Summary:
Patterns - bold, colorful, muted, delicate, intricate, splashy, spare, figurative, abstract, dizzying, calming - are the subject in this comprehensive reference, the first to examine pattern as an essential part of twentieth-century design history. With stunning color plates and lively text, Lesley Jackson takes readers on a tour of the development of twentieth-century patterns from around the world. Organized by decade, "Twentieth-Century pattern design" details the technical innovations that affected the development of modern textiles and wallpapers. Focusing on surface pattern in the home, Jackson draws frequent parallels to the worlds of fashion, packaging, and graphics, and explores the interrelationship between painting and pattern design. The result is a book as inspiring as it is informative. "Twentieth-Century pattern design" is an invaluable resource for modern design enthusiasts and historians, collectors and interior and graphic designers.

Summary:
"Skin" presents products, furniture, fashion, architecture, and media that are expanding the limits of what we understand as surface. Reflecting the convergence of natural and artificial life, it shows how enhanced and simulated skins appear throughout the contemporary environment. Designers today continually manipulate the relationship between the inside and outside of objects, garments, and buildings, creating skins that both reveal and conceal, skins that have depth, complexity and their own behaviours and identities. "Skin" features the work of such notable designers and architects as Greg Lynn, Petra Blaise, SPEEDO, Morphosis, Ross Lovegrove, Marcel Wanders, and many others. It also contains essays on artificial skin, digital surfaces, and a glossary of surface materials.

Summary:
From an i-MAC computer to a Karim Rashid trashcan to a Philippe Starck stool to an Issey Miyake coat to a Frank Gehry building, design shapes our sense of being in today's world. "Mood River" examines the cornucopia of objects that form the complex visual fabric of our lives, titillate our senses, modulate our moods, and pique our desires. By scanning contemporary art and design, and loosely organizing thousands of sundry objects into four categories of moods--Bliss, Ecstasy, Rage, and Trauma--"Mood River" aims to arouse a deep respect for the complex economic, technical, and aesthetic processes that join the diverse elements of our material life into that most elusive of unities: a world. Essays by Jeffrey Kipnis, Sanford Kwinter, Annetta Massie, Chee Perlman and Jose Oubrerie. Foreword by Philip Johnson. Introduction by Sherri Geldin.

Summary:
From the Studebaker and the Slinky(r) to the TWA terminal and paintings by Willem de Kooning and Mark Rothko, 1940 to 1960 was a compelling era for the arts in America. Artists and designers responded to the atomic-age anxieties of the postwar period with "vital" forms-organic imagery and biomorphic shapes based on nature. These forms proliferated during the optimism of the late '40s and '50s prosperity, in Tupperware(r) and the Hula Hoop as well as Eames chairs and Calder mobiles. Examining visual arts from an interdisciplinary perspective, "Vital Forms" focuses on the development and ascendancy of organic imagery. Essays placing the works in historical context are by Paul Boyer, Martin Filler, Mildred Friedman, and Karal Ann Marling.

Summary:
Exhibiton in the Arnhem museum of modern art in the Netherlands from June 25th - September 11th 2005. It is quite unusual for a company to use the occasion of its 100th birthday to invite no less than twelve designers to react to its products, production system and image and think about that company's future in their own particular way. Dutch furniture producer Arco did just that. Its director, Willem van Ast, felt the need to do so, as his firm owes its very existence to commissioning designers from outside, something it has done since the 1970s. The project has acted as a perfect mirror for Arco itself in the shape of interesting and valuable designs, as well as eliciting a range of clear signatures from twelve talented Dutch designers, most of whom now enjoy a solid reputation on the international platform.

Publiés entre 1937 et 1960, les 18 portfolios «Ensembles mobiliers» constituent un irremplaçable témoignage sur la création décorative française de l'après Art déco. Créés par Charles Moreau, ils tinrent la chronique annuelle des tendances et des nouveautés présentées principalement au Salon des artistes décorateurs et au Salon des arts ménagers. Cette réédition intégrale témoigne de l'extraordinaire vitalité des décorateurs français de cette période. On y redécouvre l'Art déco traditionaliste des Ruhlmann, Groult et Follot, les créations minimalistes des Chareau, Le Corbusier, Perriand, Herbst et Mallet-Stevens, le néoclassicisme d'Arbus, Du Plantier et Poillerat. On y trouve également les fantaisies de Royère, l'élégance des Dupré-Lafon, Drouet et Pascaud, les fabrications en série, souvent issues des ateliers d'art des grands magasins, de Matégot, Guiguichon ou encore les survivants de l'Art déco, Leleu, Dominique, Adnet, Jollot et leurs épigones, Pré, Rinck, Raphaël ou Old.
