Summary:
Autour de dix thèmes et projets, le designer Suisse Frédéric Dedelley illustre le cheminement d'une image, depuis sa découverte dans la vie de tous les jours jusqu'à sa matérialisation en un nouvel objet, en passant par son archivage et sa transformation. Cet ouvrage montre ce qui constitue l'essence de la création : observer, remarquer. Il nous apprend à voir d'autres images que celles montrées par les médias et nous incite à constituer une photothèque qui servira de point de départ pour nos projets personnels. Source d'inspiration et guide pour les designers, ce livre permet de jeter un regard sur la manière de travailler d'un professionnel chevronné. Un texte de la journaliste et designer Ariana Pradal et un index fourni nous en disent un peu plus sur le designer célèbre qu'est Frédéric Dedelley.

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:
Designer et artiste inclassable, Pucci de Rossi (1947-2013) a été un pilier de la scène artistique européenne des années 1980. Originaire de Vérone et formé auprès du sculpteur américain H.B. Walker, Pucci de Rossi réalise ses premières pièces en assemblant du mobilier en bois récupéré pour fabriquer des formes étranges et instables, entre trône et machine à remonter le temps. « Mon métier était un jeu pour moi, raconte-t-il, je découpais, je faisais, j’inventais. » Ses premières créations, empreintes de poésie et d’humour, renvoient tout autant au minimalisme de l’Arte Povera qu’au néobaroque du studio Memphis.
