Dans les photographies de Lucien Hervé l'ombre et la lumière forment des contrastent riches et parfois violents, des compositions où se retrouvent sans doute les traces proches ou lointaines des recherches du Bauhaus ou des constructivistes, en tous cas le goût de réinterprétation ou de structuration du monde, de l'invention permanente.

Foreclosed: Rehousing the American Dream

At fast, here is the first book of reference on the works of Pierre Paulin, a major figure in the French design world in the second half of the 20th century. Analyzing Pierre Paulin's career from many different angles, this book, rather than a "catalogue raisonné," is a genuine tool for reflection. It presents a rigorous selection of significant pieces, some never before published, including over seventy drawings and plans from the designer's archives. From The Tongue to the Ribbon Chair, the now iconic seats imagined by Pierre Paulin are today embedded in our collective unconscious. His original approach to techniques and aesthetics establish him firmly among those who made international design history. Excelling in the development of electric shavers as well as in the renovation work on the French President's residence, the Élysée Palace, and the Louvre, responding with equal passion to commissions from private individuals, government and industry, Pierre Paulin is furthermore a forerunner in interior architecture and staging, in the creation of furniture and industrial objects, and as art director and agency head.
