Summary:
Vanessa R. Schwartz engagingly presents the jet plane’s power to define a new age at a critical moment in the mid-20th century, arguing that the craft’s speed and smooth ride allowed people to imagine themselves living in the future. Exploring realms as diverse as airport architecture, theme park design, film, and photography, Schwartz argues that the jet created an aesthetic that circulated on the ground below. Visual and media culture, including Eero Saarinen’s airports, David Bailey’s photographs of the jet set, and Ernst Haas’s experiments in color photojournalism glamorized the imagery of motion. Drawing on unprecedented access to the archives of The Walt Disney Studios, Schwartz also examines the period’s most successful example of fluid motion meeting media culture: Disneyland. The park’s dedication to “people-moving” defined Walt Disney’s vision, shaping the very identity of the place. The jet age aesthetic laid the groundwork for our contemporary media culture, in which motion is so fluid that we can surf the internet while going nowhere at all.

Told through exclusive interviews, unreleased photographs, original drawings and artwork unearthed from personal archives, "SuperDesign" explores this period of design that played out against the era’s social and political turmoil.

Fondé en 1928 par le grand architecte et designer milanais Gio Ponti qui voulait en faire un «journal vivant», domus a été salué comme le magazine d’architecture et de design le plus influent au monde. Alliant style et rigueur, il a traité en profondeur des thèmes et évolutions de style majeurs en matière de design industriel, de produit, de structure et d’intérieur. Dans cette nouvelle réédition des tous les numéros des années 1960, le magazine suit les merveilleux projets audacieux et pratiques d’une décennie grisée par le frisson futuriste et l’explosion de la pop culture. Synthétiques et plastiques font leur entrée sur scène, entraînant un design radicalement nouveau, alors que les notions conventionnelles d’élégance laissent la place à des formes expérimentales inédites. Pour qu’une œuvre figure dans le magazine, elle devait allier fonctionnalité, clarté spatiale, persuasion intellectuelle, originalité pertinente et/ou beauté. Parmi les projets et professionnels retenus figurent les mouvements d’anti-design et de design radical, Ray et Charles Eames, Gae Aulenti, Kenzo Tange, Verner Panton, Achill et Pier Giacomo Castiglioni, Ettore Sottsass, Carlo Scarpa, Angelo Mangiarotti, Cesare Maria Casati et Eero Saarinen.

Following World War II, Americans began accumulating more and more goods, spurring a transformation in the field of interior decoration. Storage walls became ubiquitous, often serving as a home's centerpiece. Designers such as Alexander Girard encouraged homeowners to populate their new shelving units with folk art, as well as unconventional and modern objects, to produce innovative and unexpected juxtapositions within modern architectural settings. Playfulness can be seen in the colorful, child-sized furniture by Charles and Ray Eames, who also produced toys. And in the postwar corporate world, the concept of play is manifested in the influential advertising work of Paul Rand.
