Le design, en tant que discipline professionnelle, est né dans un monde masculin, celui de l'industrie, des ingénieurs et des architectes. Les femmes ont longtemps été les grandes absentes du secteur.Quelques rares pionnières sont restées dans l'ombre de leur collaborateur et/ou de leur partenaire. Certaines ont pourtant joué un rôle clé dans l'histoire du mobilier et plus largement de l'habitat. Entre Rodin et Camille Claudel, on sait aujourd'hui faire la différence. Peut-on en dire autant entre Le Corbusier et Charlotte Perriand ? Une chose est sûre : près d'un siècle plus tard, elles occupent le premier plan. Créatrices indépendantes, éditrices, galeristes ou commissaires d'expositions, elles se sont emparées du design à tous les niveaux. De Marianne Brandt, icône du Bauhaus aux Tsé Tsé en passant par Zaha Hadid, Andrée Putman ou Matali Crasset, ce livre passe en revue les plus grands noms du design, de l'Art Nouveau à aujourd'hui.
Au cours du XXe siècle, le design est devenu incontournable.
Les designers modèlent notre quotidien. Dans certains cas, ils parviennent même à changer nos modes de vie. Marion Vignal et Cédric Morisset nous fournissent des clés pour mieux comprendre cette discipline, entre art et industrie. Designers, mouvements, techniques, marques, concepts, font l'objet de leur analyse pertinente. De Pierre Paulin à Charlotte Perriand ou Ettore Sottsass, d'Ikea à Kartell, du design scandinave au design italien, les deux auteurs nous racontent l'univers du design, son histoire, son évolution et son impact sur notre vie quotidienne.
