Paola Lenti: weaving spaces
$70.00
(available in store)
Summary:
“This book describes the interweaving of colours that mix with the principles of perspective, of form that interacts with the eye, of light that blends with the shades of materials. But above all it describes a design, a project made of the stuff of dreams, in which skilled hands have given geometric precision, shape, proportion, concrete essence to the visible.”

Récit de l’histoire du jouet français depuis son berceau, le Jura, cet ouvrage nous rappelle des jouets et des marques fétiches de notre enfance. Retraçant l’émergence, et le développement incroyable d’une industrie qui a indéniablement marqué l’histoire du jouet français, c’est aussi tout un état d’esprit d’entreprise Hautjurassien qui est mis en valeur. Encouragé par des ressources hydrauliques et sylvicoles abondantes, le Jura développera pendant de nombreux siècles une tradition de travail du bois dont les jouets deviendront un des modes d’expression privilégié. Les hochets, les jouets d’adresse (yoyo, osselets, billes...) et les poupées feront partie des premiers objets. Leurs fonctions seront d’éveiller et d’amuser l’enfant, et de le préparer au passage vers l’âge adulte.
