Résumé:
Fondé en 1928 par le grand architecte et designer milanais Gio Ponti qui voulait en faire un «journal vivant», domus a été salué comme le magazine d’architecture et de design le plus influent au monde. Alliant style et rigueur, il a traité en profondeur des thèmes et évolutions de style majeurs en matière de design industriel, de produit, de structure et d’intérieur. Dans cette nouvelle réédition des tous les numéros des années 1960, le magazine suit les merveilleux projets audacieux et pratiques d’une décennie grisée par le frisson futuriste et l’explosion de la pop culture. Synthétiques et plastiques font leur entrée sur scène, entraînant un design radicalement nouveau, alors que les notions conventionnelles d’élégance laissent la place à des formes expérimentales inédites. Pour qu’une œuvre figure dans le magazine, elle devait allier fonctionnalité, clarté spatiale, persuasion intellectuelle, originalité pertinente et/ou beauté. Parmi les projets et professionnels retenus figurent les mouvements d’anti-design et de design radical, Ray et Charles Eames, Gae Aulenti, Kenzo Tange, Verner Panton, Achill et Pier Giacomo Castiglioni, Ettore Sottsass, Carlo Scarpa, Angelo Mangiarotti, Cesare Maria Casati et Eero Saarinen.

Résumé:
In 1938, Vienna lost its best and most creative minds. This rupture was manifested in all of the arts and sciences and its mark is felt to this day – not least in the field of furniture design. With inexhaustible creativity the Jewish furniture designers who were forced to flee Vienna continued to work while in exile. They taught at the best universities and spread their ideas and vision throughout the entire world. Their creations became classics of twentieth-century furniture design, the epitome of mid-century modern style. This book honors the memory of the exiled designers with a thorough overview of their work. It details their life stories and their visionary designs, which remain as relevant and contemporary as ever, and brings to light new aspects of the history of Viennese furniture design.

Résumé:
Métal contre bois, industrie contre artisanat, équipement contre décoration, peuple contre élite. La création de l'Union des artistes modernes (UAM), en 1929, par René Herbst, Francis Jourdain, Robert Mallet-Stevens, Hélène Henry et Raymond Templier, est souvent présentée comme une scission des "modernes" contre les "anciens", réunis au sein de la Société des artistes décorateurs (Sad). Ces modernes, auxquels se joindront Pierre Chareau, Eileen Gray, Le Corbusier, les frères Martel, Charlotte Perriand, Jean Prouvé et bien d'autres, militent pour un art fonctionnaliste, sans ornement, destiné au plus grand nombre. Ils auraient tourné le dos aux Décorateurs et à l'artisanat de luxe, incarné par l'Exposition internationale des arts décoratifs et industriels modernes de 1925, pour créer un mouvement en phase avec les besoins de leur époque.

Résumé:
This volume shows how postwar designers embraced whimsy and eclecticism in their work, exploring playfulness as an essential construct of modernity. Following World War II, Americans began accumulating more and more goods, spurring a transformation in the field of interior decoration. Storage walls became ubiquitous, often serving as a home's centerpiece. Designers such as Alexander Girard encouraged homeowners to populate their new shelving units with folk art, as well as unconventional and modern objects, to produce innovative and unexpected juxtapositions within modern architectural settings. Playfulness can be seen in the colorful, child-sized furniture by Charles and Ray Eames, who also produced toys. And in the postwar corporate world, the concept of play is manifested in the influential advertising work of Paul Rand.

Résumé:
This wide-ranging survey showcases and analyzes the work of dozens of Modernist designers, from those who established the International Style in the 1920s and ‘30s through the groundbreaking practitioners of the mid-1940s. Modernism, with its powerful aesthetic and compelling philosophical framework, is the twentieth century’s most defining movement in design and the applied arts. International architects and designers such as Alvar Aalto, Marcel Breuer, Eileen Gray, Le Corbusier, Ludwig Mies van der Rohe, and Frank Lloyd Wright revolutionized the built world and how we live in it. Their work rejected historical precedents, prioritizing function over tradition, and their experimentation with new forms, materials, and techniques transformed our living spaces and lifestyles and fundamentally changed the way we think about design.
