"Mid-Century Modern Interiors explores the history of interior design during arguably its most iconic and influential period. The 1930s to the 1960s in the United States was a key moment for interior design. It not only saw the emergence of some of interior design's most globally-important designers, it also saw the field of interior design emerge at last as a profession in its own right. Through a series of detailed case studies this book introduces the key practitioners of the period - world-renowned designers including Ray and Charles Eames, Richard Neutra, and George Nelson - and examines how they developed new approaches by applying systematic and rational principles to the creation of interior spaces. It takes us into the mind of the designer to show how they each used interior design to express their varied theoretical interests, and reveals how the principles they developed have become embodied in the way interior design is practiced today. This focus on unearthing the underlying ideas and concepts behind their designs rather than on the finished results creates a richer, more conceptual understanding of this pivotal period in modernist design history. With an extended introduction setting the case studies within the broader context of twentieth-century design and architectural history, this book provides both an introduction and an in-depth analysis for students and scholars of interior design, architecture and design history."--Bloomsbury Publishing.

"Just as was the case in other phases of history - including, but not limited to pre-modern history - today's finishes in architecture and in our habitat are characterised by figures and spaces, rather than forms, increasingly moving away from abstraction. The recurrent and once again customary presence of figures, natural references, small or large-sized ornaments and decorations, calls for a reflection on this phenomenology; this ranges from a detail in texture to the finishing elements in our interiors, to the surfaces which attribute expressive features to contemporary buildings, in a sort of new - unconscious?- reference to a materialist and naturalistic matrix in relation to the look of artifacts. This condition seemed prevalent from, for example, a walk through the grounds at the last Expo: a touch of experimentalism in the expressive display of shapes and figures inspired by nature or biophysics. This is an easy tool to 'shock the bourgeoisie': from trees of life, foliage and/or stylized woods covering pavilions/boxes, to simplified naturalistic intrusions, the character of the array of decor for our habitat - from public spaces to homes - investigates a wide range of figures mimicking nature. The texts are organised into homogeneous thematic clusters, collecting reflections and short essays, with some bibliographic annotations for each topic. The central thread connecting the text is a critical approach - in positive terms - to the relation between technology, design concept and the production of forms of artifacts"--

Tout à la fois urbaniste, architecte, ensemblier, théoricien et enseignant, Otto Wagner (1841-1918) est l'une des principales figures de l'architecture européenne du tournant des XIXe et XXe siècles, dont l'influence a largement dépassé les frontières de l'Empire austro-hongrois.Visionnaire, Wagner comprit que l'historicisme était en concentration totale avec le dynamisme politique, économique et social de l'Autriche contemporaine.En réponse, il encouragea la création d'une architecture rationnelle et basée à la fois sur des matériaux et des modes de construction innovants.Ses prises de position ont largement contribué à la fondation de la Sécession en 1897.Le présent ouvrage réunit des articles des meilleurs spécialistes européens de l'architecte et est richement illustré des documents issus des archives de Wagner.Il accompagne et prolonge la première exposition monographique consacrée à Otto Wagner en France, organisée par la Cité de l'Architecture & du Patrimoine.
