From Wonder Bowls to Ice-Tup molds to Party Susans, Tupperware has become an icon of suburban living. Tracing the fortunes of Earl Tupper's polyethylene containers from early design to global distribution, Alison J. Clarke explains how Tupperware tapped into potent commercial and social forces, becoming a prevailing symbol of late twentieth-century consumer culture.Invented by Earl Tupper in the 1940s to promote thrift and cleanliness, the pastel plasticwares were touted as essential to a postwar lifestyle that emphasized casual entertaining and celebrated America's material abundance. By the mid-1950s the Tupperware party, which gathered women in a hostess's home for lively product demonstrations and sales, was the foundation of a multimillion-dollar business that proved as innovative as the containers themselves. Clarke shows how the "party plan" direct sales system, by creating a corporate culture based on women's domestic lives, played a greater role than patented seals and streamlined design in the success of Tupperware.

This new volume addresses the lasting contribution made by Central European émigré designers to twentieth-century American design and architecture. The contributors examine how oppositional stances in debates concerning consumption and modernism's social agendas taken by designers such as Felix Augenfeld, Joseph Binder, Josef Frank, Paul T. Frankl, Frederick Kiesler, Richard Neutra, and R.M. Schindler in Europe prefigured their later adoption or rejection by American culture. They argue that émigrés and refugees from fascist Europe such as György Kepes, Paul László, Victor Papanek, Bernard Rudofsky, Xanti Schawinsky, and Eva Zeisel drew on the particular experiences of their home countries, and networks of émigré and exiled designers in the United States, to develop a humanist, progressive, and socially inclusive design culture which continues to influence design practice today.

Réédition critique en français d'un ouvrage absolument précurseur et fondamental pour l'inclusion des problématiques sociales, environnementales et des enjeux de durabilité dans les démarches de conception : le manifeste d'une reconfiguration radicale du domaine du design, de ses formes mais surtout de sa mission. Paru en 1971, publié dans plus de vingt langues, mais indisponible en français depuis 1974, Design for the Real World est, bien plus qu'un classique de l'histoire du design, le livre-manifeste de tout design politique et écologique. Il vise l'inclusion sociale plutôt que le profit monétaire, lutte contre l'asservissement des besoins au marché, prône le respect de l'environnement plutôt que l'exploitation illimitée de la nature et de ses ressources. Cette réédition critique de la traduction française, accompagnée d'essais d'Alison J. Clarke et Emanuele Quinz, offre un aperçu du programme de Victor Papanek : confier au design une mission révolutionnaire, qui, aujourd'hui plus que jamais, révèle son étonnante pertinence.
