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.

Résumé:
Arabesques is a celebration of the life and achievements of Carlo Mollino (1905-1973)--architect, designer, author and photographer, and one of Italy's most extraordinary cultural innovators. In a 100 color and 80 black and white illustrations, and with commentary by an array of contemporary Mollino scholars, it examines his famously elegant furniture designs, a selection of his most iconic buildings, his wonderfully futuristic aeroplane and automobile designs and a portfolio of his photographic portraits of women. Mollino's approach was often synthetic; his interiors (which were almost always commissioned) integrated his furniture, interior design and architecture towards a unified aesthetic environment, expressing a coherent aesthetic of elegance and energetic sinuousness.

Résumé:
Designer et artiste inclassable, Pucci de Rossi (1947-2013) a été un pilier de la scène artistique européenne des années 1980. Originaire de Vérone et formé auprès du sculpteur américain H.B. Walker, Pucci de Rossi réalise ses premières pièces en assemblant du mobilier en bois récupéré pour fabriquer des formes étranges et instables, entre trône et machine à remonter le temps. « Mon métier était un jeu pour moi, raconte-t-il, je découpais, je faisais, j’inventais. » Ses premières créations, empreintes de poésie et d’humour, renvoient tout autant au minimalisme de l’Arte Povera qu’au néobaroque du studio Memphis.
