Résumé:
Cet entretien avec Andrea Branzi est issu d'une interviews réalisée pour France Culture et la série d'émissions A Voix Nue. Il y évoque sa propre carrière mais également l'histoire du design italien et explore les tendances du design actuel. Architecte, designer, théoricien, Andrea Branzi (né à Florence en 1938) vit et travaille à Milan depuis 1973. Il est l'un des théoriciens de l'architecture radicale italienne, laquelle influença toute une génération d'architectes, de Frank O. Gehry à Daniel Libeskind, de Rem Koolhaas à Bernard Tschumi. Il est membre fondateur du groupe Archizoom Associati avec lequel il propose, en 1967, un projet de ville sans fin, No-Stop City, où le mobilier urbain est le seul élément architecturant. Ses " Radical Notes ", publiées dans la revue Casabella participent au débat théorique de cette époque. De 1974 à 1976, Branzi est membre de Global Tools qui veut être un laboratoire expérimental pour la " créativité de masse ", une contre-école d'architecture et de design. De 1938 à 1987, il dirige la revue Modo. L'activité d'Andrea Branzi s'étend au design industriel, à l'architecture et à l'aménagement urbain. En 1987, il obtient le compas d'or pour l'ensemble de sa carrière. Andrea Benzi est également professeur associé à la faculté d'architecture et de design du Politecnico de Milan

Résumé:
Arriving in the United States in 1914, Viennese-born Paul T. Frankl (1886-1958) brought with him an outsider's fresh perspective and an enthusiasm for forging a uniquely American design aesthetic. In the years between the two world wars he, more than any other designer, helped shape the distinctive look of American modernism. This authoritative book draws on an extensive collection of unpublished documents and family papers and photographs to provide the first full account of Frankl's life and ideas. The book also explores the history of modern American design and the extent of Frankl's influence on its trajectory. In the early 1920s, Frankl opened a New York City shop that became an epicentre of American modernism. Over the next decades, his work encompassed everything from individual pieces of furniture and decorative accessories to entire interiors, and his style continuously evolved, from early 'Skyscraper' furniture to relaxed and casual designs favoured by the Hollywood elite in the 1930s to manufactured pieces for the mass market in the 1950s. The book charts the impact of Frankl's ideas on merchants and consumers, on his fellow designers, and on the changing look of American homes and workplaces. With close to 170 illustrations, "Paul T. Frankl and Modern American Design" is an essential reference on 20th-century design.

Résumé:
Ancienne collaboratrice de Denis Santachiara et de Philippe Starck, Matali Crasset est une des rares femmes designers connue internationalement. Elle crée sans relâche (mobilier, scénographie, architecture...). Bruce Benderson, écrivain américain et préfacier de cette troisième version, la qualifie d'ailleurs de génie créateur. En 2006, elle a été élue créatrice de l'année au Salon du meuble de Paris. Le travail de Matali Crasset, qui s'est imposé dans les années 1990, interroge notre cadre de vie pour en faire un espace de mobilité et d'expérimentation. Designer industriel de formation, ses réalisations l'ont amenée à repenser son métier et à développer des propositions chargées de sens. La notion de partage et de cohabitation sont des concepts inhérents à chacune de ses créations. Cette troisième version fait la part belle aux nouveaux projets, où elle intervient dans des domaines aussi variés que le design industriel, le graphisme, la scénographie ou l'architecture intérieure.

Membre du groupe Radi Designers de 1994 à 2003, Florence Doléac poursuit ensuite ses projets en solo. Elle inscrit son travail dans un espace interstitiel dans lequel le design dialogue avec l'art, et où ses modalités de présentation et de production oscillent entre un dispositif marchand et institutionnel. Florence Doléac observe et domestique notre quotidien avec un regard empreint de poésie et d'humour. Elle ne cherche pas à améliorer notre vie par un design fonctionnel, mais elle dissèque nos rites et nous interroge, tout en douceur, sur la fonction et l'inutilité des objets. La revendication de cette position peu commune lui confère une identité particulière.

Résumé:
Eliot Noyes (1910–77) was a remarkable figure in twentieth-century design. An architect who began his career working in the office of Walter Gropius and Marcel Breuer, he went on to become the first Director of the Industrial Design department at MoMA in the 1940s. From the late 1950s until his death in 1977 he was Consulting Director of Design for IBM, Mobil Oil, Westinghouse and Cummins Engine Company, and was responsible for bringing about a change in the way that these corporations, and others that followed, were to think about design and its impact on business. He enlisted pioneering designers, notably Charles Eames, Paul Rand, Ivan Chermayeff and Tom Geismar, to help him bring about innovative architectural, graphic and industrial design. He was personally responsible for the design of some notable twentieth-century classics, such as IBM’s Selectric typewriter and Mobil Oil’s service stations and petrol pumps. His own work includes architectural projects, such as the award-winning Noyes' family residence in Connecticut. This monograph traces the life of this unique architect, designer and businessman who devoted a great deal of his career to encouraging large American businesses to respect and develop policies that were rich in cultural expression. The author has had extended access to the Noyes' archive of personal as well as business projects, materials and letters, and he has carried out extended interviews with a great deal of Noyes' acquaintances and relations. His comprehensive and lively text is accompanied by archival and new colour photography, drawings, plans and a diverse range of documentary material, much of which is previously unpublished.

Résumé:
Illustrated with color photographs of Hoffmann's masterpieces- on their own and as parts of interiors-this monograph focuses on significant aspects of Hoffmann's career: his early years as a member of the Secessionist Movement and founder of the Vienna Workshops, his role in the intellectual rebellion that took place in Austria; and his progression toward a Modernist ethic. It takes readers through four dazzling interiors designed by Hoffmann and furnished with his signature pieces, including furniture, wall and floor coverings, textiles, lighting, ceramics, glassware and metalwork. The overall effect of these rooms is to be transported to a world in which form marries function, and simplicity and refinement reign supreme.
