Summary:
Ekuan reads the Japanese lunchbox as both object and metaphor. It is one of this book's many charms that he is able to see it as both simultaneously. He compares the visual pleasures of the Zen lunchbox to an aerial view of the Japanese archipelago; he invites us to savor its quadripartite structure as we savour the four seasons. In so doing, he unlocks the secrets of ancient Japanese rituals, celebrates the aesthetics of Japanese design, explores the contours of Japanese landscapes and technology, and delineates the forty-eight rules of the etiquette of Japanese form.

Summary:
"Design Culture Now" is the first survey of American design to cut across the disciplines of architecture, product design, and graphic design. This comprehensive work, organized by the Smithsonian's National Design Museum, catalogues the best in architecture, interiors, environments, landscapes, products, furniture, fashion, objects, typefaces, posters, publications, film graphics, and interactive media produced over the last three years. Organized around a series of themes -- Branded, Fluid, Local, Minimal, Narrative, Physical, Reclaimed, and Unbelievable -- "Design Culture Now" presents current projects by up-and-coming designers who are forging new ideas at the margins of the profession as well as established masters whose work continues to evolve. Some of the over 80 individuals and firms whose work is repre-sented include Kyle Cooper, who created the titles for the films "Seven", "The Mummy", and "Mission: Impossible"; graphic designers Bruce Mau and Stefan Sagmeister; Jonathan Ive, designer of the iMac; style guru Martha Stewart; Arlen and Cory Ness, customizers of Harley-Davidson motorcycles; Julie Taymor, director and designer of the Broadway musical "The Lion King"; architects Neil Denari and Frank Gehry; Dante Ferretti, art director of the films Kundun and Casino; fashion designers Kate Spade and Geoffrey Beene; and John Kricfalusi, creator of the cartoon "Ren & Stimpy". Authoritative essays by Donald Albrecht, Ellen Lupton, and Steven Skov Holt describe the state of design at the beginning of the new millennium. Vibrantly designed, this exhaustive survey includes hundreds of full-colour images.

Summary:
L'architecture intérieure moderne est née au début du XXe siècle, sous l'influence de pionniers comme Elsie de Wolfe, Syrie Maugham et Jean-Michel Frank. Ces décorateurs formèrent le goût de leur époque, suivis par d'autres, qui marquèrent de leur empreinte le style du XXe siècle. "Décorateurs d'intérieurs" révèle l'histoire et les évolutions de cette forme artistique, en étudiant la vie et l'œuvre de célèbres décorateurs européens et américains. Le texte de Suzanne Trocmé met en lumière les différentes philosophies adoptées par ces créateurs - notamment au travers d'entretiens exclusifs qui lui ont été accordés par nombre d'entre eux. Qu'il s'agisse des propos passionnants de feu David Hicks, tenus lors d'une interview donnée juste avant sa mort, ou des conceptions audacieuses de Philippe Starck, ce livre regorge d'anecdotes et de citations, et apporte un éclairage sur les créations et les sources d'inspiration de chaque décorateur. Les grands ancêtres du design moderne, tels John Fowler et Nancy Lancaster, qui ont tant contribué à l'avènement des styles d'aujourd'hui, ne sont pas oubliés. Avec ses 180 photographies.
