Résumé:
German designer Konstantin Grcic, winner of the Compasso d`Oro (Milan, 2001) among other awards, is a figure in the international scene. He has received numerous commissions from such prestigious names in the design industry as Authentics, Flos, iittala, Krups, Magis and Muji. From his initial training as a cabinet-maker, Grcic retains the hands-on approach and sensitivity to materials of a craftsman. His foray into contemporary design at the Royal College of Art in London, added a new dimension to his fascination with making things. As a result, every one of his products is informed by his research into the history of design and architecture, and a passion for technology. The book presents the work of KGID, show-casing a remarkable portfolio and offering an insight into the design process through the various stages of a product's development. Conceived by Florian Böhm and Konstantin Grcic, and illustrated with sketches, computer renderings and photographs.

Résumé:
This book, devoted to the contributions of the Austro-American artist and architect Friedrich Kiesler to the field of design, presents previously unpublished material relating to his innovative furniture designs and prototypes from the 1930s and 1940s. Letters, diary entries, and photographs document the New York cultural environment in which Friedrich Kiesler lived and worked and illuminate the role he played in the contemporary design scene. After emigrating to New York in 1925, Kiesler soon became an important mediator between European and American positions in the fields of design and architecture. In the ensuing years, he designed furniture and exhibitions and articulated the fundamental principles of a critical theory of functional architecture and design. Such concepts as flexibility, dynamism, and multifunctionality were crucial elements of his theoretical constructs. With an introduction by Monika Pessler, texts by Tulga Beyerle, Harald Krejci, and a preface by Dieter Bogner and Heinz F. Hofer-Wittmann.

Résumé:
"Industrial Strength Design: How Brooks Stevens Shaped Your World" is an introduction to the work of industrial designer Brooks Stevens (1911-1995). Believing that an industrial designer "should be a businessman, an engineer, and a stylist, in that order," Stevens created thousands of designs for industrial and household products--including a clothes dryer with a window in the front, a wide-mouthed peanut butter jar, and the Oscar Mayer Wienermobile. He invented a precursor to the SUV by turning a Jeep into a station wagon after World War II, and streamlined steam irons so that they resembled aircraft. This book, which accompanies an exhibit at the Milwaukee Art Museum, includes 250 illustrations of designs by Stevens and his firm, many in colour.

Résumé:
Au moment où s’engagent les travaux de restauration de la villa E.1027, maison de vacances en bord de mer conçue et réalisée à Roquebrune-Cap-Martin par Eileen Gray et Jean Badovici, il est apparu opportun de mettre à nouveau à la disposition du public le superbe porte-folio qui l’avait documentée et célébrée en 1929, l’année de sa livraison. La présente réédition du numéro spécial de la revue française d’avant-garde L’Architecture Vivante, (Éditions Albert Morancé, 1929, une copie se trouve dans la bibliothèque du CCA) attentive à préserver la qualité du document original, est augmentée de trois articles introductifs qui nous permettent de comprendre : - Les conditions de la redécouverte de cette icône dans les années 1970 (Jean-Paul Rayon) ; - Le contexte de sa conception et les motivations de Le Corbusier lorsqu’il appose ses peintures murales (Jean-Lucien Bonillo) ; - les choix techniques qui dérivent des contraintes du chantier (Pierre-Antoine Gatier). Attentive à préserver une dimension poétique et une éthique humaniste dans la conduite de son travail, Eileen Gray nous livre avec E.1027 un témoignage rare et précieux du rêve moderne de l’œuvre d’art totale.

Résumé:
Depuis toujours Ronan Bouroullec dessine quotidiennement. Une pratique artistique pure qu'il juge autonome du métier pour lequel il est internationalement reconnu. Mais s'il existe une porosité entre ces deux faces de son activité qui se nourrissent l'une l'autre, Ronan Bouroullec considère le dessin comme indispensable à son équilibre. L'ouvrage « Fièvre » accompagne l'exposition « Dessins quotidiens », l'Hôtel des Arts TPM à Toulon. Avec près de 300 oeuvres (dessins, bas-reliefs et carnets) présentées, il révèle une petite part, encore peu connue, de son talent créatif. Une part infime au regard des milliers de dessins qu'il conserve tous, mais suffisamment riche pour éclairer cette facette très intime de la personnalité de l'un des designers français les plus talentueux de sa génération.
