A la maison, dans la rue, dans un magasin, partout… nous sommes entourés d’objets et d’images qui sont très souvent le résultat du travail d’un designer. Il y a en effet différents types de design : le design de mobilier, de produits, d’automobile, d’emballage, de graphisme. Ouvrons grands nos yeux ! Après avoir exploré son univers immédiat et découvert à quel point nous sommes entourés d’objets et d’images, l’auteur nous invite à comprendre et à découvrir la réalité de cette discipline. Pourquoi l’homme dessine-t-il des objets ? En quoi le design se différencie de l’art ? Mais alors pourquoi le retrouve-t-on dans des musées ? Qui fait quoi ? Comment travaille un designer ? Dans quelle économie ? Pour qui ? Autant de pistes pour comprendre le monde qui nous entoure, être curieux, aiguiser son sens critique, choisir, être sensible…

Summary:
This is a re-production of a 1920's architectural building toy based on the concepts of Fredrich Froebel. In 1837, naturalist and educator Fredrich Frobel invented kindergarten (or "garden of children") - the concept that children should be nurtured like the new sprouts. Frobel carefully chose materials that allow children to discover properties of geometry and design through play. Since play is at the heart of this method, it is important not to instruct,but rather to allow children to learn through self-activity. Children learn through the impression they form while doing. Because of their playful spirit, children become absorbed by the task at hand. Artists and architects Frank Lloyd Wright, piet Mondrian, Wassily Kandinsky, and Buckminister Fuller used this system.
