Paris-based Martin Szekely is one of the most acclaimed designers of his generation, working simultaneously for theindustry-with international companies such as Nestlé, Heineken, andHermès-on private commissions, and on limited-production creations.Since the beginning of the 1980s, his work has developed as a "returnto the source" of furniture, deploying an aesthetic drawn from thereduction of gestures and attention to materials, rather than through aform of minimalism, with which it is often associated. Combiningcutting-edge technology with conceptual simplicity, he uses materialssuch as concrete and wood, cork and marble. This monograph, one ofthe rare books about Martin Szekely, puts together an essay by Frenchart critic Elisabeth Lebovici and a text on Szekelys industrial designapproach by "Abitare" critic Anniina Koivu alongside unpublished notesby the designer. More than 200 images (installation views, close-ups,drawings) offer a complete overview on his work.
