Jewelry Creators
Author: Beth Bernstein and Sonia Esther Soltani

Jewelry Creators, Dynamic Duos and Generational Gems is a richly illustrated and engaging coffee table book that focuses on the human relationships behind the world of jewelry. From creative duos to family businesses that have passed down craftsmanship for generations: this book shows how collaboration, trust, and a shared vision lead to timeless jewelry.

The second part zooms in on generations of jewelers who connect heritage with innovation. Through 22 leading brands, you not only get an impression of the jewelry itself but also of the stories behind it. Personal anecdotes, surprising insights, and lesser-known facts make this book an inspiring and accessible reading experience.

Gered Mankowitz: Photographs

Gered Mankowitz is among the absolute top in the history of photography. With Photographs, he presents his most comprehensive book to date: an impressive overview of no less than 65 years of photography, from 1960 to 2025. The book will be released around his 80th birthday and feels like a crowning achievement for an exceptional career.

Mankowitz became a leading name in London during the Swinging Sixties. A photoshoot with Marianne Faithfull marked the beginning of his long-standing collaboration with The Rolling Stones, for whom he was the official photographer in the mid-sixties. This was followed by iconic portraits of music legends such as Jimi Hendrix, The Yardbirds, Elton John, and Kate Bush.

However, his oeuvre extends far beyond music. Mankowitz continually developed: from promotional photos of movie stars like Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton to award-winning advertising campaigns for brands such as Heineken and British Rail. He also continued to capture new generations of artists and published several books about his work. With his own texts, Mankowitz shows how he always remained in dialogue with his medium – curious, sharp, and relevant.

What to expect:

• The most complete overview ever of Gered Mankowitz's work, spanning six decades
• Rare and never-before-published photos that highlight his unique vision and signature
• Personal commentary from Mankowitz himself, full of anecdotes and behind-the-scenes insights
• Contributions from close collaborators and subjects such as Noddy Holder, Dave Stewart, and Suzie Quatro
• An indispensable reference work for lovers of photography, music, and visual culture

About the Author

Gered Mankowitz was born into a family of creatives and intellectuals. He left school at fifteen, without qualifications, but with a clear direction: photography. Encouraged by a friend of his father – the legendary actor Peter Sellers – he picked up the camera. After a short period in fashion photography, he broke through with his images of the vibrant music scene of the sixties. Later, he expanded his field to film and advertising, where he further refined his versatility and craftsmanship.

Gered Mankowitz: Photographs is therefore not just a coffee table book; it is also the story of a photographer who constantly reinvented himself.

The current reconquest of infinite spaces. This is the option of the new rural, a way of life that has persisted, paradoxically made possible thanks to technology, the internet, and remote working.

We live in a time when the city is becoming too small and offers us less and less satisfaction, due to the high costs, the low number of square meters, and various sacrifices that result in a poorer quality of life.

In the urban world, going to the countryside has always been an ideal escape to the good life, and today it is more possible than ever. The book The New Rural. Interiors Within Nature shows the interior design of some thirty homes in a rural setting. New homes, converted spaces, or renovations, which offer maximum comfort to their inhabitants without giving up the comforts of modern life, while making optimal use of the close connection with nature.

Modular architecture with an avant-garde design

In 2009, Modular Projects launched a modular architecture product based on modular industrialized construction with a wooden structure for private homes, warehouses, penthouses, or extensions. This type of construction, common in the USA and many Northern European countries, allows construction in 120 days at a much lower cost than the traditional brick construction system, with unbeatable energy efficiency and a finish comparable to a luxury home.

With over 190 homes completed to date, these modular constructions are faster and easier to build (significantly reducing costs), and are made with safe, ecological, flexible, and functional materials, with much better thermal and acoustic performance than traditional construction.

The only illustrated book about Venice on the market in black and white

Photographer Federico Povoleri is a born Venetian and knows his hometown like no other. With his poetic black and white photographs, he captures an atmosphere of the lagoon city that usually gets lost in the hustle and bustle of the tourist crowds.

Thomas Hoepker (b. 1936 in Munich) is one of the icons of documentary photography.
