Résumé:
Cet ouvrage, fondé sur des renseignements tirés d'archives jusqu'alors inexploitées, constitue la première vue d'ensemble de la production d'Aalto en tant que designer. Il permet de préciser le travail de l'artiste d'un point de vue structurel, sa recherche de lignes et de formes nouvelles, tout en le replaçant dans les préoccupations sociologiques qui l'ont toujours motivé. Ainsi est mise en lumière la sensibilité de cet architecte en matière de design, qui s'étend avec une rigueur et une qualité égales de l'urbanisme des grands projets au mobilier conçu pour les habiter, des fauteuils aux objets de verre, des poignées de porte aux luminaires.

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:
Hugo Alvar Henrik Aalto (1898-1976), the most important Finnish architect of the twentieth century, was also one of the most noteworthy modern furniture designers. His complete system of furniture-including stools, chairs, armchairs, and tea trolley with oversized wheels, all characterized by curving lines-was considered exemplary and acquired by the New York Museum of Modern Art as early as 1938. In collaboration with his first wife Aino Marsio (1894-1949), he also designed organic, floral forms in glass. His legendary Savoy Vase of 1936, created for the hotel of the same name, and the group of bowls designed to be combined to form the "Aalto Flower" have often been compared to sculptures and paintings of Classical Modernism. This extensive publication presents the pioneering furniture, glass objects, and lamps of Alvar and Aino Aalto in a large selection of photographs, paintings, drawings, and sketches. Texts by Björn Egging, Thomas Kellein.
