Résumé:
"Streamlined: A Metaphor for Progress" discusses the scientific, cultural, and historical development of this remarkable design style. Portraits of such designers as William B. Stout and Norman Bel Geddes, among others; an essay on streamlining at the world's fairs in Chicago 1933-34 and New York 1939-40; and source texts such as Paul Jardy's "Teardrops, Aerodynamics, and Motorcars" (1924) are just a few of the many topics covered. The book presents over 600 photographs, illustrating the degree to which streamlining has come to personify progress. The photographs also testify to the enormity of the aesthetic ripple effect that streamlining has caused -- readers will be amazed to see the variety of objects that have been "streamlined" over the years.

Résumé:
Recently opened to the public for the first time, the home of the Futurist artist Giacomo Balla is depicted and inventoried in this book. The apartment in Rome in which Balla lived with his family for over 30 years was covered with lively murals, painted furniture, decorated utensils and clothes, as well as preparatory drawings, stage designs, toys and other works by the artist, together with paintings by his two daughters Luce and Elica. The numerous paintings by Balla kept in the apartment range from his early figurative period to the Futurist aesthetics of the 1910s and ’20s and a return to representation in the latter part of his life. Together they create a kaleidoscopic example of total design, reflecting the indissoluble link between art and life that lay at the root of Futurist thinking.

Résumé:
Créatrice incontournable du XXe siècle, Charlotte Perriand (1903-1999) est l'une des fondatrices de l'architecture d'intérieur moderne, discipline à part entière de l'art de bâtir. Figurant parmi les pionniers du design, bien que sa démarche reste avant tout celle d'une architecte, elle n'a cessé, pendant soixante-dix ans de sa vie de création, de mener une réflexion politique et éthique sur un habitat adapté à l'homme. Dès sa sortie de l'école de l'Union centrale des arts décoratifs à l'âge de 22 ans, elle se libère du conservatisme dominant pour figurer deux ans plus tard dans l'avant-garde française parmi les créateurs des premiers meubles en tube. Frappé par la modernité du Bar sous le toit qu'elle expose au Salon d'automne de 1927, Le Corbusier lui propose de s'associer à lui et à Pierre Jeanneret pour l'aménagement intérieur, le mobilier et l'équipement des villas qu'ils construisent. En 1929, elle est l'une des cofondatrices de l'Union des artistes modernes. Pendant les dix années de sa collaboration avec Le Corbusier, elle poursuit des recherches sur un habitat et un mobilier pour le plus grand nombre, l'architecture préfabriquée modulaire et l'urbanisme au sein des Congrès internationaux d'architecture moderne (CIAM) dont elle est l'une des animatrices en France. Parallèlement, elle développe la technique du photomontage pour la communication de ses idées politiques. Nommée en 1940 conseillère pour l'art industriel au Japon, elle découvre une conception de l'habitat traditionnel qui rejoint les théories les plus avant-gardistes. Cette expérience est déterminante dans l'élaboration de son " Art d'habiter ", manifeste exprimant une vision fondée sur l'harmonie et le vide qu'elle rédige à son retour en France. A cette époque, elle participe à la fondation du mouvement Formes utiles dans le cadre de l'UAM. En 1952, la perspective d'une production en série l'amène à signer avec les Ateliers Jean Prouvé une convention aux termes de laquelle elle est chargée de l'amélioration esthétique (les meubles existants et d'apporter des dessins (le meubles nouveaux. Ces années 50 voient la concrétisation de ses recherches sur le rangement avec le placard Brazza, les bibliothèques Mexique et Tunisie -aussi célèbres que la chaise longue basculante, le fauteuil pivotant et le fauteuil grand confort réalisés en 1928 avec Le Corbusier et Pierre Jeanneret. Les chantiers d'équipement qu'elle dirige alors- immeuble Air France à Brazzaville, maisons de la Tunisie et du Mexique, agences Air France de Londres, Paris et Tokyo et pavillon du Brésil en 1959 - préfigurent le travail considérable qu'elle accomplira pour la station des Arcs en Savoie au cours des années 70 et 80.

Résumé:
Contemporary architecture is often characterized by the total interpenetration of interior and exterior configurations: the differentiation between these two dialectical poles has become indistinguishable, boundaries blurry and the result of any design process is a hybrid product, based on the superposition of different and heterogeneous layers. The impossibility of separating interior and exterior permits a general reorganisation of some topics internal to the territory of architecture, and also expresses the necessity of a systemic analysis of the most recent episodes. If at first glance this interest for a new kind of dialectics may appear as the most evident epiphenomenon of a wider and recent tendency, under careful examination one can observe that the tension between interior and exterior has always been present in architecture, differently articulated over the centuries, and expressed through several means of representation.

Résumé:
The Wiener Werkstätte, founded in Vienna in 1903 by Josef Hoffmann and Koloman Moser, became the international trademark for art as well as arts-and-crafts in the twentieth century. The history of the Wiener Werkstätte is told in this volume, which features historic photographs (some of them published for the first time here), documents and original texts selected by experts from the MAK (where the Wiener Werkstätte archives have been housed since 1955). Full-page illustrations feature outstanding examples of Wiener Werkstätte objects, covering architecture, furniture, ceramics, glass, books, posters, postcards, carpets, jewelry, fashion and print design. The book also focuses on the innovative "total concept" used by this avant-garde association to establish an early "consumer culture," since the Werkstätte was one of the first organizations to develop a corporate identity that followed a product through every stage from concept and development to marketing.

Résumé:
More than any other piece of furniture, the chair has been subjected to the wildest dreams of the designers. The particular curve of a back-rest, or the twist of a leg, the angle of a seat or the colour of the entire artefact all reflect the stylistic consciousness of each era. From Gerrit Rietveld and Alvar Aalto via Verner Panton to Eva Zeisel; from Art Nouveau to International Style, from Pop Art to Postmodernism, the phenomenon of the chair is so complex that it requires a reference work as comprehensive as this to do it full justice. They are all here: Thonet's bentwood chairs and Hoffmann's sitting-machines, Marcel Breuer's Wassily chair and Ron Arad's avant-garde armchairs. The book, a slightly abbreviated version of our classic title "1000 Chairs", devotes one page to each chair, displayed on its own as pure form, with biographical and historical information about the chairs and their designers. A special treat for anyone who loves design and a must for collectors!
