Summary:
Robert Earl Paige is one of the most iconic artists and designers from Chicago’s South Side. A multidisciplinary artist and arts educator, he works across textile design, painting, collage, and sculpture. During the 1970s, he brought West African–inspired patterns to U.S. shoppers through the Dakkabar fabrics collection available at Sears, Roebuck, leading to the inclusion of Black culture in home design. In addition to exploring Paige’s personal and artistic practice, through essays by Dr. Romi Crawford and Dr. Gervais Marsh, ''The United Colors of Robert Earl Paige'' contextualizes his work in relation to social and artistic movements, from the minimalism and abstraction of the 1960s and 1970s to AfriCOBRA and the Black Arts Movement in Chicago and across the United States. Published in conjunction with Paige’s exhibition at Hyde Park Art Center in 2024, this fully illustrated book includes reproductions of the artist’s handpainted scarves, collages, and rugs made during the past sixty years, along with new ceramic tiles, collages, and textiles.

Summary:
Hans Wegner’s sophisticated chair designs, paragons of the midcentury-modern style, are beloved and imitated the world over, but scant few are familiar with his masterly watercolors. Wegner often used the medium to finish and finalize the drawings made in his workshop. Although woodworking and watercolor were both increasingly considered traditional in the New Media Age, Wegner’s artistic temperament saw him use both these mediums to boundary-breaking effect in his search for the perfect chair. "Watercolors by Hans J. Wegner" showcases his watercolors in thematic chapters, delving into the artistic dimensions of his design studio. Beyond illustrations of some of his notable chair models, the featured watercolors also highlight his lighting fixtures and complete room designs. They are interpreted by Anne Blond, director of the future Wegner Museum in Denmark and author of Wegner’s biography on the centennial anniversary of his birth in 2014.

« La Fabrique de Pinaffo & Pluvinage », cinquième volume de la collection Prisme, est constitué de plusieurs entretiens menés par Tony Côme avec le duo de designers Marion Pinaffo et Raphaël Pluvinage. Cette publication marque l’ouverture de la collection sur le travail d’une jeune génération de designers récemment diplômés, et permet d’explorer de nouvelles méthodes de travail, à deux ou en groupe. Dans cet entretien, Marion Pinaffo et Raphaël Pluvinage, qui travaillent ensemble depuis 2015, reviennent sur leur rencontre et leur formation à l’Ensci. Ils donnent à voir leur conception d’un design pluridisciplinaire, à la croisée du design d’objet, du design graphique mais aussi du design d’interaction. Ce livre détaille leurs méthodes de travail, leurs sources d’inspiration ainsi que les liens qu’ils ont pu nouer avec des professionnels du monde du design ou d’autres milieux connexes au fil des projets. Illustré avec une quarantaine de photographies couleur, l’ouvrage donne à voir certains exemples représentatifs du travail du duo Pinaffo Pluvinage et intégre des documents d’archive inédits (croquis, outils, prototypes, etc.).

Summary:
Anna Andreeva (1917–2008) was a Soviet textile designer and leading artist at the famous Red Rose Silk Factory in Moscow from 1944 to 1984. The former Giraud silk factory, nationalized in 1919 after the October Revolution and renamed to commemorate the murdered Polish-German socialist revolutionary Rosa Luxemburg, became a site of collective female design labor that shaped the fashion and material culture of late socialism. Andreeva’s spectacular patterns range from abstract and geometric to cosmic and space-age and to pictorial themes of the city of Moscow and Russian folk art. Her mass-produced designs were among the most popular textile prints distributed within the USSR in the 1960s and 1970s.

Peter didn’t know it at the time, but his snapshots of Italy in the ‘80s (with a sidequest to Vienna) were the serendipitous beginning, middle, and end of something big. ''Peter Shire’s Grand Tour'' pairs candid pictures with personal interludes to trace the heady, unpolished brilliance of a movement before it knew what it was. With the unwitting eye of a tourist-turned-historian, Peter’s camera captured it all—from Caravaggio at the Uffizi to storefronts of women’s lingerie shops and beautiful sunsets, alongside rogue selfies and a cast of Memphis Group legends including Ettore Sottsass, Alessandro Mendini, and Matteo Thun.

Their work rethinks design by focusing not on function but on the intrinsic nature of shape: "How does a hole behave?

A hole inside a hole? … Is it the matter that surrounds it, or its constitutive void?". The book is structured into four elemental themes the Hole, the Triangle, the Jonc doucine, and the Dissonance and is framed by their provocative Abstract Design Manifesto, revealing the conceptual backbone of their work. This publication is more than a catalog; it marks their first major presentation following their recognition as laureates of the Audi Talents Awards.
