Abstract

Andrée Putman (1925-2013) s’impose dès la fin des années 1970 comme l’ordonnatrice hors pair des intérieurs, la fée des logis chics. Consacrée « grande prêtresse de la décoration », elle érige sa silhouette hiératique en image de marque d’un métier, architecte d’intérieur, qu’elle s’invente à 53 ans. On vante la folle allure de sa mèche crantée et de ses tailleurs cintrés autant que son apologie du noir, du blanc, des beiges et des gris, de l’épure domestique et des lignes sobres d’un mobilier Art déco revisité. Connue dans le monde entier, elle est l’incarnation d’un minimalisme élégant, à la française. Mais qui était vraiment cette grande bourgeoise piquée de rébellion, ex-jeune fille mutique muée en night-clubbeuse senior, musicienne défroquée intronisée « Coco Chanel du design » ? À la lumière de minutieuses recherches et de nombreux témoignages, cette première biographie d’Andrée Putman révise l’histoire officielle d’une styliste de sa propre vie. Elle donne chair à une icône.

Abstract

"Pierre Guariche (1926-1995) was a leading interior architect, furniture, and lighting designer in postwar France. He created a prolific body of work during what is known as the Thirty Glorious Years (1945-1975), a period of economic prosperity and high growth in France. He was an early adopter of industrial materials and production techniques that emerged during the 1950s, and is known for his remarkable lighting fixtures and simple, elegant furniture designs that could be manufactured on a large scale. He worked with innovative companies like Airborne, Steiner, and Pierre Disderot; he co-founded a design collective (Atelier de Recherche Plastique- ARP); and was the artistic director for the Meurop furniture company in Belgium. In advance of Charlotte Perriand in Les Arcs and Marcel Breuer in Flaine, he worked with the architect Michel Bezançon on the creation of La Plagne, the first comprehensive winter sports resort in France. Making use of unpublished archives, this book looks back on a rich itinerary of over 200 interior architecture and design projects, almost as many pieces of furniture, and a series of remarkable lighting fixtures (reissued today by Sammode) which shed light on the modernity and timeless elegance of this remarkable creator."

Abstract

We live in the age of the Anthropocene; human activity is the dominant force affecting the climate and man-made and organic materials are becoming irreversibly intertwined. As natural resources dwindle, designers are exploring the potential of increasingly plentiful waste streams to become the raw materials of the future. Wasted. When trash becomes treasure celebrates 30 optimistic and enterprising designers, makers and manufacturers who use waste as their primary resource, offering a rare glimpse into the embryonic world they inhabit. Accompanying these profiles, five in-depth and thematic essays will explore the societal, cultural and environmental implications of their work. Nous vivons à l'ère de l'Anthropocène ; l'activité humaine est la force dominante qui affecte le climat et les matériaux organiques et artificiels s'entremêlent de façon irréversible. Alors que les ressources naturelles diminuent, les créateurs explorent le potentiel des stocks de déchets de plus en plus abondants pour devenir les matières premières de demain. "Le gaspillage : quand les déchets deviennent un trésor" met en lumière 30 designers, fabricants et entrepreneurs optimistes et entreprenants qui utilisent les déchets comme ressource primaire, offrant un rare aperçu du monde embryonnaire dans lequel ils opèrent. En complément de ces portraits, cinq essais approfondis et thématiques exploreront les implications sociétales, culturelles et environnementales de leur travail.

Abstract

Our homes are an expression of how we want to live; they shape our everyday routines and fundamentally affect our well-being. Interior design for the home sustains a giant global industry and feeds an entire branch of the media. However, the question of dwelling, or how to live, is found increasingly to be lacking in serious discourse. This book sets out to review the interior design of our homes. It discusses 20 iconic residential interiors from the present back to the 1920s, by architects and designers such as Assemble, Arno Brandlhuber, Lina Bo Bardi, and Josef Frank and by artists such as Cecil Beaton and Andy Warhol. Including historic and recent photographs, drawings and plans, the book explores these case studies as key moments in the history of the modern interior. Penny Sparke provides a concise history of the discipline of interior design, Alice Rawsthorn investigates the role of gender, and Mark Taylor discusses the discourse on interior design in the twenty-first century. Adam Štěch offers insights into the use of colour in residential interiors and Matteo Pirola offers a detailed and richly illustrated chronology of significant events in the history of interior design. In a portfolio of photographs selected exclusively for this book, Jasper Morrison explores what makes a good interior. In addition to inter-views with contemporary interior design practitioners, experts in the fields of the sociology of living and psychology provide further insight. This book a valuable resource for anyone interested in interior design. Exhibition: Vitra Design Museum, Weil am Rhein, Germany (08.02.2020-23.08.2020).
