Summary:
Stickers have become an essential element of contemporary street art used by the most underground of artists. With stickers, anyone can plant their flag, gain notoriety, recognition and attain instant coverage while the action itself is inconspicuous. This book documents the best submissions from the first international sticker awards which have been established to record this constantly evolving movement. Low-tech and prepared in advance, stickers are made from a multitude of materials and techniques from hand, photocopies, posters and wheat pastes to walls. From drainpipes and crosswalk boxes to street signs and walls, stickers can be found almost anywhere at eye level on public surfaces blending into and becoming part of the streets. Motifs vary from scribbles and characters to intricate figurative images, often personal logos or tags functioning as trademarks. Stickers have created a revolution in communication – proving to be effective tools in establishing dialog, inspiring reaction and feature messages that are subversive, fun and often cryptic. This extensive volume presents over 800 examples from around the world and includes 2 pages of award winning real stickers for the reader’s enjoyment.

Summary:
From 1941 to 1964, House Beautiful magazine’s crusading editor-in-chief Elizabeth Gordon introduced and promoted her vision of 'good design' and 'better living' to an extensive middle-class American readership. Her innovative magazine-sponsored initiatives, including House Beautiful’s Pace Setter House Program and the Climate Control Project, popularized a 'livable' and decidedly American version of postwar modern architecture. Gordon’s devotion to what she called the American Style attracted the attention of Frank Lloyd Wright, who became her ally and collaborator. Gordon’s editorial programs reshaped ideas about American living and, by extension, what consumers bought, what designers made, and what manufacturers brought to market. This incisive assessment of Gordon’s influence as an editor, critic, and arbiter of domestic taste reflects more broadly on the cultures of consumption and identity in postwar America. Nearly 200 images are featured, including work by Ezra Stoller, Maynard Parker, and Julius Shulman. This book champions an often-neglected source - the consumer magazine - as a key tool for deepening our understanding of mid-century architecture and design.

Summary:
Le design Scandinave du XXe siècle privilégie le fonctionnel et le pratique et recherche la simplicité dans un esprit de démocratisation. Cela est vrai du design du XXe siècle en général, mais le style Scandinave a quelque chose de plus. Ces créations témoignent souvent d'un parfait équilibre entre l'aptitude des humains à l'abstraction et la vitalité organique de la nature. Elles sont discrètement fonctionnelles et d'une beauté inoubliable. Une inspiration puisée dans la nature, la primauté accordée à son chez-soi et au bien-être domestique, une tradition artisanale bien vivante, et un regard pratique sur le design ont présidé au développement et à l'immense succès international, toujours renouvelé, de ce style.

Summary:
1940-1949: Destruction and Reconstruction. This volume covers the 1940s, when fascism came to a climax and World War II led to the extensive destruction of Europe. But the second half of this decade was also a time of reconstruction, democratization, and the related search for new social values. Unlike in Nazi Germany, in fascist Italy Modernism was able to advance in architecture and design - as proved impressively by the buildings and designs by Carlo Mollino, Gian Luigi Banfi, Franco Albini, and Giuseppe Terragni that are documented herein. After the war, Organic Design emerged alongside the International style. This edition reflects upon the economic, social, and cultural problems of the time, but also shows how the force of the avant-garde continued to thrive in Italy, Switzerland, Scandinavia and the USA. Reports and features on modern industrial design and furniture, as well as domestic and business interiors stand side by side with articles about novel prefabricated houses
