Résumé:
Gianni Pettena was a founding member of the radical Florentine architecture movement in the 1960s and 1970s, albeit always maintaining an independent position. As well as critiquing modernist functionalism, he frequented galleries, artists, and critics of the day, and became noted for his purposeful reluctance to actual design. Pettena’s youthful work in the United States and assiduous frequentation of (an)architects such as Buckminster Fuller and James Wines, who early on paid attention to ecology, the suburbs and "to making insignificant places significant," may be interpreted in this light. More generally, the uniqueness of his long career is informed by his rejection of discipline-based roles and methodologies, creating temporary works while constantly seeking alliances with conceptual art, Austrian radical design, Land Art and experimental music. This book documents (almost) all of his works, backed up by an extensive anthology of his writings.

Résumé:
From transparent glass to milky glass, from delicate simple shapes to Phoenician designs, in over 400 pages and 900 images, ''The M.V.M. Cappellin Glassworks and the Young Carlo Scarpa'' tells an essential chapter in the history of Murano glassmaking. In 1925, Giacomo Cappellin (1887–1968) broke with V.S.M. Cappellin Venini & Co. to become one of the most important glass companies in Italy, in no small part thanks to its collaboration with the young architect Carlo Scarpa (1906–78). The entire output of M.V.M. Cappellin from 1925 to1931, when the glassworks was forced to close, is documented in this gorgeous volume. ''The M.V.M. Cappellin Glassworks and the Young Carlo Scarpa'' offers a wealth of information for scholars, collectors and art lovers, including, in addition to its images, information on the production and exhibition of Cappellin Glassworks in the United States and France.

Résumé:
Premier ouvrage consacré au travail de dessin du designer Pierre Charpin, ce livre réunit une sélection de près de 120 œuvres tirées de différentes séries réalisées entre 2005 et 2022. Si le dessin est une discipline artistique, il constitue également une étape majeure dans la pratique du design. Or, Pierre Charpin ne l’a jamais considéré comme une simple étape du processus de production d’un objet, mais bel et bien comme une pratique à part entière, traduisant la relation singulière que le designer entretient plus largement avec la forme. En lien direct avec ses intuitions et pensées, le dessin est perçu comme un moyen immédiat, intuitif et naturel de faire émerger une forme qui n’existe pas encore. Cet ouvrage est publié en partenariat avec le Centre d’art d’intérêt national villa Noailles dans le cadre de la programmation hors les murs 2022 à l’Hôtel des Arts de Toulon.

Résumé:
As a pioneer of modern design, Willy Guhl created world-famous furniture such as the Eternit garden chair or Europe’s first plastic shell chair. In the tradition of modernism and against the traditional “Heimatstil”, he developed a holistic design approach oriented to human beings and their needs. Functionality and reduction to the essential characterize his everyday objects. For companies such as Dietiker, Eternit and Aebi, Willy Guhl designed seating furniture, planters and mowing machines. Guhl’s designs and his teaching methods bear witness to the innovations of the booming design industry of the post-war period and the changing professional image of the industrial designer. As a teacher, he influenced generations of Swiss designers. This first comprehensive monograph illuminates Willy Guhl’s legacy in the context of this design and teaching practice as well as current theories of the design discipline. As a thematically structured catalog of works, it offers a complete index of all design projects.
