En 1931, elle intègre l'agence de Jacques-Émile Ruhlmann et épouse le décorateur Maurice Pré, avec qui elle travaille jusqu'en 1945. À l'Exposition internationale des arts et techniques de 1937 à Paris, ils réalisent Le Pied-à-terre d'un archéologue aux côtés de Maxime Old. Séparée de Maurice Pré, Janette Laverrière s'oriente vers un mobilier économique et novateur. Dès 1950, elle entre dans les collections du Mobilier national. Ses chantiers les plus importants sont l'aménagement du palais présidentiel de Niamey et l'Hôpital suisse de Paris. Dans son travail, couvrant une grande partie du XXe siècle, on retrouve une quête de simplicité et une poésie qui se révèlent particulièrement dans les miroirs qu'elle n'a cessé de créer de 1936 à aujourd'hui.

ANDRÉ ARBUS (Toulouse 1903-Paris 1969) Je suis d'une vieille famille d'ébénistes. De père en fils depuis très longtemps. Autant dire que je suis né dans un atelier d'ébénisterie. " André Arbus complète cette formation par une culture classique, acquise à l'école des beaux-arts de Toulouse. Il choisit l'art décoratif alors qu s'ouvre à Paris l'Exposition internationale des arts décoratifs de 1925, où il expose une coiffeuse. En 1933, il s'installe à Paris. Les salons, les galeries, les expositions, les critiques lui permettent de se faire connaître de l'élite à laquelle ses créations sont destinées. À 30 ans, il s'impose comme le chef de file du retour à la tradition et à la qualité françaises. Il est le représentant de cet " esprit de suite " du XVIIIe siècle, dans lequel le critique Waldemar George voit le salut du mobilier contemporain. En 1936, Arbus reçoit sa première commande officielle : l'ameublement du ministère de l'Agriculture. Il est présent dans de nombreux pavillons à l'Exposition des arts et techniques dans la vie moderne de 1937, où les métiers d'art et les régions sont à l'honneur. Il particip à l'Exposition universelle de New York, en 1939, avec un meuble-manifeste, monumental, architectural, en sycomore et laque d'or, annonciateur de son œuvre des années 40. À partir de 1946, il devient l'un des fournisseurs attitrés du Mobilier national qui, sous la direction de Georges Fontaine, entreprend un ambitieu programme d'ameublement des ministères et des palais nationaux. Il participe au " rajeunissement " du château de Rambouillet et du palais de l'Élysée, avec ses amis Louis Süe et Jean-Charles Moreux. Entre 1947 et 1951, il est l'architecte du phare du Planier, au large de Marseille Dans les années 50, il aménage des paquebots, participe à de nombreuses expositions, multiplie les réalisations prestigieuses, publiques et privées. La sculpture a toujours occupé une place importante dans ses meubles et dans ses décors. André Arbus la confie à des artistes amis tels que Vadim Androusov, Henry Parayre, Sylva Bernt.. En 1952, il crée ses premiers meubles-sculptures fondus en bronze. Dès lors, et jusqu'à sa mort, il se consacre à son œuvre de sculpteur. La vie et l'œuvre d'André Arbus sont l'histoire d'une fidélité à la tradition française. Elles sont l'histoire d'une conviction qui revient comme un leitmotiv tout au long de ses écrits, reprenant à son compte les mots de Léonard de Vinci : " l'homme est la mesure des choses "

Summary:
This book is the first monograph on the product designer Ross Lovegrove. Written by the designer himself, with a forward by Paola Antonelli, it presents a complete overview of the designer`s career, featuring realized and unrealized project. While the main texts explains Ross Lovegrove’s philosophy and way of working, the products descriptions reveal the main feature and characteristic of every project. Lovegrove`s work includes a wide range of products from furniture to high-tech products, from water bottles to airplane seats and explores the possibility of realizing sculptural and organic shapes through modern technology and material. In recent years Ross Lovegrove has worked on a design concept that he likes to define as organic essentialism, inspired by elements and aesthetics taken from the natural world and reshaped in futuristic forms. His interest in this sort of new naturalism, which he terms supernatural, is accompanied by research into new materials, new applications and new methods of production. This combination of archetypal inspiration and up to date technology makes him one of the most interesting and unusual figures in the design world.
