These are questions explored and answered in "The uncommon life of common objects".

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:
Delightfully child-like in some ways, perversely obsessive in others, this richly illustrated book is a fascinating journey in miniature through the changing trends in Scandinavian interior design in the second half of the 20th century. An astonishing amalgam of the Swedish folk art of miniature-making (called folkhem) with a vogue for minuscule Modernism. These doll's houses are complete from Arne Jacobsen chairs to wallpaper to period toilets and kitchens. Gorgeous full-bleed photos put you right into the center of these remarkable, mint-condition dwellings, built by three important Swedish toy makers, BRIO, Lundby and Micki Gemla.
