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.

Wendell Castle (1932-2018) is regarded as the father of the American studio movement. His innovative work in stack-laminated wood and gel-coated fiberglass from the '60s and '70s is coveted by museums and collectors all over the world. In 1959, Castle's wife, the artist Nancy Jurs, started collecting press clippings, photographs, invitations and personal notes on Castle's work, eventually assembling them into an oversized scrapbook. This scrapbook, reproduced here in exact facsimile, proves that the work created by Castle during these decades had a more lasting impression on his field than he fully recognized--while also allowing us to better comprehend the challenges he faced for not following the herd.

Price:

(available to order)
Summary:
To study Gio Ponti’s prolific body of work is to appreciate the clear, unifying vision behind a complex creative universe. A synthesis of the arts, his creations expand intuitively with the Italian grandeur and studied lightness that defined his iconic style. Ponti’s rare capacity to move seamlessly between scales allowed him to approach the design of a teaspoon with the same conviction as he did an entire city. He was as much an architect and designer as he was a publisher, poet, and man. A treasure in its own regard, his contribution is also a distinctive landmark of Italy’s mid-century Renaissance and the modernist values it sought to realize. This new book is the most comprehensive account of Ponti’s work to date, unprecedented in scale and scope. It tracks the development of his oeuvre over 6 decades, with 136 projects indexed and reproduced in high resolution, each object framed by the context in which Ponti had created it. Like windows onto his elusive life, unpublished materials and candid imagery create new dialogues between his famous masterpieces and his lesser-known feats. A rich layer of texts, featuring an extensive biographical essay by Stefano Casciani, was produced in close collaboration with the Gio Ponti Archives offering an intimate insight on his life’s work. Materializing Ponti’s core philosophy of modernity, this book presents architecture as a performing object, a "self-illuminating" stage for his humanistic art de vivre and boundless creativity.
