Summary:
Réédition largement augmentée de l'édition de 2003, cette monographie revient sur le parcours de Roger Capron (1922-2006), seul céramiste français de son époque qui ait à la fois accompli une importante oeuvre artistique et fondé une entreprise individuelle de premier plan. Après avoir suivi l'enseignement du décorateur René Gabriel, Capron crée en 1946 avec Robert Picault l'atelier de céramique Callis à Vallauris participant à la renaissance de la céramique, faisant du beau à la portée de tous. Apparaissent à cette époque les formes et représentations emblématiques de son travail : branchages, personnages stylisés, soleils et motifs géométriques. En 1952, il rachète une poterie désaffectée et commence son aventure industrielle en fabriquant carreaux émaillés, mobilier d'appoint et panneaux décoratifs. A la fin des années 50, la commande d'une fresque de 300 m2 pour la gare maritime de Cannes lui fait découvrir la céramique architecturale qu'il mettra en oeuvre dans d'autres productions telles que la piste de danse en grès de l'hôtel Byblos de Saint Tropez. Enfin dans les années 80, Capron aborde un travail nouveau avec des pièces uniques proches de la sculpture. Basée sur le texte original de Pierre Staudenmeyer, cette version est enrichie par des des focus thématiques et un entretien exclusif entre Jacotte Capron, veuve de l'artiste, et Flavien Gaillard, spécialiste des arts décoratifs du XXe siècle, ainsi que par un répertoire de formes enrichi vient compléter la monographie.

Architecte et créatrice de mobilier, figure majeure de l’histoire de la modernité, Charlotte Perriand (1903–1999) a consacré sa vie à l’art d’habiter. Partageant les idées de Le Corbusier, avec lequel elle a longtemps collaboré, elle a néanmoins développé sa propre vision, affirmant son statut de créatrice dans un monde de créateurs. Sensible à la cause des femmes et au sort des plus démunis, elle s’est attachée à rendre accessibles au plus grand nombre des objets beaux, utiles et fonctionnels qui sont devenus des icônes du design du xxe siècle.

Summary:
Not many designers are as well organized as Ed Annink and so apt to leave things to chance at the same time. He arranges combinations of constraints and designs products and exhibitions from there onwards. As a design teacher he handles the same principle. His focus is to let students experience and develop their personal design process. Ed Annink distinguishes himself by the width of his scope. He designs on the run as it were and the objects he creates seem to be of minor importance among the ideas and activities that surround them. Some products take less than a minute to come alive. He can be sketching ideas about material qualities, production, use and image without having a particular functionality in mind and seeks to minimize effort for everyone involved, the producer, the person who makes the product, the one who sells it and the user too. As a teacher he may be maximizing the effort his students must make in order for them to discover what it means to be a designer. This monography, written by Ida van Zijl, Gert Staal, Schwartz and Ed van Hinte (ed.) and including interviews with, among others, commissioners from VITRA and Authentics, describes and analyses Annink's work as an exhibition and product designer, an educator and a project initiator.
