Summary:
Whether it's design, interiors or architecture, the client list for the Swedish firm Sandell Sandberg reads like a roster of the world's edgiest companies, including B Italia, Artimide, Ericsson, Electrolux and IKEA. This first-ever comprehensive book about the firm, established in 1995, shows off the powerful, idiosyncratic sense of form that has placed principal Thomas Sandell at the forefront of the international architecture and design scene. Sandell's playful approach characterizes projects ranging from IKEA lamps or vacation retreats that look like they were designed for modernist trolls, to housing for the underprivileged in suburban communities. A substantial book on a designer whose influence will only grow with the decades.

Summary:
Dallegret’s own life and work denies anything so predictable as a neat synopsis, but in essence his work, beginning in Paris in the late 1950s and early 60s, and later taking in New York and Montréal, absorbs everything from intricate line drawings for a series of astrological vehicles and designs for a number of machines (from those that assist in cooking a meal to others that generate literature) to the ‘A Home Is Not a House’ collaboration with the critic Reyner Banham; a drugstore/gallery in Montréal; proposals for a new Montréal Palais Metro; designs for chairs, more cars and yet more machines; a film collaborative set up to shoot a western; contributions to the Montréal 67 Expo; engraved bars of soap; subversive credit cards; ‘ironique’ villas and light installations. The book will illustrate a great many of these works and contains essays on Dallegret’s life and legacy by the historians Alessandra Ponte and Laurent Stalder. GOD & CO is published to accompany an exhibition at the Architectural Association, London.

Summary:
"La couleur nous inpire des expériences qui racontent notre style et notre philosophie de la société. Nous la travaillons comme une quatrième dimension, composante essentielle pour imaginer l'espace et la vie de demain... Quand nous avons réalisé notre première expérience en 1995, la couleur semblait dérangeante, son rôle passait au second plan. Le monochrome a été notre postulat, pour une approche radicale des volumes, des matières et des textures. Notre envie des couleurs est toujours spontanée et intuitive. Nous la spatialisons pour poétiser le présent et matérialiser le futur" "Colour is the catalyst in our experimental approach to style and society. We explore it like a fourth dimension and it is an essential part of the way we imagine space and things to come. When we carried out our first experience in 1995, colour seemed disturbing and took a secondary role. Monochrome was our main statement in a radical approach to volumes, materials and textures. Our desire for colour is still spontaneous and intuitive. We spatialise it to enhance the present and shape the future" - Olivier Guillemin & Olivier Védrine
