Résumé:
Quand les hommes se sont-ils mis à porter des bijoux ou jouer de la musique ? Quand les vaches ont-elles été domestiquées et pourquoi donnons-nous leur lait à nos enfants ? Où sont nées les premières villes et à quoi devons-nous leur triomphe ? Qui a développé les mathématiques – ou a inventé la monnaie ? L'Histoire de l’humanité est une histoire d'invention et d'innovation : nous avons continuellement créé, utilisé ou admiré de nouveaux objets. Avec ce livre, Neil MacGregor dresse un portrait inattendu de l'évolution humaine. Il démontre le pouvoir qu'ont les choses de nous connecter avec une incomparable immédiateté à des hommes très éloignés dans l'espace et dans le temps, et de permettre à toute l'humanité d'avoir une voix dans notre histoire commune.

Résumé:
This small-format volume presents more than 200 furniture and objects made between 1981 and 1986 for the Memphis collection. Memphis was an Italian design and architecture collective founded by Ettore Sottsass, a leading exponent of 1980s postmodernism. It was the outcome of a long process that began at the Olivetti company in Ivrea, where Sottsass had been the design coordinator since the late 1950s, and continued with the research of the radical architecture movements of the 1960s and 1970s, in Florence and Europe. The publication documents the eponymous 2022 Milan exhibition on the group, for which Memphis works were dynamically installed in chronological order in the style of a fashion show, with quotes by critics, architects and designers projected on the walls.

Résumé:
Published in conjunction with the "metalworks – designing & making" exhibition in the Konschthal Esch, this book uses the production of some twenty international creators to discuss methods of transforming metal in contemporary design. Around forty objects have been classified into sixteen categories, illustrating how these creators have adopted and crafted metal. Some experiment with the material and its properties, others question the physical limits of existing techniques. Accompanied by a historical text recounting the uses of metal in furniture since the eighteenth century, and the history of the metallurgical industry in Luxembourg, this publication brings together some sixty biographies, explanatory texts, and a technical lexicon on methods of transformation and the selected objects.
