L'industrie automobile et la manière dont les voitures sont créées ont changé au-delà de toute reconnaissance au cours des cinquante dernières années. Alors que le design automobile était l’une des dernières pensées après la fin du travail des ingénieurs, il a évolué aujourd’hui en un design sophistiqué mis au point par des équipes internes aux talents multiples, qui peaufinent des identités de marque soigneusement élaborées. Patrick le Quément est l’un des designers visionnaires à l’avant-garde de cette révolution. Reconnu pour ses 22 années en tant que responsable de Renault Design, avec des modèles aussi prestigieux que Twingo, Scénic et Avantime, le Quément a connu une carrière de 50 ans, également chez Simca, Ford et Volkswagen- Audi. Quelque 60 millions de voitures à travers le monde portent désormais le cachet incontestable du Quément. Dans Design: Between the Lines, Le Quément décrit son parcours à travers cinq décennies de réflexions, d’actions, d’échecs et de succès. Il offre des commentaires fascinants sur le design et le processus de création, ainsi que sur certaines des marques automobiles extraordinaires qui composent notre héritage culturel commun. Sur un plan plus large, plus philosophique, il partage également son point de vue sur la vie en général et sur cet engin remarquable appelé «l’automobile», qui a tant influencé la vie de millions de personnes dans le monde entier depuis la fin du XIXe siècle jusqu’à nos jours. Présentés comme une série de 50 courts essais ou "perspectives", les observations astucieuses de Le Quément dans la rue, du studio de design et de son siège dans la salle de conférence donnent au lecteur un aperçu pénétrant et souvent amusant des travaux de haut niveau d'une société mondiale. l’industrie, ses triomphes et ses tragédies, et les faiblesses des décideurs responsables de sa gestion. Un texte complémentaire animé du journaliste automobile Stéphane Geffray accompagne chacun des points de vue de Le Quément, et des illustrations sont fournies par le designer automobile Gernot Bracht.

Hardback. Etat : New. Bracht, Gernot (illustrateur). The car industry and the way in which cars are created have changed beyond all recognition over the last half-century. Automotive styling was once the grudging afterthought when the engineers had finished their work. Now, following a short flirtation with exotic Italian design houses, it has evolved into sophisticated design carried out by multitalented in-house teams honing carefully crafted brand identities.One of the visionary designers at the forefront of that revolution has been Patrick le Quement. Most widely acclaimed for his 22 years in charge of Renault Design, resulting in such standout models as the Twingo, Scenic and Avantime, le Quement has enjoyed a 50-year career that has also taken in Simca, Ford and Volkswagen-Audi. In his foreword to the book, Stephen Bayley calls le Quement `perhaps the very most original designer working in the conservative car business at the turn of the millennium'. Some 60 million cars across the world now bear the unmistakable stamp of le Quement.Design: Between the Lines is not a straightforward autobiography; rather, le Quement charts his journey through five decades of thoughts, actions, failures and successes. He offers fascinating commentaries on design and the creative process, and on some of the extraordinary automotive brands that make up our shared cultural heritage. As Bayley notes, for le Quement, design is `as much a matter of thinking as a matter of drawing'. On a broader, more philosophical level, le Quement also shares his views about life in general and that remarkable contraption called `the automobile', which has so influenced the lives of millions of people the world over from the late 1800s to the present day. Presented as a series of 50 brief essays or `perspectives', le Quement's thoughtful and astute observations from the street, from the design studio and from his seat in the boardroom give the reader a penetrating and often amusing insight into the high-level workings of a global industry, its triumphs and tragedies, and the foibles of the decision-makers responsible for running it. A lively complementary text by the automotive journalist Stephane Geffray accompanies each of le Quement's perspectives, and illustrations are provided by the automobile designer Gernot Bracht. Design: Between the Lines will appeal to all motoring fans and enthusiasts of good design. As Chris Bangle, the former Director of BMW Design, remarks: `Few car designers have had a career so filled with innovative successes that they have inspired a whole industry; fewer still have the skills to share it. Engaging and revealing, Patrick relates his personal experience and deep knowledge of car design in a very enjoyable manner.'. N° de réf. du vendeur LU-9781858946764
