The classic book on the art and history of weaving--now expanded and in full color

Written by one of the twentieth century's leading textile artists, this splendidly illustrated book is a luminous meditation on the art of weaving, its history, its tools and techniques, and its implications for modern design. First published in 1965, On Weaving bridges the transition between handcraft and the machine-made, highlighting the essential importance of material awareness and the creative leaps that can occur when design problems are tackled by hand.

With her focus on materials and handlooms, Anni Albers discusses how technology and mass production place limits on creativity and problem solving, and makes the case for a renewed embrace of human ingenuity that is particularly important today. Her lucid and engaging prose is illustrated with a wealth of rare and extraordinary images showing the history of the medium, from hand-drawn diagrams and close-ups of pre-Columbian textiles to material studies with corn, paper, and the typewriter, as well as illuminating examples of her own work.

Now available for a new generation of readers, this expanded edition of On Weaving updates the book's original black-and-white illustrations with full-color photos, and features an afterword by Nicholas Fox Weber and essays by Manuel Cirauqui and T'ai Smith that shed critical light on Albers and her career.

Great Industrial Style Shelf - Easy Install and Sturdy Build
Item Package Quantity: 1, Size: 3 Tiers 24 Inch
I'm really happy with this 3-tier industrial pipe shelf bracket! It fits perfectly with my industrial chic/light steampunk decor theme and adds exactly the vintage industrial look I was going for. Installation: Took me about an hour to get it completely mounted, which was totally reasonable. All the necessary hardware was included, and the instructions were straightforward. I mounted it to drywall without any issues. Quality: The build quality feels solid and sturdy - definitely not flimsy like some wall shelves I've tried. It holds weight as expected, and I have confidence it'll support my display items long-term. Functionality: I'm using it to display various decorative items and knick-knacks, and it's perfect for that purpose. The three tiers give me good display space without taking up floor space. Style: The retro industrial pipe design is spot-on if you're going for that aesthetic. It really complements an industrial chic or steampunk theme well. Overall, I'd definitely recommend this to anyone looking for functional floating shelves with industrial character. Good value for the quality and style you get.

Great product

Great item. I love the look, it’s perfect for displaying my collection. I didn’t actually set it up per the instructions, I modified it, but it’s like legos, you can get creative. I only attached the top and they hang. Use better fasteners though, I don’t trust the ones they provide

These were a great purchase! I bought two of them, and they look great in my son’s room, as he likes to collect and display action figures. The wood shelves and metal bars are of good quality and are also the perfect size and height. Also excellent value for the price!

Nice shelves that will work with some modifications
Item Package Quantity: 1, Size: 6 Tiers, Item Package Quantity: 1, Size: 6 Tiers
Pay attention to the bottom shelf and where it is relative to the floor. It’s only about 6 inches, which isn’t good for a retail environment. I swapped the bottom nipples out for some 10” nipples and the results were night and day. So much better now.
