Summary:
This series presents international architects and designer in monographies. Pierro Lissoni is one of Italy's most successful Designers, leading a company in Milan with over 50 Architects and Designers. So far he is known more for his furniture design rather than his architecture. He is often thought of as a minimalist, but in reality, Piero Lissoni's aim is to create a complementary cohabitation of different styles. His highest goal is simplicity: as way of thinking, as an attitude, simplicity holds a great inner complexity. For Piero Lissoni it is always imperative to scale down and get to the bottom of things. Among his customers are renown companies such as Boffi and Matteograssi. The book introduces to a selection of his outstanding projects all around the world. Text in english, german, french, spanish and italian.

Summary:
The Domestic Scene reveals Niedecken as a forward-looking designer influenced by European Art Nouveau and Secessionist design as well as by the Arts and Crafts Movement. Cheryl Robertson focuses on three examples of Niedecken’s commissions and an article by Niedecken himself (reprinted in this volume) to explore the evolving relationship between architect, interior designer, and client in the first quarter of the twentieth century. This expanded second edition includes updated photography, additional color images, and an essay by John C. Eastberg that deepens our understanding of Niedecken’s career by presenting his lesser-known work in the context of Milwaukee’s artistic and social history. Niedecken worked also in the Colonial and Renaissance Revival modes, and these works illustrate his versatility as a designer and entrepreneur.

Summary:
Comme tous les grands inventeurs de formes, Piero Fornasetti a fini par disparaître derrière celles qu'il avait inventées. Figure essentielle des années cinquante, on lui doit (en particulier au cours d'une fructueuse collaboration avec Gio Ponti) quelques-uns des meubles et objets les plus caractéristiques de cette période, inlassablement reproduits dans les histoires du design et les magazines de décoration. Par-delà même ces réussites incomparables, Fornasetti fut une personnalité versatile, à la tête d'une œuvre multiforme, embrassant aussi bien l'art graphique que la verrerie, la porcelaine que le tissu, la gravure que le théâtre, le mobilier que la peinture. Travailleur acharné, il poursuivit souverainement, entre 1935 et 1988, une recherche obstinée, se créant une mythologie personnelle, un monde imaginaire dont il ne cessa, un peu comme Jean Cocteau, de varier les éléments. C'est à ce monde totalement méconnu qu'ouvre le présent ouvrage. Conçu en collaboration avec l'artiste peu avant sa disparition, il embrasse en une série d'étonnants documents et de superbes illustrations tous les aspects d'une œuvre aussi prolifique que méconnue. Alors que l'on redécouvre les uns après les autres tous les créateurs du " style cinquante ", il rend justice à l'un des plus riches d'entre eux, créateur d'espaces excentriques, d'images envoûtantes et seul, disait Gio Ponti, à " savoir faire parler les objets ".
