Summary:
Au moment où s’engagent les travaux de restauration de la villa E.1027, maison de vacances en bord de mer conçue et réalisée à Roquebrune-Cap-Martin par Eileen Gray et Jean Badovici, il est apparu opportun de mettre à nouveau à la disposition du public le superbe porte-folio qui l’avait documentée et célébrée en 1929, l’année de sa livraison. La présente réédition du numéro spécial de la revue française d’avant-garde L’Architecture Vivante, (Éditions Albert Morancé, 1929, une copie se trouve dans la bibliothèque du CCA) attentive à préserver la qualité du document original, est augmentée de trois articles introductifs qui nous permettent de comprendre : - Les conditions de la redécouverte de cette icône dans les années 1970 (Jean-Paul Rayon) ; - Le contexte de sa conception et les motivations de Le Corbusier lorsqu’il appose ses peintures murales (Jean-Lucien Bonillo) ; - les choix techniques qui dérivent des contraintes du chantier (Pierre-Antoine Gatier). Attentive à préserver une dimension poétique et une éthique humaniste dans la conduite de son travail, Eileen Gray nous livre avec E.1027 un témoignage rare et précieux du rêve moderne de l’œuvre d’art totale.

Summary:
In the 1950s, when contemporary industrial design was just beginning to take off in Italy, Franca Santi Gualtieri was invited to join the editorial team of the fledgling Stile Industria, an offshoot of the influential design magazine, Domus. Written as a personal history of the birth of contemporary Italian industrial design, this charming and engaging paperback maps out the story of Gualtieri's experience at the magazine from the years 1954 to 1963, as well as his close collaboration with the famed, contemporaneous Abitare magazine. Contributors to both magazines made their careers as designers during the era, and are today among the most famous in the world--including Ettore Sottsass, Bruno Munari, Vico Magistretti, Albe Steiner and many others. Stile Industria was a landmark publication that wielded tremendous influence over its 10 years of existence. It defined the design standard during an era when Italy led the way for the rest of the world.

Summary:
Businessman and art collector Hermann Lange entertained a close connection to Mies van der Rohe and interior designer Lilly, and their associations involved family, friends, and Lange’s company. From 1927 to 1930 this resulted in structures such as Lange’s own home, Haus Lange in Krefeld, as well as the “Crous” apartment for Lange’s eldest daughter and her husband in Berlin. The couple took the decor and furnishings for this apartment — down to the bell plate — to all of their later apartments, even into the 1990s. This volume is therefore the first to present many of van der Rohe’s and Reich’s furniture pieces, as well as the original decor from Haus Lange (now a museum), thus providing new insights into the collaboration of the two designers.

Summary:
Founder with Josef Hoffmann of the Wiener WerkstÃtte (or Vienna Workshop), Koloman Moser furnished Viennese homes with a simplicity and elegance that contrasted the city's baroque decadence. But, as this volume demonstrates, Moser's influence extended far beyond stylish living rooms. Here readers will be introduced to Moser as an artisan, painter, educator, designer, and driving force behind the artistic institutions of fin de siecle Vienna. Hundreds of color illustrations showcase the artist's design concepts for entire rooms, including inlaid furniture, dinnerware, vases, and wall hangings, which followed a cohesive concept that renders them classic and timeless. The volume traces Moser's artistic development as he branched into public projects, designing stamps, banknotes, and the glorious windows of the Otto Wagner Church in Steinhof. Readers are also treated to samples of Moser's paintings--landscapes, portraits and mythological scenes that are characterized by their extraordinary coloring. Enhanced with photographs, many never before published, from the artist's private life, this dazzling monograph presents the full range of Moser's contributions to the world of art and design.
