Résumé:
Designing Modern Britain demonstrates how interior design, ceramics, textiles, and furniture craft of the twentieth century contain numerous hallmark examples of British design. The book explores topics connected to the British design aesthetic, including the spread of international modernism, the eco-conscious designs of the 1980s and 1990s, and the influence of celebrity product designers and their labels. Buckley also investigates popular nostalgia in recent times, considering how museum and gallery exhibitions have been instrumental in reimagining Britain’s past and how the heritage industry has fueled a growing trend among designers of employing images of British culture in their work. A thoughtful look at the aesthetic heritage of a nation that has left its footprint around the globe, Designing Modern Britain will be a valuable text for students and professionals in design.

Résumé:
"Seventy-nine short essays on design" brings together the best of designer Michael Bierut's critical writing—serious or humorous, flattering or biting, but always on the mark. Bierut is widely considered the finest observer on design writing today. Covering topics as diverse as Twyla Tharp and ITC Garamond, Bierut's texts pull design culture into crisp focus. He touches on classics, like Massimo Vignelli and the cover of The Catcher in the Rye, as well as newcomers, like McSweeney's Quarterly Concern and color-coded terrorism alert levels. Along the way Nabakov's Pale Fire; Eero Saarinen; the paper clip; Celebration, Florida; the planet Saturn; the ClearRx pill bottle; and paper architecture all fall under his pen. His experience as a design practitioner informs his writing and gives it truth. In "Seventy-nine short essays on design", designers and nondesigners alike can share and revel in his insights.

Résumé:
Durant l'entre-deux-guerres, l'habitat bruxellois connaît une expansion considérable. Coexistent à cette époque deux grands courants : l'un résolument moderniste et avant-gardiste, dans la mouvance du Stijl et du Bauhaus, et inspiré par des novateurs, tels Walter Gropius ou Le Corbusier ; l'autre, à la fois réaction à l'Art nouveau et son prolongement naturel... qui se verra consacré lors de l'Exposition des Arts décoratifs, en 1925, à Paris. Cette évolution formelle s'appuie sur un progrès technique dans de nombreux domaines et sur la mise en œuvre de matériaux nouveaux, béton armé, brique de verre, acier, aluminium. Dans le même temps, l'habitat lui-même s'enrichit du concept de cité-jardin et voit se multiplier les immeubles d'appartements. Tous ces aspects - conceptuels, formels, stylistiques, techniques, culturels et sociaux - sont illustrés dans le présent ouvrage par des intérieurs choisis pour leur pertinence, tant des hôtels de prestige que des logements plus modestes, tous représentatifs de la façon de vivre et de l'art de construire de cet âge d'or. Illustré, cet ouvrage présente des intérieurs bruxellois typiques de l'entre-deux-guerres et d'aujourd'hui ;et y restitue dans toutes ses composantes le contexte de leur développement.

Résumé:
A design classic is an industrially manufactured object with timeless aesthetic value. It serves as a standard of its kind and, despite the year in which it was designed, is still up to date. The collection presented in these three volumes has been put together by a group of experts following the above criteria. The objects are presented chronologically, beginning with an elegant pair of Chinese bonsai scissors from the early 1600s, still in production today, and ending with Jasper Morrison`s recent brunch set, which is destined to become a classic. The book includes not only classic objects created by internationally renowned designers, such as Breuer, Le Corbusier, Dreyfuss, Eames, Yanagi and Castiglioni, to name but a few, but also anonymously designed pieces, such as the clothes peg, the deck chair, the corkscrew and the chopstick, which, in spite of lacking a specific designer, have achieved such perfection in design and functionality that they have eliminated the possibility of improvement. Each product is presented on two, four or six pages and accompanied by a text. The texts provide a historical context, with information about the development of the design, and an explanation as to why that particular design is important. The texts also uncover curious anecdotes about the design, and the process involved in creating it. In many cases the products are described with details that have not been published before, informing the reader about materials and process, in addition to providing insights into each designer's oeuvre.

Résumé:
The Wiener Werkstätte, founded in Vienna in 1903 by Josef Hoffmann and Koloman Moser, became the international trademark for art as well as arts-and-crafts in the twentieth century. The history of the Wiener Werkstätte is told in this volume, which features historic photographs (some of them published for the first time here), documents and original texts selected by experts from the MAK (where the Wiener Werkstätte archives have been housed since 1955). Full-page illustrations feature outstanding examples of Wiener Werkstätte objects, covering architecture, furniture, ceramics, glass, books, posters, postcards, carpets, jewelry, fashion and print design. The book also focuses on the innovative "total concept" used by this avant-garde association to establish an early "consumer culture," since the Werkstätte was one of the first organizations to develop a corporate identity that followed a product through every stage from concept and development to marketing.
