Summary:
Créatrice incontournable du XXe siècle, Charlotte Perriand (1903-1999) est l'une des fondatrices de l'architecture d'intérieur moderne, discipline à part entière de l'art de bâtir. Figurant parmi les pionniers du design, bien que sa démarche reste avant tout celle d'une architecte, elle n'a cessé, pendant soixante-dix ans de sa vie de création, de mener une réflexion politique et éthique sur un habitat adapté à l'homme. Dès sa sortie de l'école de l'Union centrale des arts décoratifs à l'âge de 22 ans, elle se libère du conservatisme dominant pour figurer deux ans plus tard dans l'avant-garde française parmi les créateurs des premiers meubles en tube. Frappé par la modernité du Bar sous le toit qu'elle expose au Salon d'automne de 1927, Le Corbusier lui propose de s'associer à lui et à Pierre Jeanneret pour l'aménagement intérieur, le mobilier et l'équipement des villas qu'ils construisent. En 1929, elle est l'une des cofondatrices de l'Union des artistes modernes. Pendant les dix années de sa collaboration avec Le Corbusier, elle poursuit des recherches sur un habitat et un mobilier pour le plus grand nombre, l'architecture préfabriquée modulaire et l'urbanisme au sein des Congrès internationaux d'architecture moderne (CIAM) dont elle est l'une des animatrices en France. Parallèlement, elle développe la technique du photomontage pour la communication de ses idées politiques. Nommée en 1940 conseillère pour l'art industriel au Japon, elle découvre une conception de l'habitat traditionnel qui rejoint les théories les plus avant-gardistes. Cette expérience est déterminante dans l'élaboration de son " Art d'habiter ", manifeste exprimant une vision fondée sur l'harmonie et le vide qu'elle rédige à son retour en France. A cette époque, elle participe à la fondation du mouvement Formes utiles dans le cadre de l'UAM. En 1952, la perspective d'une production en série l'amène à signer avec les Ateliers Jean Prouvé une convention aux termes de laquelle elle est chargée de l'amélioration esthétique (les meubles existants et d'apporter des dessins (le meubles nouveaux. Ces années 50 voient la concrétisation de ses recherches sur le rangement avec le placard Brazza, les bibliothèques Mexique et Tunisie -aussi célèbres que la chaise longue basculante, le fauteuil pivotant et le fauteuil grand confort réalisés en 1928 avec Le Corbusier et Pierre Jeanneret. Les chantiers d'équipement qu'elle dirige alors- immeuble Air France à Brazzaville, maisons de la Tunisie et du Mexique, agences Air France de Londres, Paris et Tokyo et pavillon du Brésil en 1959 - préfigurent le travail considérable qu'elle accomplira pour la station des Arcs en Savoie au cours des années 70 et 80.

Divided into five parts by theme (SYMBOLIK, IKONIK, GRAPHIK, OPTIKAL, and INFOSTETHIK), Digipop showcases Rashid’s colorful, geometrical patterns both as simple designs and as applied to three-dimensional objects such as clothing, figures, and abstract shapes. Created over the last ten years for architectural products, objects, art shows, and gallery and museum installations, these designs, graphics, and icons are meant, says Rashid, “to suggest, inspire, consider, criticize, document, represent, symbolize and energize the worlds of the decorative, from objects to fashion, textile, and space.”

Summary:
Among distinguished contemporary designers, Alessandro Mendini is perhaps most deserving of the overused title of Renaissance man. Painter, writer, architect, theorist, designer: his work in all these fields has influenced generations of other artists and craftsmen and delighted even those who don’t know his name but have entered his spaces (like his stores for Alessi and Swatch), sipped from his espresso cups, and rested in his chairs. Through his work as a founder of Studio Alchimia in 1979 and editor of the magazines Casabella, Modo, and domus, Mendini has fought the strictures of modernism and championed the expressive value of decoration, which is the foundation for the development of his designs. This book offers a window into Mendini's working methods by presenting some 2,000 of his introductory designs, sketches, and texts that would eventually be realized as objects and buildings. This one-of-a-kind archive is both an important contribution to the history of design for scholars and students and a source of inspiration for designers and artists.

His complete system of furniture-including stools, chairs, armchairs, and tea trolley with oversized wheels, all characterized by curving lines-was considered exemplary and acquired by the New York Museum of Modern Art as early as 1938. In collaboration with his first wife Aino Marsio (1894-1949), he also designed organic, floral forms in glass. His legendary Savoy Vase of 1936, created for the hotel of the same name, and the group of bowls designed to be combined to form the "Aalto Flower" have often been compared to sculptures and paintings of Classical Modernism. This extensive publication presents the pioneering furniture, glass objects, and lamps of Alvar and Aino Aalto in a large selection of photographs, paintings, drawings, and sketches. Texts by Björn Egging, Thomas Kellein.
