Description: The Art of Impossible: Behind the Bang & Olufsen Design Story, HC About this item: The Art of Impossible: Behind the Bang & Olufsen Design Story by Bang & Olufsen (Author), Alastair Philip Wiper (Photographer). This book takes you behind the company logo and delves into the stories of each breakthrough, iconic Bang & Olufsen design―from their early audio equipment in the 1920s to the pioneering BeoLab 90 speaker system. Overviews of both the materials and the manufacturing processes used for each Bang & Olufsen model are complemented by profiles on the designers behind each innovative creation. Throughout, the company’s underlying philosophy remains unwavering: design must always serve a purpose. Featuring an extensive archive of sketches and prototypes, 300 specially commissioned photographs of individual products in various interior settings, as well as an exclusive insight into the models that never found their way onto the market, this is the definitive publication on a company whose design inventions are in a league of their own. 300+ illustrations Condition: Acceptable. This book was part of a public exhibit hand was handled extensively so the boards are very work and scraped. Inside, the pages have soft handling creases and parts of the biding are loose. That said, the pages are intact, and the colors of the plates are very good. This is the least expensive copy you can find of this book. The pictures show the actual book you receive.
