Abstract

Design in the 21st Century has liberated itself from industrial conditions and the associated physical demands. With new technology, expanded choice of materials and the practice of luxurious craftsmanship, designers are embracing design with scintillating attitude, challenging aesthetic boundaries and speculating new expressions in visual codes. Desire documents current developments in furniture and object design today, showcasing recent work by the most exciting and influential designers from around the globe categorized into four distinct trends and groups: Modernists, Taletellers, Inventors and Entertainers.

Abstract

Cet ouvrage est le premier du genre qui retrace le travail des pionniers de Vitra avec un aperçu des architectes et designers provenant de tout le globe. Il retrace l'évolution de la compagnie, depuis sa première collaboration avec George Nelson et Charles & Ray Eames en 1950 jusqu'à la dernière extension du Campus Vitra à Weil am Rhein construit par Herzog & de Meuron et SANAA. Vitra produit les meubles de Charles et Ray Eames et George Nelson depuis 1957. Sur cette base se développa au fil des années, en collaboration avec des créateurs progressifs, une collection de meubles aux facettes multiples pour le bureau, l'habitat et les espaces publics. Cependant Vitra est bien plus qu'une entreprise de production orientée sur le design. Vitra représente également un musée, le Vitra Design Museum, une collection de meubles de l'époque moderne et de leurs archives, des ateliers et publications sur le thème du design et une approche de l'architecture qui réunit, au siège social à Birsfelden (Suisse) et sur le site Vitra à Weil am Rhein (Allemagne), des bâtiments de Frank Gehry, Nicholas Grimshaw, Zaha Hadid, Tadao Ando, Alvaro Siza, Herzog & de Meuron et SANAA. Pour rendre compte de cette diversité, nous parlons de Vitra en tant que projet.

Abstract

Chair Anatomy' reveals in photos and illustrations the form and the construction details - the anatomy - of a selection of fifty chairs chosen from the last 150 years of modern chair design. It also introduces the designers behind these chairs, their backgrounds and their routes to creating the chairs. In reducing chairs to their constituent parts, the book gets to the heart of each design: how pieces are designed and produced to fit together; why a certain material imparts a certain quality, functional advance or comfort level; and how the chair's structure can withstand stress while being elegant and economical to produce. In short, a chair is architecture in miniature.

Abstract

Eyeglasses have been transformed from medical necessity to fashion accessory. This revolution has come about through embracing the design culture of the fashion industry. Why shouldn't design sensibilities also be applied to hearing aids, prosthetic limbs, and communication aids? In return, disability can provoke radical new directions in mainstream design. Charles and Ray Eames's iconic furniture was inspired by a molded plywood leg splint that they designed for injured and disabled servicemen. Designers today could be similarly inspired by disability. In Design Meets Disability, Graham Pullin shows us how design and disability can inspire each other. In the Eameses' work there was a healthy tension between cut-to-the-chase problem solving and more playful explorations. Pullin offers examples of how design can meet disability today. Why, he asks, shouldn't hearing aids be as fashionable as eyewear? What new forms of braille signage might proliferate if designers kept both sighted and visually impaired people in mind? Can simple designs avoid the need for complicated accessibility features? Can such emerging design methods as "experience prototyping" and "critical design" complement clinical trials? Pullin also presents a series of interviews with leading designers about specific disability design projects, including stepstools for people with restricted growth, prosthetic legs (and whether they can be both honest and beautifully designed), and text-to-speech technology with tone of voice. When design meets disability, the diversity of complementary, even contradictory, approaches can enrich each field.
