Résumé:
In the 1950s, when contemporary industrial design was just beginning to take off in Italy, Franca Santi Gualtieri was invited to join the editorial team of the fledgling Stile Industria, an offshoot of the influential design magazine, Domus. Written as a personal history of the birth of contemporary Italian industrial design, this charming and engaging paperback maps out the story of Gualtieri's experience at the magazine from the years 1954 to 1963, as well as his close collaboration with the famed, contemporaneous Abitare magazine. Contributors to both magazines made their careers as designers during the era, and are today among the most famous in the world--including Ettore Sottsass, Bruno Munari, Vico Magistretti, Albe Steiner and many others. Stile Industria was a landmark publication that wielded tremendous influence over its 10 years of existence. It defined the design standard during an era when Italy led the way for the rest of the world.

Businessman and art collector Hermann Lange entertained a close connection to Mies van der Rohe and interior designer Lilly, and their associations involved family, friends, and Lange’s company.

Résumé:
Businessman and art collector Hermann Lange entertained a close connection to Mies van der Rohe and interior designer Lilly, and their associations involved family, friends, and Lange’s company. From 1927 to 1930 this resulted in structures such as Lange’s own home, Haus Lange in Krefeld, as well as the “Crous” apartment for Lange’s eldest daughter and her husband in Berlin. The couple took the decor and furnishings for this apartment — down to the bell plate — to all of their later apartments, even into the 1990s. This volume is therefore the first to present many of van der Rohe’s and Reich’s furniture pieces, as well as the original decor from Haus Lange (now a museum), thus providing new insights into the collaboration of the two designers.

Résumé:
Founder with Josef Hoffmann of the Wiener WerkstÃtte (or Vienna Workshop), Koloman Moser furnished Viennese homes with a simplicity and elegance that contrasted the city's baroque decadence. But, as this volume demonstrates, Moser's influence extended far beyond stylish living rooms. Here readers will be introduced to Moser as an artisan, painter, educator, designer, and driving force behind the artistic institutions of fin de siecle Vienna. Hundreds of color illustrations showcase the artist's design concepts for entire rooms, including inlaid furniture, dinnerware, vases, and wall hangings, which followed a cohesive concept that renders them classic and timeless. The volume traces Moser's artistic development as he branched into public projects, designing stamps, banknotes, and the glorious windows of the Otto Wagner Church in Steinhof. Readers are also treated to samples of Moser's paintings--landscapes, portraits and mythological scenes that are characterized by their extraordinary coloring. Enhanced with photographs, many never before published, from the artist's private life, this dazzling monograph presents the full range of Moser's contributions to the world of art and design.

Résumé:
The world's enthusiasm for Art Nouveau reached its apex at The World Fair in Paris in 1900. There René Binet created the main entrance, "la Porte Monumentale." To coincide with the exposition, Binet published in Esquisses decoratives (1896) the plate designs for the gate, along with other sketches of furniture, jewelry, wallpaper, lighting, stained glass windows, signs, wrought iron, and architectural details. The entire collection of Binet's sketches for Esquisses decoratives are beautifully presented here in color and black and white. Like his renowned gate, they feature the organic structures and intricate embellishments that mirror the great variety of patterns and ornamentation found in the microcosm of nature and epitomize the Art Nouveau aesthetic. Binet credited scientist and artist Ernst Haeckel's work on radiolarians as his inspiration. Two prominent experts on art and architectural history lend their perspectives to this important work in the realm of the decorative arts.

Résumé:
Though her work has often been overshadowed by that of her peers such as Le Corbusier and Marcel Breuer, Irish designer, lacquer-artist, and architect Eileen Gray (1878-1976) is now widely recognized as a designer of great talent and individuality. She first excelled in the exacting craft of lacquer, creating screens, panels, furniture, and objects of technical virtuosity and poetic strength. Eileen Gray then developed an interest in architecture, designing two houses, "E-1027" (completed 1929) and "Tempe a Pailla" (completed 1934) in the south of France, which are seminal examples of the spirit of the Modern movement. This book analyses and illustrates the full range of her furniture, interiors, and completed architectural projects. Reprint of the edition of 1993.

Résumé:
Cet entretien avec Andrea Branzi est issu d'une interviews réalisée pour France Culture et la série d'émissions A Voix Nue. Il y évoque sa propre carrière mais également l'histoire du design italien et explore les tendances du design actuel. Architecte, designer, théoricien, Andrea Branzi (né à Florence en 1938) vit et travaille à Milan depuis 1973. Il est l'un des théoriciens de l'architecture radicale italienne, laquelle influença toute une génération d'architectes, de Frank O. Gehry à Daniel Libeskind, de Rem Koolhaas à Bernard Tschumi. Il est membre fondateur du groupe Archizoom Associati avec lequel il propose, en 1967, un projet de ville sans fin, No-Stop City, où le mobilier urbain est le seul élément architecturant. Ses " Radical Notes ", publiées dans la revue Casabella participent au débat théorique de cette époque. De 1974 à 1976, Branzi est membre de Global Tools qui veut être un laboratoire expérimental pour la " créativité de masse ", une contre-école d'architecture et de design. De 1938 à 1987, il dirige la revue Modo. L'activité d'Andrea Branzi s'étend au design industriel, à l'architecture et à l'aménagement urbain. En 1987, il obtient le compas d'or pour l'ensemble de sa carrière. Andrea Benzi est également professeur associé à la faculté d'architecture et de design du Politecnico de Milan
