Summary:
Le XXe siècle a presque canonisé la place occupée par le décorateur, personnalité chargée d'orchestrer les décors des demeures élégantes et leurs aménagements intérieurs, jusque dans les plus infimes détails. Aussi ancrée soit-elle de nos jours, cette activité du décorateur émerge et se cristallise au cours du XIXe siècle, avec des personnalités originales comme Eugène Lami ou Antoine Zoegger. Elles rivalisent avec les architectes qui, à l'instar de Duban et Viollet-le-Duc, reste encore largement maîtres du décor, influencés par la redécouverte des styles des siècles antérieurs. Le décorateur parachève, par la distribution des pièces, le choix des couleurs, l'emplacement du mobilier et l'exposition de collections d'objets d'art, l'affirmation d'un style propre aux élites européennes, les Rothschild en tête. À la fin du XIXe siècle, les mouvements d'avant-garde soulignent le rôle joué par le décor intérieur, renouveau du cadre de vie permettant un ressourcement humain. De Félix Duban à Henry Van de Velde, d'Antoine Zoegger à George Niedecken, ces dessins de décors intérieurs contribuent à l'histoire du goût.

Summary:
Today’s home is filled with pieces from Pottery Barn, IKEA, and Crate & Barrel, and we pore over glossy catalogs in hopes of achieving the “modern interior.” This idealized aesthetic is the subject of Penny Sparke’s study, as she explores the style in both its absolute form and the diverse decorating approaches seen in the contemporary home. The shift from Victorian to modern style, The Modern Interior reveals, was not as simple and smooth as it is often perceived and the book probes the complicated history behind that transition. Sparke examines the work of such designers as Marcel Breuer, Frank Lloyd Wright, Charles and Ray Eames, and Mies van der Rohe, and draws upon design examples from the United States and Europe to reveal that, unlike the designed exteriors of buildings and institutions, the idea of the “interior” has been a largely abstract conception promoted through exhibitions, retail stores, and mass media. A comprehensive and in-depth investigation of the design environments we live and play in, The Modern Interior will be essential reading for all scholars and interested observers of architecture and modern design culture.

Summary:
This handsome book explores the recent use of figurative characteristics in the design arts. Through digital literacy and enhanced fabrication techniques, this avant-garde movement has reintroduced hybrids of methods and ideologies that were once considered too ornamental in character or too handcrafted for the 20th-century minimalist design lexicon. Both large urban-scale architecture and the small domestic realm of design are employing this avant-garde vocabulary formally and figuratively in the terms of shapes and surfaces that evoke trees, tornadoes, parasols, photography, death, illness, food, music, and sensuality.
