Fuck the marketing! Dinamiche espressive, criticità emotive e Merchandelirium design
brossura Gli utenti contemporanei, colti e smaliziati, cedono e lottano, con perpetuo impiego di forze, ora consistenti ed ora labili, forti pure di questioni energetiche, come quelle legate all'entropia, ed alla propagandata attività di erosione delle fisionomie e dell'equilibrio di ogni elemento che possa trovarsi a poter collidere con il nostro modus vivendi, di ogni oggetto anche debolmente interiorizzato capace di immetterci nella traiettoria di un consumo irreversibile e breve, dalla vita corta, nel timore di poter subire chissà quali conseguenze dall'azione di svuotamento contagioso, proveniente da un oggetto scaduto, divenuto improvvisamente a così basso contenuto calorico.

Health & Therapy design
brossura Le moderne tecniche di indagine endoscopica, la chirurgia protesica e la manipolazione genetica, hanno favorito un processo di revisione del valore morale e ideologico del corpo umano, violato nella sua integrità sacrale e scompaginato nelle sue componenti essenziali. Il superamento della pelle ha spostato i confini del corpo in una dimensione più profonda ed immateriale, nella quale spazio interiore ed esteriore si sovrappongono. L'antica figura dello sciamano, interprete dei fenomeni naturali e soprannaturali, posto al servizio di una comunità, muove da un percorso che conduce alla messa in atto di una Visione, producendo la ostensione di una sorta di verità proveniente da una dimensione altra, una dimensione dell'immaginario, una prefigurazione che proviene da una profonda esperienza, nata dalla osservazione degli elementi salienti dello scenario naturale di prossimità. Un modus operandi che produce la elargizione di una terapia benefica nei confronti dell'utente o, addirittura, di una intera collettività. Una attività, in cui possiamo rintracciare la nascita delle pratiche e dei processi di solvimento inerenti le problematiche semplici o, nel caso di una comunità, persino di problematiche complesse, che ha una grande affinità con le traiettorie di esercizio e di intervento proprie della figura odierna del designer.

Abraham and Rol
Hardcover, 176 pages, English, 305 x 235 mm, new book, with dustjacket, . ISBN 9782915542905. It is a rare species, but it exists, as '60s art critic Pascal Renous pointed out on the subject of artistic couples. This designer-decorator duo of Janine Abraham and Dirk-Jan Rol met at Jacques Dumond's studio in 1955. The couple shares the same love of precision, line and plain colours. Their earliest joint creations were first exhibited at the Salon des artistes decorateurs, in Paris. Their furniture, made of wicker, wood and aluminium, twice won prizes at the Salon des artistes decorateurs (a sideboard in 1956 and an armchair in 1958), garnering notice from the public and professionals alike. Jean Royere did not hesitate to use their emblematic Soleil armchair (gold medal at the 1958 Brussels World's Fair) in the decoration of the palace of the Shah of Iran, in Teheran. Their light and functional designs are available today, re-edited by Yota Design. Abraham & Rol were also interior designers and intervened in this capacity for both individual clients and large corporate clients, such as Yves Rocher and Saint-Gobain, with the same precision and sense of composition that define their furniture pieces. Finally, the couple also expressed their creativity through architecture, their mastery of this discipline enabling them to design some twenty houses from the 1960s through the 2000s in the Ile-de-France region. Their homes are genuine inhabited sculptures, of which certain have become truly emblematic.

Patrick Favardin / Guy Bloch-Champfort
Decorateur des Annees 60s-70s / The Decorators of the 1960s and 1970s
Hardback, 305x230mm, 336p, 380 bw and col. illustrations FRENCH edition. ISBN 9782915542776. the 60s and 1970s marked a sharp turning point in the history of decoration and furniture. Until that point, the world was confined to national and elitist forms of expression. At the beginning of the 1960s, the sector took its inspiration from Anglo-Saxon, Scandinavian, Italian and French decoration. Genres were combined in a frenzied desire to live in symbiosis with one's time. The progress of technology strengthened the conviction that the individual had unlimited freedom and aroused the desire to inhabit in a new manner. Forms became rounder, furniture was in sync with a warm, playful, and anticonformist universe. Colours and decorative motifs took on the brilliance and fantasies of Pop Art and psychedelia. The living environment was transformed into a waking dream in which luxurious furniture in original materials and surprising objects were mixed, associated, for the first time, with early furniture. The end of the 1970s marked the advent of a period in which beauty and classic elegance gave way to a host of expressions that were unclassifiable and rejected any hierarchy. The postmodern period had arrived. Composed of a long introduction that provides a synoptic view and 32 monographs that describe its many faces, this book invites the reader to discover an exceptionally creative period and revels through an abundant iconography. Les annees 60 et 70 sont indissociables dans l'histoire de la decoration et du mobilier. Elles marquent un tournant radical dans un monde jusqu'alors confine a des expressions nationales et elitistes. Tout eclate au debut des annees 60. La mode est a la fois d'inspiration anglosaxonne, scandinave, italienne et francaise. Les genres se melangent dans un desir effrene de vivre en symbiose avec son temps. Les progres de la technologie accreditent la conviction d'une liberte conquerante de l'individu et suscitent des desirs inedits d'une nouvelle maniere d'habiter, fut-ce dans des cellules de science-fiction. Les formes s'arrondissent, les sieges deviennent des tapis-sculptures qui permettent de se lover dans des univers chaleureux, ludiques et anticonformistes. Les couleurs et les motifs decoratifs epousent l'eclat et les delires du Pop' Art et du psychedelisme. L'espace d'habitation se transforme en reve eveille ou se melent un mobilier luxueux dans des materiaux inedits et des objets surprenants de toutes origines, associes, fait nouveau, a des meubles anciens. La fin des annees 70 marque l'avenement d'une epoque ou la beaute et l'elegance classique cedent le pas a une multitude d'expressions qui echappent a tout classement et a toute hierarchie. L'heure du post-modernisme a sonne. Compose d'une longue introduction qui en donne une vision synoptique et de trente-deux monographies qui decrivent ses multiples visages, ce livre rend intelligible une periode exceptionnellement creative et revele a travers une abondante iconographie, souvent inedite, sa formidable richesse esthetique. Une iconographie mise a jour, une nouvelle jaquette et trois nouveaux decorateurs viennent enrichir cette nouvelle edition.
