Summary:
Hella Jongerius is a Dutch designer who first gained notoriety in 1993 as a member of the renowned Dutch group Droog Design. She now heads her own Rotterdam-based company, JongeriusLab, making a highly unique collection of products including ceramics, textiles, tableware, and furniture. Eschewing the slickness and perfectionism of much current industrial design, as well as the concurrent minimalist trend of the 1990s, Jongerius brings an emphasis on sensuous but simple forms, interesting textures, and organic and malleable materials that often retain traces of their origin and making. Her objects are sold by Cappellini, Donna Karen, Swarovski crystal, Maharam fabrics, and several companies in The Netherlands, and her work is in the collection of The Museum of Modern Art in New York, The San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, and several Dutch museums. This is the first book on Jongerius. Designed by Jongerius in collaboration with COMA, a Dutch graphic design team working in Amsterdam and Brooklyn, New York, it showcases her work of the past decade with specially commissioned photographs, accompanied by an interview text and two essays by Louise Shouwenberg, a frequent collaborator.

Summary:
George Nelson (1908-1986) was a pioneering modernist who ranks with such outstanding American designers as Raymond Loewy, Charles Eames, and Eliot Noyes. Nelson's office produced some of the twentieth century's canonical pieces of industrial design, many of which are still in production: the ball clock, the bubble lamp, and the sling sofa. Nelson also made major contributions to the storage wall, the shopping mall, the multimedia presentation, and the open-plan office system. The author of this definitive biography was given access to Nelson's office archives and personal papers. He also interviewed more than seventy of Nelson's friends, colleagues, employees, and clients, and obtained many previously unpublished images from corporate and private archives. The full range of Nelson's work is represented, from product and furniture design to packaging and graphics to large-scale projects such as the Fairchild house and the 1959 American National Exhibition in Moscow. Because Nelson was a serious and original thinker about design issues, Abercrombie quotes extensively from his published and unpublished writings, offering provocative new material to students of design theory and philosophy.

Summary:
Robert Earl Paige is one of the most iconic artists and designers from Chicago’s South Side. A multidisciplinary artist and arts educator, he works across textile design, painting, collage, and sculpture. During the 1970s, he brought West African–inspired patterns to U.S. shoppers through the Dakkabar fabrics collection available at Sears, Roebuck, leading to the inclusion of Black culture in home design. In addition to exploring Paige’s personal and artistic practice, through essays by Dr. Romi Crawford and Dr. Gervais Marsh, ''The United Colors of Robert Earl Paige'' contextualizes his work in relation to social and artistic movements, from the minimalism and abstraction of the 1960s and 1970s to AfriCOBRA and the Black Arts Movement in Chicago and across the United States. Published in conjunction with Paige’s exhibition at Hyde Park Art Center in 2024, this fully illustrated book includes reproductions of the artist’s handpainted scarves, collages, and rugs made during the past sixty years, along with new ceramic tiles, collages, and textiles.

Summary:
Hans Wegner’s sophisticated chair designs, paragons of the midcentury-modern style, are beloved and imitated the world over, but scant few are familiar with his masterly watercolors. Wegner often used the medium to finish and finalize the drawings made in his workshop. Although woodworking and watercolor were both increasingly considered traditional in the New Media Age, Wegner’s artistic temperament saw him use both these mediums to boundary-breaking effect in his search for the perfect chair. "Watercolors by Hans J. Wegner" showcases his watercolors in thematic chapters, delving into the artistic dimensions of his design studio. Beyond illustrations of some of his notable chair models, the featured watercolors also highlight his lighting fixtures and complete room designs. They are interpreted by Anne Blond, director of the future Wegner Museum in Denmark and author of Wegner’s biography on the centennial anniversary of his birth in 2014.

Summary:
« La Fabrique de Pierre Charpin » réunit des textes écrits par le designer, plasticien et scénographe français Pierre Charpin au cours des deux dernières décennies. Rédigés pour la plupart en amont des projets, ces textes cherchent à restituer leur dimension sensible ainsi que les aléas qui traversent toute entreprise créative. À leur manière, ces écrits font partie intégrante de son travail. De ces collaborations avec des commanditaires comme Alessi ou la Cristallerie Saint-Louis, en passant par sa pratique du dessin, la place qu’occupe son atelier ou le rôle de ses différents collaborateurs dans sa pratique, Pierre Charpin ouvre une perspective inédite sur la démarche d’un designer au tournant du XXIe siècle, mais aussi sur les doutes et les hésitations qui habitent la mise en œuvre de ses projets.
