Die überarbeitete und erweiterte Neuausgabe verzeichnet chronologisch nach Jahrzehnten gegliedert mehr als 390 Objekte, die seit 1920 entstanden und auf den Markt gekommen sind, mit Bild, kurzem Text und weiteren detaillierten Angaben und Daten. Ergänzt werden die Einträge durch einen einordnenden Essay. Es ist ebenso ein handliches Nachschlagewerk für Innenarchitektinnen und Fachhändler als auch Ratgeber und Inspiration für Sammlerinnen und Designfans. Die Neuausgabe wird zudem ergänzt durch den zusätzlichen zweiten Band Neue Schweizer Möbel - Aktuelle Positionen . Dieser wirft einen vertieften Blick auf das aktuelle Schaffen zeitgenössischer Designerinnen und Designer. Er zeigt deren oftmals prozessuale Herangehensweise und ihr Ausloten unterschiedlichster gestalterischer Möglichkeiten. Dies bringt immer wieder innovative Lösungen hervor, die sich den Zwängen einer seriellen Produktion entziehen. Eine spürbare Lust am Experimentieren, auch mit neuen und ungewohnten Materialien, belebt diese Szene, in der spezialisiertes Handwerk und Gestaltungswissen in der Suche nach kreativen Lösungen zusammenfinden.

Highlights from 20 years of furniture and product design by leading French luminary Noé Duchaufour-LawranceDesigner Noé Duchaufour-Lawrance's (born 1974) training in both sculpture and furniture design is evident throughout his eclectic body of work. His architectural designs, seen in places such as the Sketch restaurant in London or the Air France business lounge at Paris-Charles de Gaule airport, evoke the natural movement of water and wind with curved edges and smooth surfaces. Each piece of furniture in Duchaufour-Lawrance's oeuvre, whether it be a chair, lamp or sofa, is characterized by a clear attention to the piece's overall dramatic effect as well as a fine craftsmanship in every detail. Most recently, he collaborated with the crystal manufacturer Saint-Louis to create the Folia collection of luxury lighting fixtures and furniture. This publication presents a number of Duchaufour-Lawrance's most striking designs, and reveals his new project in which he deftly combines design with craftmanship.
