Richly complemented with over 500 beautiful images of window displays, objets d’art, travel sights, and artistic landmarks from around the world, The Art of Window, Display, and Design showcases the creative display of merchandise that can quickly segue into its own art form, transcending the banality of everyday objects to achieve a visual narrative that is more durable for all time.

This addition to Vibal Foundation’s Fifty Shades of Philippine Art series catalogues not only the famous windows of the authors’ lifestyle and home furnishings stores, but also their interiors and fashion productions. The book features ten essays on art styles and design elements from across the globe and provides tips and principles of visual merchandising, interior design, and fashion.

Among the highlights: a trip to Kenya inspired by Out of Africa and Anglo-African safari style; an in-depth look at mono no aware and Japanese art as filtered through the geisha culture of Kyoto; the world of fantasy as seen through the mad king Ludwig of Bavaria; classical aesthetics through the prism of Puccini’s Tosca; and the cultural kaleidoscope behind the duo’s benefit fashion shows for the Philippine National Red Cross.
