Résumé:
Arriving in the United States in 1914, Viennese-born Paul T. Frankl (1886-1958) brought with him an outsider's fresh perspective and an enthusiasm for forging a uniquely American design aesthetic. In the years between the two world wars he, more than any other designer, helped shape the distinctive look of American modernism. This authoritative book draws on an extensive collection of unpublished documents and family papers and photographs to provide the first full account of Frankl's life and ideas. The book also explores the history of modern American design and the extent of Frankl's influence on its trajectory. In the early 1920s, Frankl opened a New York City shop that became an epicentre of American modernism. Over the next decades, his work encompassed everything from individual pieces of furniture and decorative accessories to entire interiors, and his style continuously evolved, from early 'Skyscraper' furniture to relaxed and casual designs favoured by the Hollywood elite in the 1930s to manufactured pieces for the mass market in the 1950s. The book charts the impact of Frankl's ideas on merchants and consumers, on his fellow designers, and on the changing look of American homes and workplaces. With close to 170 illustrations, "Paul T. Frankl and Modern American Design" is an essential reference on 20th-century design.

Résumé:
Ancienne collaboratrice de Denis Santachiara et de Philippe Starck, Matali Crasset est une des rares femmes designers connue internationalement. Elle crée sans relâche (mobilier, scénographie, architecture...). Bruce Benderson, écrivain américain et préfacier de cette troisième version, la qualifie d'ailleurs de génie créateur. En 2006, elle a été élue créatrice de l'année au Salon du meuble de Paris. Le travail de Matali Crasset, qui s'est imposé dans les années 1990, interroge notre cadre de vie pour en faire un espace de mobilité et d'expérimentation. Designer industriel de formation, ses réalisations l'ont amenée à repenser son métier et à développer des propositions chargées de sens. La notion de partage et de cohabitation sont des concepts inhérents à chacune de ses créations. Cette troisième version fait la part belle aux nouveaux projets, où elle intervient dans des domaines aussi variés que le design industriel, le graphisme, la scénographie ou l'architecture intérieure.

Membre du groupe Radi Designers de 1994 à 2003, Florence Doléac poursuit ensuite ses projets en solo. Elle inscrit son travail dans un espace interstitiel dans lequel le design dialogue avec l'art, et où ses modalités de présentation et de production oscillent entre un dispositif marchand et institutionnel. Florence Doléac observe et domestique notre quotidien avec un regard empreint de poésie et d'humour. Elle ne cherche pas à améliorer notre vie par un design fonctionnel, mais elle dissèque nos rites et nous interroge, tout en douceur, sur la fonction et l'inutilité des objets. La revendication de cette position peu commune lui confère une identité particulière.

'Assemblage 6' started off with almost 300 maquettes: chairs, lamps, stools, or daybeds made of wire, cardboard, tape, and canvas, or the everyday materials to be found in Faye Toogood’s studio. Seventeen were chosen to be scaled up to life-size works, and here we have an immersive journey through all the original maquettes and their occasional passage into the real world of furniture/sculpture, a book that plays with the sense of dissimulation evident in the final artworks, or the fact that some objects are not always what they seem at first glance.

Résumé:
Accompanying the first retrospective of Taeuber-Arp’s work in the United States in 40 years, "Sophie Taeuber-Arp: Living abstraction" is a comprehensive survey of this multifaceted abstract artist’s innovative and wide-ranging body of work. Her background in the applied arts and dance, her involvement in the Zurich Dada movement and her projects for architectural spaces were essential to her development of a uniquely versatile and vibrant abstract vocabulary. Through her artistic output and various professional alliances, Taeuber-Arp consistently challenged the historically constructed boundaries separating fine art from craft and design. This illustrated catalog explores the artist’s interdisciplinary and cross-pollinating approach to abstraction through some 400 works, including textiles, beadwork, polychrome marionettes, architectural and interior designs, stained glass windows, works on paper, paintings and relief sculptures. It also features 15 essays that examine the full sweep of Taeuber-Arp’s career. Arranged into six chapters that follow the exhibition’s sections, these essays trace the progression of Taeuber-Arp’s creative production both chronologically and thematically. A comprehensive illustrated chronology, the first essay on Taeuber-Arp’s materials and techniques, and an exhibition checklist based on new research and analysis detail the expansive nature of Taeuber-Arp’s production.
