The yellow labels of the House Veuve Clicquot Ponsardin have become global icons, evoking excellence in champagne. By coincidence, Madame Clicquot named her daughter Clémentine, never suspecting that the labels of her champagne would one day be defined by that shining optimistic hue. The Veuve Clicquot Yellow is a subtle mix of golden yellow and orange. Its exceptional pigments give it unequalled charm and elegance. A symbol of wisdom and eternity, recalling the vivid brushstrokes of Gauguin and Rothko, the Veuve Clicquot Yellow is the supreme luxury, ushering in a breath of life, and a taste of metamorphosis.

Le Corbusier is the architect of the 20th century. His perpetual interest in the lifestyle of his contemporaries and his artistic dimension make him stand out among other masters and constitute his genius. In the 1930s, he built the famous Purist Villas sculpture-houses that are still fascinating today. He invented comfort and space in the cells of his Unites d'habitation, radiant cities that are often deprecated but rarely equaled. He turned concrete into a noble material. He built a chapel as moving as a cathedral, a hut beyond perfection, and even an entire city in Northern India. A pragmatic and visionary architect, Le Corbusier shook up our era with his vast and ever changing body of work, which still permeates our everyday life.

Architecture

The popularity enjoyed today by the French furniture designer Pierre Paulin traces its roots back to the Pop era, when Paulin incarnated the Pop aesthetic perfectly in his unique and revolutionary chairs. It was during the early 1960s, when Andy Warhol was exhibiting his controversial Pop art, and Brigitte Bardot was redefining sexual freedom, that Pierre Paulin designed his non-conformist chairs, changing radically the look of our interiors. Innovative and yet steeped in his times, a joyful Modernist, he stages the body, and covers his egg-shaped chairs with mushrooms, oraange slices, flower petals, tongues, cough drops, sea shells, waves, half-open lips and more. Sexy, playful, exuberant yet comfortable, his furniture is above all supple and lively. This new entry in the Dis Voir design series presents his work with color images as well as critical texts.

History & Criticism

An important figure of modernism in the 1930s, and the principal protagonist of organic design in the 1950s, Charlotte Perriand was a true 20th century pioneer. Although her name has long been inseparable from that of Le Corbusier, in this volume, Charlotte Perriand is brought to a new light as her vital energy as well as the simple, rigorous, and natural forms of her furniture and integrated spaces are examined. Ultimately, this is the portrait of a free and generous woman, with a fascinating and active life, whose accomplishments continue to embellish our everyday life.

Bisazza s story is an Italian miracle that came to life through the joint efforts of a father and his children. With unerring instinct and great pragmatism, by collaborating with prestigious designers and developing sophistication and innovation, Bisazza modernized an age-old craft with contemporary style. In fifty years, the Bisazza family was able to establish a mosaic pedigree, a legacy in art that often takes centuries. Bright colors, daring combinations, enchanting trompe-l oeuil, high-kitsch borders, and cutting-edge combinations: by bringing together tradition and inventiveness, Bisazza has turned simple geometry into magic.

Decorative Arts & Design

Over the past two decades Elizabeth Garouste and Mattia Bonetti have become one of the most recognizable and sought after names in international design. Rejecting functionalism and standardization in favor of a marriage of primitivism and elegance, their furniture, objects and interior designs are extravagant, theatrical, baroque, surreal. Their projects include the headquarters for Christian Lacroix, perfume containers for Nina Ricci, textiles for Bouchara, the famous Barbare chair, Montpelier's tramway, and Beverly Hill's La Maison du Cigar. One of their most outrageous pieces - The Extroverted Kitchen - a gigantic bean-shaped block with integrated oven and sink covered entirely in gold is part of the permanent collection of New York's Guggenheim Museum. 
Produced with an extravagance worthy of its subject matter, this hardcover edition presents a breathtaking look at twenty years of groundbreaking design through dozens of full-page color illustrations.
