Summary:
This publication is based on the principle that the most innovative design ideas are probably not the ones passing through patent offices. Functioning as a visual dictionary of everyday ingenuity and self-sufficiency, and spanning Northern Europe and the Mediterranean, it catalogues inspiring examples of the creative repurposing of detritus, and of overlooked land, by ordinary people — whether for reasons of subsistence, politics or sheer artistry. Thus, a flowerpot and a section of a fence become an improvised barbeque; a tree stump on a sidewalk is carved into a makeshift one-seater. The innovations are classified as either "objects" or "actions," demonstrating a decentralized but palpable European movement conscious of avoiding waste. The book features an essay by the artist and designer Daniele Pario Perra, who in 2001 began the Design on the Cheap database.

Un héritage que les designers ont bien compris qui, d'Andrée Putman à Philippe Starck, les redessinent dans leur fonctionnalité.

Summary:
"Crafting Modernism: Mid-century American Art and Design" will provide an in-depth examination of the American studio craft movement in general, with detailed analyses of all of the major mediums (clay, wood, fibre, metal, jewellery, and glass) favoured by the greatest craftsmen of the period. Both an exhibition catalogue and an historical reference, "Crafting Modernism" explores the origins of the studio craft movement, the international influences that helped it grow in this country and abroad and its convergence with the fine arts. The post-war years were a time of particular importance for the studio movement as a new generation of craftsmen began to express cultural identity and artistic innovation as well as provide social commentary through their work in all media, which led to the proliferation of the craft movement to museums and exhibitions worldwide. Artists represented in this book include Anni Albers, Dale Chihuly, Hans Christensen, Charles and Ray Eames, Sheila Hicks, Wharton Esherick, Maurice Heaton, Dorothy Liebes, Sam Maloof, George Nakashima, Gertrud and Otto Natzler, Peter Voulkos and Russel Wright, among many others. "Crafting Modernism" is the fourth instalment of the Centenary Project begun in 1993 by the Museum of Art and Design to explore the origins and development of twentieth-century American crafts. New research has made this exhibit and book possible, exploring the rediscovery and reinvigoration of craft media in the post-war years.

Summary:
In February 1956 the president of IBM hired the industrial designer and architect Eliot F. Noyes, charging him with reinventing IBM's corporate image, from stationery and curtains to products such as typewriters and computers and to laboratory and administration buildings. What followed remade IBM in a way that would also transform the relationships between design, computer science, and corporate culture. IBM's program assembled a cast of leading figures in American design: Noyes, Charles Eames, Paul Rand, George Nelson, and Edgar Kaufmann Jr. The Interface offers a detailed account of the key role these designers played in shaping both the computer and the multinational corporation. Harwood describes the influence of computer and corporation on the theory and practice of design. Here we see how, in the period stretching from the "invention" of the computer during World War II to the appearance of the personal computer in the mid-1970s, disciplines once well outside the realm of architectural design -information and management theory, cybernetics, ergonomics, computer science- became integral aspects of design.

Summary:
Cet ouvrage, présentant des descriptions aussi savoureuses qu’érudites de différents meubles urbains, séduira l’esprit méthodique des chercheurs professionnels et des amateurs éclairés comme la curiosité vagabonde des promeneurs urbains ; ceci tant par le soin méticuleux présidant à l’établissement de la véracité scientifique que par la mobilisation des différents sous-champs historiques qui charpentent chacune de ses lignes. Seuls pourraient être troublés les professionnels des plantes à fibres car ils ne trouveront ici nul chloroplaste ni étamine. Et pourtant la description envoûtante de l’hybride mupi (genre Monitor, chapitre 10) ou celle de la variété tropicale de l’Hydra terminalis umida (genre Hydra, chapitre 3) saura les séduire par un sentiment de familiarité a priori peu évident.
