Résumé:
What makes us love our things? Why do we attach certain sentiments to certain items? How is it that sometimes objects can tell stories more eloquently than people? These are questions explored and answered in "The uncommon life of common objects". Author Akiko Busch devotes a chapter to each of 12 common objects, and discusses her and others’ experiences that give everyday things their significance. Through her examination of : a video camera, a cellular phone, a vegetable peeler, a snowboard, a baby carriage, a chair, a refrigerator, a mailbox, a medicine cabinet, a cereal box, a backpack, and a desk, Busch illuminates the social and personal issues that shape our lives and the ownership of our things. Each of the 12 chapters is accompanied by a four-color drawing. Edited by Diana Murphy. Foreword by Susan S. Szenasy. Original illustrations by George Skelcher.

Résumé:
An expanded and updated edition of a classic study of the history of modern design. One of the most widely read books on modern design, Nikolaus Pevsner’s landmark work today remains as stimulating as it was when first published in 1936. This expanded edition of Pioneers of Modern Design provides Pevsner’s original text along with significant new and updated information, enhancing Pevsner’s illuminating account of the roots of Modernism. The book now offers many beautiful colour illustrations; biographies and bibliographies of all major figures; illustrated short essays on key themes, movements, and individuals; a critique of Pevsner’s analysis from today’s perspective; examples of works after 1914 (where the original study ended); a biography detailing Pevsner’s life and achievements; and much more. Pevsner saw Modernism as a synthesis of three main sources: William Morris and his followers, the work of nineteenth-century engineers, and Art Nouveau. The author considers the role of these sources in the work of early Modernists and looks at such masters of the movement as C.F.A. Voysey and Charles Rennie Mackintosh in Britain, Louis Sullivan and Frank Lloyd Wright in America, and Adolf Loos and Otto Wagner in Vienna. The account concludes with a discussion of the radical break with the past represented by the design work of Walter Gropius and his future Bauhaus colleagues.

Résumé:
Si le design est aujourd’hui un terme familier, on ignore souvent la diversité des domaines où il s’applique. Pour un public averti, il correspond à la conception d’objets fabriqués industriellement. Plus généralement, il est synonyme de style, sans définition précise. Le design est partout : il investit l’espace domestique comme l’espace urbain. C’est avant tout une discipline qui recouvre un champ d’activités très diversifié : produits, textile, packaging, graphisme, et façonne notre univers intime et collectif. En l’espace de cent cinquante ans, le design a connu de profondes révolutions, reflets des mutations techniques, des bouleversements des pratiques culturelles et sociales qui se sont opérés dans les pays industrialisés. Les “tableaux choisis” témoignent de cette évolution. Le but de cet ouvrage est d’offrir un vaste tour d’horizon afin que le design ne reste pas confiné, dans l’esprit du grand public, au mobilier, à une brosse à dents ou à Philippe Starck !

Résumé:
L'atelier de Recherche et de Création a reçu pour vocation, selon les termes de Jean Coural, de contribuer à " promouvoir un style français contemporain dans le cadre d'un mécénat d'État ". L'intention initiale était double : il s'agissait à la fois de favoriser le renouveau de l'art français du meuble et de relancer l'industrie française dans ce secteur. Les créateurs ont su saisir l'intérêt de ce mécénat public qui leur offrait la possibilité d'une dynamique de recherche libérée des contraintes du secteur marchand. De cette rencontre est née une collection de pièces uniques ou à tirage limité dont l'exécution témoigne d'une recherche de l'excellence conforme à la tradition et aux moyens du Mobilier national et dont l'esprit reflète la nature des besoins exprimés par l'État commanditaire, lesquels ont porté avant tout sur l'ameublement des lieux les plus prestigieux de la République.

Résumé:
SPOON is a comprehensive view of new product design, presenting the work of 100 international designers who have emerged on an international platform in the last five years, selected by 10 critics, designers and entrepreneurs who are highly respected for their informed opinion on the international contemporary design scene. It provides a unique opportunity to see a diverse collection of recent design projects that includes a whole range of objects: furniture, lighting, tools, utensils, high-tech products, machinery and so on. The designers are listed in alphabetical order featuring two double-page spreads for each, with recent, exemplary products accompanied with sketches, drawings, computer renderings, model and prototypes that help to explain, together with the extensive captions, the process behind each project. A short explanatory text by the curator explains the designers’ work and the characteristics that make his/her projects forward-looking and ground breaking. SPOON also features, at the end of the book, 10 ‘classic’, industrially manufactured product designs, chosen by the curators as best examples of the concept of ‘good design’. These ‘classics’ are accompanied by text written by the curators that explains their choice of designers and generally what they see to be the concept of ‘good design’. SPOON takes its place in a series of surveys identifying 100 of the most interesting, cutting-edge practitioners of key art forms. Earlier surveys include cream and Fresh Cream, for contemporary art, 10x10 for architecture and BLINK for photography.
