The New French Look - THAMES & HUDSON
Lauren Li

The 'It Factor' - the French have it in spades. Discover how they apply it to their homes

Trends comes and go, but one style that remains perennially popular is the French look. The French prioritise plaisir (pleasure) in their lifestyles and it's no different for their interiors. The New French look is spirited and fresh, layered but never fussy, effortless yet always chic. It uses elements of colour and pattern confidently to create an elegant atmosphere, but with a sense of exuberance. It references history, without ever looking stale and stuffy. There's a respectful nod to the past but, at the same time, the interiors are edgy.

Interior designer Lauren Li takes practical deep-dive into some of the examples of the New French look to discover what makes them so appealing. From the city to the beach, the country and the mountains, this first book in the Style Study series showcases leading interior spaces, unpacking the guiding principles the reader can learn how to achieve the look for themselves at home.

The Problem with Pierre
C.K. Smouha , Suzanna Hubbard (Illustrator)

A fussy cat ruffles the feathers of two neighbours who couldn’t be more different...

Alan and Betram are next-door neighbours. They are also best friends. They are also very, very different to one another. Bertram is extremely neat, and Alan is wildly messy. When Bertram gets a cat, called Pierre, he is dismayed to find that Pierre prefers it at Alan’s house.

Alan tries to help his friend out – giving him his old sheepskin coat, his chipped bowl and finally, his beat up old sofa. At last, Pierre and Bertram are happy, but Alan is not – he has no company and no sofa. Fortunately, Bertram comes up with a brilliant solution to the problem...

The Problem With Pierre plays with the format of the book, the gutter acting as the dividing wall between the two neighbours’ contrasting living rooms. A twist at the end brings together form and content in a way that is sure to delight readers young and old.

The True History of Chocolate - THAMES & HUDSON
Sophie D. Coe, Michael D Coe

A richly detailed and illustrated investigation into the story of the world’s favourite food

Chocolate – ‘the food of the Gods’ – has had a long and eventful history. Its story is expertly told here by the doyen of Maya studies, Michael Coe, and his late wife, Sophie.

The book begins 3,000 years ago in the Mexican jungles and draws on aspects of archaeology, botany and socio-economics. Used as currency and traded by the Aztecs, chocolate arrived in Europe via the conquistadors, and was soon a favourite drink with aristocrats. By the 19th century and industrialization, chocolate became a food for the masses – until its revival in our own time as a luxury item. Chocolate has also been giving up some of its secrets to modern neuroscientists, who have been investigating how flavour perception is mediated by the human brain. And, finally, the book closes with two contemporary accounts of how chocolate manufacturers have (or have not) been dealing with the ethical side of the industry.

About the Author
Sophie D. Coe, an anthropologist and food historian, was the author of America’s First Cuisines.

Professor Michael D. Coe is Professor Emeritus of Anthropology and Curator Emeritus in the Peabody Museum of Natural History at Yale University. His books include The Maya, Reading the Maya Glyphs and Mexico and The True History of Chocolate, all published by Thames & Hudson.

The Wine Lover's Bucket List
The Wine Lover's Bucket List: 1,000 Amazing Adventures in Pursuit of Wine

Author Simon J. Woolf

An inspirational guide designed with the globe-trotting wine lover in mind--vineyards to visit, seasons to go, vintages and organics to drink, and how to get the most out of each wine region.
The adventures featured in this atmospherically illustrated book will fuel the wine lover's imagination with an almost endless array of vineyard visits, must-see sights, and must-do events--harvest festivals, vineyard picnics, wine-region weekends, tasting tours, wine-
focused restaurants.

Designed to highlight the world's most rewarding wine destinations, this guide spans the spectrum from traditional (a wine luncheon in Bordeaux or touring Portugal's port lodges) to fun and quirky. Some ideas are active--a cycling tour of the Champagne region or grape stomping in the Italian countryside--while others are more urban, such as a tour of Vienna's summer wine gardens or Rome's iconic enotecas. Sidebar panels throughout detail what makes each region special and include lists of the top five local wines to seek out.

There is something here for all palates and all levels of expertise--from regular contributors to #WineWednesdays to the budding oenophile just starting out.

Toilet Paper: Issue 9 - THAMES & HUDSON
Maurizio Cattelan and Pierpaolo Ferrari

Toiletpaper is an artists’ magazine created and produced by Maurizio Cattelan and Pierpaolo Ferrari, born out of a passion or obsession they both cultivate: images. The magazine contains no text; each picture springs from an idea, often simple, and through a complex orchestration of people it becomes the materialization of the artists’ mental outbursts. Since the first issue, in June 2010, Toilet Paper has created a world that displays ambiguous narratives and a troubling imagination. It combines the vernacular of commercial photography with twisted narrative tableaux and surrealistic imagery. The result is a publication that is itself a work of art which, through its accessible form as a magazine, and through its wide distribution, challenges the limits of the contemporary art economy.

ToiletAlex PaperPrager - THAMES & HUDSON
Alex Prager, Maurizio Cattelan and Pierpaolo Ferrari

‘ToiletAlex PaperPrager’ magazine is an original project born from the encounter between the visionary world of ‘Toiletpaper’ and the uncanny imagery of Alex Prager, American artist, director, and screenwriter.

The magazine features a back-to-back of twelve images by Alex Prager and twelve conceived by ‘Toiletpaper’: the alluring aesthetics, vibrant colors, and characteristic visual deviations found in ‘Toiletpaper’ enhance Prager’s universe, and reciprocally so. The artist’s exploration of the delicate boundary between reality and fiction, utilizing her unique blend of archetypes, everyday objects, humor, and allegory, forms the core of a tantalizing and enigmatic journey.

This new magazine is in continuity with ‘ToiletMartin PaperParr’, a special publication that in 2018 collected the most iconic images from the prolific archives of the internationally renowned artist Martin Parr and the Cattelan-Ferrari duo.

‘ToiletAlex PaperPrager’ is also the name of the project featured at Toiletpaper Apartment in via Balzaretti 8, in Milan, from April 12 to April 21 on the occasion of the Milan Art Week and Milan Design Week. In conjunction with this event, from April 12 to 21 the American gallery Lehmann Maupin will exhibit in its new pop-up space in Milan (Via della Spiga 48) new works by Alex Prager in a group exhibition of internatinal artists.
