Résumé:
Originating as a rebellious movement in philosophy and literature, Postmodernism proclaimed the death of modernism and promoted a new, nonlinear way of approaching architecture and design, spearheaded by Michael Graves, Robert Venturi, Ettore Sottsass, and Alessandro Mendini. It became a style in itself and the defining look of the 1980s. Postmodern Design Complete is the comprehensive reference to this period of vibrant design, as it profiles key creators including Graves, Mendini, Sottsass, Venturi, Charles Jencks, and Denise Scott Brown and covers the fields of architecture, furniture, graphic design, textiles, and product and industrial design.

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:
C'est dans une situation pleine de paradoxes qu'une scène du design se développe au Liban dès 2000, et se voit rapidement saluée par les critiques, les foires et l'ensemble des acteurs de la branche. Consciente d’un positionnement unique, entre héritage occidental et identité orientale, un pied sur la Méditerranée, l'autre posé en Asie, Beyrouth construit son design et transforme son multiculturalisme en une force créatrice. Le présent ouvrage analyse cette situation spécifique qui associe simultanément reconstruction économique et architecturale, conscience sociale et développement international. Jusqu'à l'élaboration de ce projet d'exposition et de publication, aucune étude n'avait été conduite sur l'histoire du design au Liban, soit de l'indépendance du pays en 1943 à nos jours. Cet ouvrage a l'ambition de combler cette lacune en présentant un état de la question bâti sur une documentation riche, tout en assumant certaines parties lacunaires dues à la disparition de pans entiers d'archives durant et après la guerre civile. Cette recherche s'appuie également sur une étude du contexte sociopolitique et culturel qui a contribué à faire aujourd'hui de Beyrouth une ville créative, et ce, malgré un contexte fréquemment troublé.

Résumé:
Thomas, a museum curator, delves deeply into the rich design history of the Netherlands, beginning with the historical roots of Dutch crafts education and the moral and social ideals of modernism that became central to the nation’s cultural dialogue. Touching upon such issues as the emergence of the professional industrial designer, public work initiatives, debates about design as art, and the provocative notion of “anti-design,” Thomas argues that though Dutch design from the beginning has been driven by aims of functionality, simplicity, and affordability, it has also embraced luxury and exclusivity. The book also discusses the role played by leading Dutch designers and their works, including Wim Crouwel, Marcel Wanders, and the design collective Droog Design. An unprecedented, detailed history, Dutch Design Culture is a critical primer on one of the leading national design movements today.

Résumé:
Reaching an apogee of 6,000 members in the years just before the Civil War, the Shaker movement was the most extensive, enduring, and successful utopian society ever established in America. Leaving Manchester, England, in 1776 to avoid persecution, the Shakers crossed the Atlantic and during the next 50 years established 19 villages from Maine to Kentucky. The Shakers were guided by the principles of utility, honesty, and order in both their work and worship, and this belief system influenced the physical expression of the goods they produced for use at home and for sale outside their communities. This lovely book presents a wide array of extraordinarily fine examples of Shaker furniture, household objects, textiles, religious drawings, and items made to sell to the “world’s people” (non-Shakers). The book’s expert contributors discuss Shaker design in relation to the furniture they constructed, the products they sold, their gift drawings and spirituality, and their rejection of American Fancy design. The book also considers the powerful inspiration Shaker design has provided for diverse modern and contemporary designers, including George Nakashima, Roy McMakin, Thomas Moser, and Scandinavian furniture makers.

Résumé:
In Imagine No Possessions, Christina Kiaer investigates the Russian Constructivist conception of objects as being more than commodities. "Our things in our hands must be equals, comrades," wrote Aleksandr Rodchenko in 1925. Kiaer analyzes this Constructivist counterproposal to capitalism's commodity fetish by examining objects produced by Constructivist artists between 1923 and 1925: Vladimir Tatlin's prototype designs for pots and pans and other everyday objects, Liubov' Popova's and Varvara Stepanova's fashion designs and textiles, Rodchenko's packaging and advertisements for state-owned businesses (made in collaboration with revolutionary poet Vladimir Mayakovsky), and Rodchenko's famous design for the interior of a workers' club. These artists, heeding the call of Constructivist manifestos to abandon the nonobjective painting and sculpture of the early Russian avant-garde and enter into Soviet industrial production, aimed to work as "artist-engineers" to produce useful objects for everyday life in the new socialist collective.
