THE SAGAS OF
DESIGN HOUSES
Because in design, just like in fashion, there are great creators. Who have created iconic brands. Their names are Florence and Hans Knoll, René Lalique, James Dyson, Anna and Giulio Castelli, Claudio Luti. Or Fernand Roche and Albert Chouchan, Antoine Roset. And also Thierry Hermès, Ingvar Kamprad, Erika and Willi Fehlbaum….
These creators have lived through eras and events that pushed them forward or held them back for a while… In any case, they accompanied all the evolutions and revolutions of our society through the houses they created. What is less known is their story. And often, what a story!
That of men and women who probably never imagined they would go this far! Who built empires while living a life punctuated by twists, dramas, and joys. These creators have left their mark on our everyday objects, and some are even part of our national or universal heritage today…
With Le Dessous des Objets, discover their adventures, their creative quests, their successes, and also their failures… Discover how creation continues today in the factories, workshops, and plants they built. How and why they evolved over time.
