman of Carrier International since 1986. He is the author of two books, LIgo Betti and Jacques Copeau.Currently art director of Giorgio Mondadori publishing house, Ettore Mocchetti is a graphic and interior designer and author of several books. |
