Summary:
Danish designers are renowned around the world for their beautiful and functional chairs. This substantial new book tells the full story of the Danish chairs that were created during the 20th century. “The Danish Chair: An International Affair” is structured around chair types and illustrates how the “golden age” of Danish furniture design was driven by the study and refinement of historical furniture types, including chairs from abroad that served as important sources of inspiration. It traces the family relations between the chairs and shows how they influenced each other in terms of detailing, construction and concept. Design was the cultural phenomenon that put Denmark on the world map in the mid-20th century. The international brand of Danish design arose in 1949 when American journalists began to write about the Danish furniture at the Copenhagen Cabinetmakers’ Guild exhibition.

Modernism, with its powerful aesthetic and compelling philosophical framework, is the twentieth century’s most defining movement in design and the applied arts. International architects and designers such as Alvar Aalto, Marcel Breuer, Eileen Gray, Le Corbusier, Ludwig Mies van der Rohe, and Frank Lloyd Wright revolutionized the built world and how we live in it. Their work rejected historical precedents, prioritizing function over tradition, and their experimentation with new forms, materials, and techniques transformed our living spaces and lifestyles and fundamentally changed the way we think about design.

Du nord au sud du Portugal, les édifices resplendissent grâce aux reflets des azulejos. Ces carreaux de faïence polychromes, initialement à dominante bleue, sont l’élément constant de l’architecture portugaise depuis plusieurs siècles. Médaillons religieux au-dessus des linteaux, frises encadrant portes et fenêtres, lambris tapissant de longs murs, habillage de façades entières, ils brillent de leur présence à chaque coin de rue et nul ne peut échapper à leur pouvoir de fascination. Lointains descendants des céramiques perses, les premiers azulejos hispano-mauresques connus datent du xve siècle. Depuis cinq siècles, les azulejos sont le miroir du Portugal. Si sur eux ont glissé le soleil, la pluie et les jours, ils ont fixé, au fil de l’histoire du pays, l’esprit et le goût de toute une nation, au point d’en devenir un des symboles les plus reconnaissables. Passant par plusieurs périodes, dont celle de la fin du xviie siècle où les azulejos sont exclusivement peints en bleu cobalt, au xixe siècle ils connaissent une production industrielle et inventive qui accompagnera le revêtement total en azulejos à patron des murs extérieurs des édifices. Cette mode – et choix aussi lié à l’humidité – est très présente au nord du Portugal et notamment à Porto. Belle ville, Porto offre au passant un choix surprenant de styles. Les lambris d’azulejos suivent les grands courants stylistiques : romantisme, purement hygiénique, Art nouveau, Art déco, estampage géométrique, abstrait, publicitaire, etc. Ce livre propose un aperçu de ces fresques et façades curieuses et uniques que le visiteur pourra découvrir au gré de ses promenades, et précise leur localisation dans la ville. Un livre témoin, découverte ou souvenir de cet art de l’azulejo dans lequel Porto excelle.

Radical Design was launched by art, architecture, and design students in Italy in the mid-1960s. What started as a youthful rally against the establishment and a rejection of design norms became a movement that brought together avant-garde thinkers and makers across the country.Through furniture and objects as well as public innovations, the Radicals projected design’s new era as equal parts Pop Art, play, Surrealism, and futurism. Told through exclusive interviews, unreleased photographs, original drawings and artwork unearthed from personal archives, "SuperDesign" explores this period of design that played out against the era’s social and political turmoil.

Alliant style et rigueur, il a traité en profondeur des thèmes et évolutions de style majeurs en matière de design industriel, de produit, de structure et d’intérieur. Dans cette nouvelle réédition des tous les numéros des années 1960, le magazine suit les merveilleux projets audacieux et pratiques d’une décennie grisée par le frisson futuriste et l’explosion de la pop culture. Synthétiques et plastiques font leur entrée sur scène, entraînant un design radicalement nouveau, alors que les notions conventionnelles d’élégance laissent la place à des formes expérimentales inédites. Pour qu’une œuvre figure dans le magazine, elle devait allier fonctionnalité, clarté spatiale, persuasion intellectuelle, originalité pertinente et/ou beauté. Parmi les projets et professionnels retenus figurent les mouvements d’anti-design et de design radical, Ray et Charles Eames, Gae Aulenti, Kenzo Tange, Verner Panton, Achill et Pier Giacomo Castiglioni, Ettore Sottsass, Carlo Scarpa, Angelo Mangiarotti, Cesare Maria Casati et Eero Saarinen.
