THE TIME OF OBJECTS
Through portraits of the personalities who brought out the practices and culture of design in France from the 1950s, but also emblematic design projects and flagship everyday objects, this book aims to tell the story of the genesis of this profession which accompanies a society which sees the emergence of new lifestyles.
An unpublished and crucial story for understanding the challenges of contemporary industry and design, this book is a cornerstone in the collection of the Cité du design editions, essential for the future designers of tomorrow, for the historiographers of practices and lifestyles, but also for everyone who is interested in the history of our objects, from major French brands such as SEB or Calor. From the Salon des Arts ménages to the great functionalist theories, it is a body of trades that is assembled and modulated during these sumptuous decades.
