Le musée des Arts décoratifs rend hommage au travail de designer d'objets et de mobilier de l’architecte Jean Nouvel. Peu d’architectes contemporains ont eu en parallèle une œuvre de designer aussi conséquente. C'est l’occasion pour lui d’aller au bout de son engagement d’architecte : un meuble, une table, une chaise, un bureau, c’est une architecture en soi. Pour Jean Nouvel, ce travail a donné lieu à plus de 100 créations éditées de 1987 à aujourd’hui. Rassemblées pour la première fois, ces pièces sont présentées dans les galeries du Moyen Âge, des XVIIe et XVIIe siècles du musée des Arts décoratifs, mais également dans l’espace conçu par Jean Nouvel en 1998 et dédié à la Publicité. En outre, le catalogue présente de nombreux projets et études qui ne sont pas concrétisés par une édition commercialisée, mais qui permettent d’entrer dans le laboratoire de l’architecte designer, ainsi que des installations et des collaborations avec d’autres artistes comme Xavier Veilhan et Daniel Buren.

Among the great Danish designers, Finn Juhl (1912–89) ranks alongside such giants as Hans J. Wegner and Arne Jacobsen.

He was particularly well known for his sculptural, seemingly organic tables, chairs and sofas, but the complex interior designs that he developed in the 1940s and ‘50s were also enormously successful. These include the Danish Embassy in Washington, DC, and the conference room of the United Nations Trusteeship Council in New York. However, it is not widely known that Finn Juhl was also a talented watercolor painter who used the medium to devise gorgeous, exacting sketches of his pieces. For the first time, this publication allows readers to take a unique look at the designer’s working methods.

La trajectoire d'Olivier Vadrot (né en 1970 à Semur-en-Auxois) s'est déterminée à la croisée de nombreux domaines : l'architecture, le design, le commissariat et la scénographie d'exposition, la scène théâtrale et musicale. En parallèle de ses études en architecture, il se lance dans l'aventure collective du Théâtre Pluzdank. Il cofonde le centre d'art contemporain La Salle de bains à Lyon puis le groupe Cocktail Designers au sein duquel il conçoit plusieurs dispositifs d'écoute pour des labels musicaux. Son séjour à la Villa Médicis (2012-2013) en tant que scénographe marque un important tournant dans son parcours, qui le conduit à faire des relevés dans la plupart des édifices de spectacle antiques. Sa pratique personnelle s'est récemment affirmée en se recentrant autour de micro-architectures permettant de faire assemblée. Si certains de ces dispositifs sont nomades et éphémères, d'autres ont été plus durablement implantés dans l'espace public. Olivier Vadrot porte une attention extrême aux conditions d'existence matérielle des objets qu'il produit : économie de fabrication, multiplicité d'usages incluant le transport, le montage, le stockage, possibles adaptations, entretien et renouvellement.

Jean-Michel Frank never attended a school of architecture or design, yet during the 1920s and 1930s this self-made interior designer honed and perfected his own unique style, which became a benchmark of Art Deco sophistication. Gold, silk, marble, and fine wood veneers were employed alongside straw marquetry, parchment, plaster, leather, canvas, and distressed oak. Collaborating with the best artists of the time, including Alberto Giacometti and Christian Bérard, Frank designed and art directed streamlined yet sumptuous interiors for notable patrons from Marie-Laure and Charles de Noailles, Nelson Rockefeller, and Elsa Schiaparelli to French institutions like the Comédie Française and the Hôtel Crillon.
