Résumé:
This colourful book, bound on the right in the Japanese style, comprises a journey of three interconnected layers. The first is words, a poem by Hiroshi Osada, the second is formed through pen drawings by Yoshie Watanabe and the third consists of physical objects, the simple jewellery crafted by Etsuko Sonobe. Together, the three layers translate into a narrative about two girls passing time through various activities, whether it be picking fruit or digging sand. Colour and shape play important roles, as the childlike drawings and jewellery pieces reflect both each other and the poem itself.

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:
Publication en lien avec l'exposition Nirvana: les étranges formes du plaisir présentée au Mudac (Musée de design et d’arts appliqués contemporains de Lausanne), du 29 octobre 2014 au 26 avril 2015. L’ambition de l’exposition est d’observer l’esthétique du plaisir et ses influences sur le design, la mode et l’art contemporain. Troublants ou séduisants, les vêtements, bijoux, accessoires ou pièces de mobilier exposés et étudiés dans les différents textes de l’ouvrage révèlent aussi bien la richesse des formes utilisées que l’érudition de ceux qui les ont imaginées. Il s’agit d’une véritable étude scientifique. Les travaux de plus de 100 artistes et designers internationaux seront représentés et étudiés par des spécialistes du design, historiens de l’art, sociologues et historiens de la mode. Un livre richement illustré, qui met en valeur la présence du sexe dans les objets les plus simples comme les plus excentriques.
