Summary:
In focusing on creating preferable conditions, the discipline of design is optimistic by default. And yet, vernacular manifestations of skepticism, dissatisfaction and even resentment toward design abound. Instead of systematically discarding them, can these "sad passions" shed a valuable light on the blind spots of the field? Can disillusion be something more than(...)

Summary:
In focusing on creating preferable conditions, the discipline of design is optimistic by default. And yet, vernacular manifestations of skepticism, dissatisfaction and even resentment toward design abound. Instead of systematically discarding them, can these "sad passions" shed a valuable light on the blind spots of the field? Can disillusion be something more than disillusionment? Can it become an emotional method to unveil design’s dysfunctions and contradictions? Author Silvio Lorusso looks into historical and present manifestations of design disillusion to shorten the gap between expectations and reality when it comes to the everyday practice of designers. Using humorous and irreverent visuals, often containing jokes about design, Lorusso constructs thoughtful dichotomies on such topics as synthesis and autonomy, power and impotence, and aspirations and compromise. The result is an amusing yet academic consideration of the design profession and its future.

Summary:
Depuis quelques années, des objets étranges ont fait leur apparition dans le monde du design, des objets dysfonctionnels, énigmatiques, compliqués, qui mettent en crise les catégories du projet, des objets, de la fonction au profit des processus, des explorations, des déviations. Ces objets relèvent d'une posture que les designers anglais Anthony Dunne et Fiona Raby ont défini Critical Design (design critique) : un design spéculatif, réflexif, qui ne veut pas proposer des solutions, mais plutôt poser des questions, qui veut défier les affirmations rapides, les préjugés et lieux communs sur le rôle des produits dans la vie de tous les jours. Un design qui ne se veut pas affirmatif, c'est-à-dire soumis aux impératifs des systèmes de pouvoir, mais au contraire critique. A partir de ces quatre moments saillants que sont le design radical italien de la fin des années 1960 et 1970, le design conceptuel néerlandais des années 1990, le critical design anglais des années 2000 et enfin la scène contemporaine, notamment en France, cet ouvrage montre comment ce strange design n'est pas tant un style qu'une posture critique qui ne cesse d'irriguer le champ du design.

Addressing works by designers including Jurgen Bey, Tord Boontje, Dunne + Raby and Studio Job, Gareth Williams explores how overtly functional objects - 'designed' objects - can be made to carry meanings and associations, or tell tales. As contemporary design practice, the art market and art itself become more and more integrated, reflecting the merging of art, craft and design, this exciting book offers a valuable and perceptive assessment of our ability to read Design Art objects with the critical tools traditionally associated with painting, sculpture and literary theory.

Working with ordinary, everyday, practical, seemingly design(er)less objects has been Franco Clivio’s obsession both as a university lecturer and as a practicing designer. Each object in the collection stands for an unconventional, unconstrained, and sometimes unique solution to a problem that is often simple but always fundamental; fundamental in the sense of a design that places less emphasis on good form than on perfect function.
