Summary:
Publication en lien avec l'exposition Nirvana: les étranges formes du plaisir présentée au Mudac (Musée de design et d’arts appliqués contemporains de Lausanne), du 29 octobre 2014 au 26 avril 2015. L’ambition de l’exposition est d’observer l’esthétique du plaisir et ses influences sur le design, la mode et l’art contemporain. Troublants ou séduisants, les vêtements, bijoux, accessoires ou pièces de mobilier exposés et étudiés dans les différents textes de l’ouvrage révèlent aussi bien la richesse des formes utilisées que l’érudition de ceux qui les ont imaginées. Il s’agit d’une véritable étude scientifique. Les travaux de plus de 100 artistes et designers internationaux seront représentés et étudiés par des spécialistes du design, historiens de l’art, sociologues et historiens de la mode. Un livre richement illustré, qui met en valeur la présence du sexe dans les objets les plus simples comme les plus excentriques.

Summary:
"1968: Radical Italian Design", the newest project from Maurizio Cattelan and Pierpaolo Ferrari's Toilet Paper in collaboration with the Deste Foundation in Athens, offers an unorthodox, kaleidoscopic walk through the Dakis Joannou collection of Italian Radical Design furniture. Led by avant-garde design firms such as Archizoom, Superstudio, Global Tools and 9999, Radical Design was firmly opposed to the ethics, and indeed the very notion of, "good design" or taste. Toilet Paper's bold, mischievous interpretation of Joannou's collection results in delightful, high-contrast photographs that merge the seductive lines of Radical Design furniture and objects with the curves of the modern-day nymphs cavorting among them. Published as a board book, and named after a year that was pivotal for architecture and design (and, of course, the world at large), "1968" is a collection of dreams and nightmares, an inspiring, eye-popping compendium of colorful, ironic objects and bodies. At once charmingly retro and alarmingly surreal, 1968 includes drawings by one of the Radical Design movement's foremost architects, Alessandro Mendini.
