Né en 1921, Robert Mathieu suit une formation de tourneur sur bronze à l?école Boulle mais il inventera quelques-uns des luminaires les plus exceptionnels de sa génération.Après l?urgence de la reconstruction d?après-guerre se remet en place, en France, toute une économie de l?habitat autour de la grande tradition française de la décoration et du mobilier. Une jeune génération issue des grandes écoles s?en empare et met en place les bases de ce que l?on appelle aujourd?hui le design soit la création au service de la production en série. Robert Mathieu les accompagne de sa créativité infinie et de sa technicité parfaite. Il pense des luminaires articulés pour éclairer chaque fonction de l?appartement moderne. Il manipule l?asymétrie comme personne et ses systèmes de double balancier restent uniques au monde. Cette première monographie sur Robert Mathieu est issue de la recherche de Pascal Cuisinier qui s?intéresse au design français d?après-guerre depuis le début des années 2000. À la fois scientifique et esthétique, ce travail entend faire découvrir l?oeuvre de Robert Mathieu tant aux néophytes qu?aux collectionneurs plus avertis et éclairer un peu plus cette période faste qu?ont vécu les arts décoratifs en France durant les Trente Glorieuses.

Buch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - An exquisite catalogue raisonné on the notoriously collectible lamps of France's premier midcentury lighting designerRobert Mathieu (1921-2002) was one of the greatest designers of French lighting, though he remains little known to the general public today--largely because of the sheer rarity of his pieces, which are highly sought after by collectors. Unlike most lighting designers, Mathieu not only designed but also produced his lighting works in his Parisian studio, in a very limited quantity--sometimes less than eight copies. Mathieu is remarkable for both his uniquely fecund imagination--he designed more than 200 models--as well as the consistent high quality of his pieces (his pieces remain in perfect condition today).Ten years in the making, this exquisite catalog presents all the known models of this lighting artist--many of which have never been seen--illustrated with ample studio photographs as well as other images from his life and career. All stages of his work are accounted for, from his early use of brass rod structures and double lamp shades to his later transition to lacquered aluminum reflectors. Regardless of his material or technique of choice, Mathieu's aesthetic preference for pure and supple lines shines through.

Unlike a traditional designer, Robert Mathieu not only designed his lights, but he made them, like an artist, in his studio on rue de Charenton in Paris. Here there is no publisher, but a dropper production close to that of a work of art, sometimes less than 8 copies. What is remarkable about Robert Mathieu is on the one hand his unique creativity in France, because he has designed more than 200 models, but also the very high quality of execution of his pieces which are still in perfect condition today. state.
