Résumé:
Including newly commissioned essays by curators and scholars, this book explores how Sottsass’s art and philosophy presaged the dawn of PCs, the service industry, and the gig economy. Ettore Sottsass was an architect, industrial designer, painter, writer, photographer, and founder of the Memphis group, whose designs are undergoing an impressive renaissance. But Sottsass was more than just an important designer. His approach to object design–marked by bold colors, tactility, and vitality–was a direct response to the world of mass production and the assembly-line economy. This revelatory collection of essays by leading thinkers in the fields of political theory, economics, the media, design history, and cultural theory contextualizes Sottsass’s work in unprecedented arguments that draw a line from his work at Olivetti to the iconoclastic designs he produced at the dawn of the 21st century. Divided into five chronological sections–from the late 1950s to Sottsass’s death in 2007– these essays are illustrated with vibrant images of his work and archival photographs. Deeply researched, the book makes crucial connections between postwar Europe and America, and the way we work and live today.

En 1981, le designer italien Ettore Sottsass, sorti de l’aventure du studio Alchymia, fédère autour de lui un collectif de jeunes architectes et designers afin de faire voler en éclats les codes de la modernité. La première exposition de Memphis à Milan, en 1981, fait l’effet d’une bombe dans le paysage européen du design, et renouvelle radicalement le langage des formes et des couleurs. Ce livre revient, à l’occasion de l’exposition au madd-bordeaux, sur la genèse de ce mouvement qui a remis la culture démocratique au coeur du design et a réintégré avec un humour irrévérencieux dans ses codes l’ornement et la décoration.

Résumé:
Charlotte Perriand (1903-1999) was a pioneer of modern design in France during the twentieth century. Her avant-garde vision was expressed in color, organic forms, and streamlined functionality, elements which are still at the heart of contemporary design today. Her furnishings were created from aluminum, rubber, chrome, leather, bamboo, and above all, wood; their appeal is timeless. This lavishly illustrated book, accompanying a major retrospective at the Louis Vuitton Foundation in Paris, explores how much in the vanguard she was in her use of materials, in her social and political awareness, and in her collaborations with artists, architects, and other designers. The show presents a global vision of her creativity, talent, and inventiveness, exploring her commitment to women and to a humanist design ethos that took into account the middle and working classes with an emphasis on rationalizing costs and space.

At its core is the first English translation of ‘Obvious Code’ (1971), a collection of Munari’s own writings, sketches, and poems about his work. It includes iconic design objects such as the Abitacolo, artworks like his series of handmade projection slides, obscure rhymes about the art market, and an original piece from his 'unreadable books' series. Dozens of artists, designers, writers, and curators were invited to annotate Munari’s texts as a testament to the depth of his influence on international art.

Résumé:
Design, architecture, photographie... Il est impossible de restreindre le travail de Charlotte Perriand (1903-1999) à un seul domaine d'expression. Créatrice d'avant-garde, elle rejoint dès 1927 Le Corbusier et devient responsable du mobilier et de l'équipement de l'habitation au sein de son atelier de la rue de Sèvres. Dans un esprit résolument opposé aux Arts décoratifs, ils y créeront, en collaboration avec Pierre Jeanneret, des meubles fondateurs du design moderne. Mais au-delà d'une recherche esthétique, c’est une réflexion politique que mène Charlotte Perriand sur l'habitat, notamment sur la place des femmes dans le foyer. Tout au long de sa vie, elle travaillera avec les mêmes exigences : penser l'espace à partir de l'expérience humaine, s'inspirer des modes de vie et des cultures – en particulier japonaise – pour enrichir ses créations, concevoir l'architecture dans le respect de la nature et rendre accessible au plus grand nombre un véritable art de vivre.
