In line with the works on decorators of the 1940s, '50s, '60s, and
'70s, this book plunges us into the world of '80s and '90s. These
have witnessed unprecedented experiments in the world of design and
architecture. Composed of a rich introduction which gives a
synoptic vision and 38 monographs that describe its many faces,
this book makes and exceptionally creative period intelligible, and
reveals through an abundant iconography, often unpublished, its
formidable aesthetic richness. A new generation of designers stands
out; among them Shiro Kuramata, Philippe Starck, Ron Arad, Bob
Wilson, Elizabeth Garouste and Mattia Bonetti. All regenerate
creation by refusing the elitism of their predecessors and by
favouring the use of new materials. Some turn to recovery, such as
the Creative Salvage group, and offer inventive and provocative
furniture thanks to welding and assembly. Others, gathered in Italy
around Ettore Sottsass and Memphis, combine unexpected colours and
patterns to the playful use of plastic laminate. Sliding until the
end of the '90s, the achievements presented in this book mark the
desire for a dialogue between artistic references with a new
relationship to the industrial aspect, at the dawn of the 21st
century and its technological innovations. Text in English and
French.
