‎Frans Van Praet, De Jaarringen / The Year Rings‎

‎Hardcover with dusjacket, HB, 295 x 235 mm, 512 p, throughout colour illustrations.ENG / NL edition. ISBN 9789491819780. Designer, kunstenaar en architect Frans Van Praet (1937) is vooral bekend om de interieurinrichting van het Belgisch Paviljoen op de wereldtentoonstelling in Sevilla (1992) en zijn iconische Sevillazitje. Dit lijvige boek, waarmee Van Praet zijn tachtigste verjaardag viert, bewijst nochtans dat zijn oeuvre heel wat rijker en verscheidener is dan wat het grote publiek van hem kent. Frans Van Praet werd geboren in 1937 in Sint-Amands aan de Schelde. Als jonge man vertoeft hij in het kunstenaarsmilieu rond Galerie De Zwarte Panter. Het is in deze context dat men zijn beeldend werk moet plaatsen: een Vlaams surrealisme, dat al woordspelend knipoogt met beelden. In zijn realisaties komt een boeiende ambiguiteit naar voren: verhalende exuberantie gaat hand in hand met de minder-is-meer-soberheid van het minimalisme. Deze beperking waarin men de meester herkent, is de hoofdlijn die Van Praet volgt wanneer hij gebruiksvoorwerpen ontwerpt. Zo mogelijk bepaalt hij ook graag mee de ruimte waarin de objecten zullen functioneren. Zijn creaties vormen een synthese van het ongewoon utilitaire en het potentieel van het materiaal. Hout is zijn lievelingsmateriaal. Bij doorgezaagd, eeuwenoud hout ziet men de jaarringen - de geschiedenis van het groeiproces‎

‎WOMAN-DESIGNED FURNITURE — ARCHAMBAUT, Aline‎

‎An album of gouache and watercolor paintings of furniture‎

‎Paris 1890. Oblong folio 395 x 260 mm. 135 drawings of ornate furniture in lead and watercolor highlighted in gum arabic on 104 leaves of heavy paper later pencil foliation including four mounted drawings on tinted paper and two smaller loose drawings one of the latter signed A. Archambaut del. both with notes of measurements and pattern or stock numbers the second with specifications of colors and material. No. 93 a bed apparently unfinished. Foxing and soiling to first and last leaves occasional light foxing elsewhere marginal soiling especially to first few leaves fol. 104 detached two drawings on fols. 15 and 25 with small abraded areas 5 other drawings with tiny abrasions or white flecks the rest of the drawings in fine condition. The drawings on guards bound in half shagreen and pebble-grained cloth rubbed spine gilt lettered “Album Meubles Fantaisies.â€<br /> <br /> A spectacular manuscript album of watercolor designs of colorfully decorated painted and inlaid furniture in Louis XV Louis XVI and Second Empire styles by a female artist and furniture designer.<br /> <br /> Depicted are commodes large and small tables desks cabinets wardrobes sideboards dressers armchairs mirrored stands stands holding manicure sets multi-drawered sécrétaires beds clocks and even bellows and brooms for the chimney. Most are highly ornate and include colorful painted or inlaid decoration meticulously rendered often in minute detail by the artist-designer. With their cabriole legs serpentine curves and lavish inlay and marquetry these delightful creations express to a sometimes impractical degree the late 19th-century vogue for Louis XV and Louis XVI-style furniture. <br /> <br /> The artist can be identified as Aline Anne Archambault née Carrausse 1847-1908 thanks to the one signed drawing  loosely inserted which matches stylistically those of the album.  The only child of the Paris furniture designer Jean Marie Carrausse Archambault moved in artistic and artisanal circles: in 1877 she married Arthur Eugène Archambaut a graveur ciseleur or engraver of luxury metalwork; the four witnesses at their marriage were his uncle a sculptor; his cousin a printer; and two friends identified respectively as a printer and a furniture maker this information from Geneanet.org. The Victoria and Albert Museum holds six furniture drawings by her also signed with her first initial and last name and a few lithographs after her one of the drawings V&A accession number E.284-1952 has an additional printed signature “P. Levant Carrausse del.†clearly a member of her family. Since Aline was married and died in the 4th arrondissement in Paris it is likely that this album was created there. <br /> <br /> The title on the binding “Album of Furniture Fantasies†implies that at least some of the pieces were not intended to be built: they abound in bright colors and witty details such as the tree-branches wrapping around two basket stands fol. 17 or the wildly ornate bed with which the album ends. While the element of fantasy in these accomplished paintings is thus clear many probably did function as specimens of furniture that could be ordered from members of the artist’s entourage of furniture makers. This is evident from the two inserted drawings both of chests of drawers which have measurement notes and stock numbers. One has the inkstamped name “G. Cauvet†on the verso.<br /> <br /> The archival records indicate that Aline lost a daughter in infancy in 1877 when she was 30. She had no other children. The ebullient drawings in this album betray no hint of tragedy and it is tempting to view them as a work of youth before shadows arrived to dim the joy of creation.<br /> <br /> “The best known of the nineteenth-century revivals was that for Louis XV and Louis XVI furniture. The Louis XV revival intensified during the Second Empire when it departed so much from the 18th-c. prototype that it is best called `Rococo’.†H. Osborne ed. The Oxford Companion to the Decorative Arts 1988 p. 359 unknown‎

‎Xavier Lust Cristina Didero‎

‎Xavier Lust. Design Stories‎

‎Hardcover, 192 pagina's, English, 320 x 240 mm, perfect copy, . ISBN 9789058565365. Xavier Lust is certainly one of the most relevant characters on the contemporary design scene. His distinct and essential approach to design, his ingenious and refined touch, and his ability to synthesise clearly imply a special talent. The great John Keats wrote: A thing of beauty is a joy forever; its loveliness increases; it will never pass into nothingness . For Xavier Lust, dedication to beauty is the answer to eternity and this forever is actually built everyday through constant work, research and curiosity. Always focused on innovation and research, specifically tension and induced motion, he likes to experiment, explore and discover the natural transformations of materials. On the strength of his experience with metal, he challenges all kind of materials, challenging himself too in the process. Xavier Lust pushes the boundaries of technical possibilities while making a statement with each of his pieces and overriding preconceived ideas. Design Stories aims to give a wide sense of Lust's work in the different fields of design from creation to production to final destination.‎
