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:
Hugo Alvar Henrik Aalto (1898-1976), the most important Finnish architect of the twentieth century, was also one of the most noteworthy modern furniture designers. His complete system of furniture-including stools, chairs, armchairs, and tea trolley with oversized wheels, all characterized by curving lines-was considered exemplary and acquired by the New York Museum of Modern Art as early as 1938. In collaboration with his first wife Aino Marsio (1894-1949), he also designed organic, floral forms in glass. His legendary Savoy Vase of 1936, created for the hotel of the same name, and the group of bowls designed to be combined to form the "Aalto Flower" have often been compared to sculptures and paintings of Classical Modernism. This extensive publication presents the pioneering furniture, glass objects, and lamps of Alvar and Aino Aalto in a large selection of photographs, paintings, drawings, and sketches. Texts by Björn Egging, Thomas Kellein.

Summary:
This book, devoted to the contributions of the Austro-American artist and architect Friedrich Kiesler to the field of design, presents previously unpublished material relating to his innovative furniture designs and prototypes from the 1930s and 1940s. Letters, diary entries, and photographs document the New York cultural environment in which Friedrich Kiesler lived and worked and illuminate the role he played in the contemporary design scene. After emigrating to New York in 1925, Kiesler soon became an important mediator between European and American positions in the fields of design and architecture. In the ensuing years, he designed furniture and exhibitions and articulated the fundamental principles of a critical theory of functional architecture and design. Such concepts as flexibility, dynamism, and multifunctionality were crucial elements of his theoretical constructs. With an introduction by Monika Pessler, texts by Tulga Beyerle, Harald Krejci, and a preface by Dieter Bogner and Heinz F. Hofer-Wittmann.

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.
