Summary:
The esteemed collectors Laurence and Patrick Seguin first discovered the work of Jean Prouvé in the late 1980s, and were quick to embrace his entire aesthetic vision, from architectural design to furniture. "There is no difference between constructing a piece of furniture and constructing a building," Prouvé once famously said, and the Seguins have modeled their collection around his stance, becoming major advocates and disseminators of his work in France. This book, which presents the Seguins' Prouvé collection for the first time, consequently provides a comprehensive overview of their holdings.

Summary:
Cet ouvrage questionne une histoire récente du design où la notion d’ornement se donne au cœur de nouvelles logiques de conception et de production. Avec l’avènement du numérique et la redéfinition du rôle de l’ornement, la forme ornementale se donne à présent dans une dimension calculée de morphogenèse : sa dynamique s’ancre dans les processus de croissance de la nature. Dans toutes ces réalisations, la dimension générative de la nature a conféré à l’ornement un rôle structurel nouveau. S'appuyant sur une sélection d'œuvres de plus de cinquante artistes, , quatre essais (Marie-Ange Brayer, Spyros Papapetros, Martine Dancer-Mourès et Sophie Fétro), nous donnent à lire et comprendre, l'évolution du design et de l'ornement, à l'ère du numérique. / This volume presents a new narrative of design, situated somewhere between plant life and ornament, nature and artifice. Through essays by several authors it explores the ornament’s role with respect to morphogenesis, by which the object is continually transformed through an evolving dynamic of forms. With the arrival of the digital age, the ornament’s role in design has been greatly modified. No longer a simple motif, it is used as an animated form. At the intersection of information sciences and biology, designers utilise 3D printing to create carefully calculated objects based on organic growth. With contributions by Spyros Papapetros, Marie-Ange Brayer, and others.

Summary:
Welcome to the 50th issue of The Funambulist. For the very first time, the magazine is published both in its original anglophone version and a brand new francophone edition. As such, it is not innocent that this issue tackles the question of language. The achievements of a generation of activists and politically committed intellectuals to have our (anticolonial, antiracist, queer, feminist, among others) nomenclature surge into public imaginaries, has led to a dilution of this vocabulary’s political meanings. Each contribution of this issue thus proposes a subjective definition of a such a term, the issue acting like a useful glossary to reflect on our struggles.
