Abstract

One of the most celebrated, prolific, and unorthodox architects and designers of the twentieth century, Eero Saarinen has become a beacon of American modernism. While famous for his sculptural and bold architecture, such as the Gateway Arch in St. Louis, Missouri and the TWA Terminal at the John F. Kennedy International Airport in New York, Eero Saarinen: Furniture for Everyman is the first monograph to focus exclusively on his furniture designs. A self-declared "form-giver," his furniture, like his architecture, is characterized by its sleek and expressive forms. Taken into production by the furniture company Knoll, which was co-owned by his friend Florence Knoll, Saarinen's designs were trend-setting and revolutionary. As many of them continue to be produced today, such as the well-known and loved Womb chair and his Pedestal Collection, they are ubiquitous. Featuring rare and never-before-seen archival photographs that span Saarinen's technical work to his personal life, a preface by Florence Knoll, and a piece by designer and Saarinen protégé Niels Diffrient, Eero Saarinen: Furniture for Everyman is the authoritative and comprehensive guide to the furniture designs and legacy of the modern master

Abstract

Jules Wabbes (1919-1974) est l’un des plus éminents créateurs belges de meubles de l’après-guerre. Principalement connu pour son mobilier de bureau, qui a équipé les locaux de Glaverbel, de la Royale Belge et du Foncolin, il reste malgré tout inconnu du grand public. L’exposition offre pour la première fois un aperçu complet de son travail de designer, de ses premiers modèles, comme le tabouret Anna David-Marber, au mobilier qu’il a conçu pour les logements d’étudiants de Louvain-la-Neuve. Une attention spéciale est accordée à l’immeuble Foncolin, qui met particulièrement en valeur l’ingéniosité de Jules Wabbes, ainsi qu’à ses participations successives aux Triennales de Milan de 1957 et 1960. En plus de dessins et de tirages originaux, l’exposition présente des meubles uniques, dont plusieurs prototypes sont montrés pour la première fois au public.
