Il permet de préciser le travail de l'artiste d'un point de vue structurel, sa recherche de lignes et de formes nouvelles, tout en le replaçant dans les préoccupations sociologiques qui l'ont toujours motivé. Ainsi est mise en lumière la sensibilité de cet architecte en matière de design, qui s'étend avec une rigueur et une qualité égales de l'urbanisme des grands projets au mobilier conçu pour les habiter, des fauteuils aux objets de verre, des poignées de porte aux luminaires.

Summary:
"Industrial Strength Design: How Brooks Stevens Shaped Your World" is an introduction to the work of industrial designer Brooks Stevens (1911-1995). Believing that an industrial designer "should be a businessman, an engineer, and a stylist, in that order," Stevens created thousands of designs for industrial and household products--including a clothes dryer with a window in the front, a wide-mouthed peanut butter jar, and the Oscar Mayer Wienermobile. He invented a precursor to the SUV by turning a Jeep into a station wagon after World War II, and streamlined steam irons so that they resembled aircraft. This book, which accompanies an exhibit at the Milwaukee Art Museum, includes 250 illustrations of designs by Stevens and his firm, many in colour.

Summary:
Irish-born designer Eileen Gray (1878-1976) is widely known today as a pioneer of both Art Deco and Modernism. In a career spanning nearly 80 years she produced innovative designs for furniture, lighting, carpets, interiors and architecture. Much less well known is that throughout her life as a designer and an architect she never stopped producing small paintings and drawings. This book is the first to focus on Eileen Gray's important but essentially private work as a painter. Eileen Gray considered herself a designer and an architect, not a painter: she viewed her work as a painter with great modesty, treating it as a private occupation and a vehicle for artistic expression during periods when she could not design furniture. Much of her artwork has disappeared, either lost in the Second World War or destroyed by the artist herself. But a body of works on paper, produced between the 1920s and the 1950s, has survived: elegant, geometric drawings and gouaches of muted tonality and subtle power. This book, which reproduces unseen material from the Eileen Gray archive and draws on Gray's correspondence with her niece Prunella Clough on the nature of painting, will be a revelation to her many followers and admirers.
