Perfect reason flees all extremity, and leads one to be wise with sobriety.

"Dutch for The Style (pronounced the same), De Stijl was the name of a group of artists and architects who gathered around the largely theoretical architect Theo van Doesburg. During the tumultuous decade following World War I, De Stijl artists set out to create a universal style in painting, architecture and design, using rectangles and squares in flat planes of bold primary colors and black, gray and white, all carefully orchestrated with straight lines. The compelling geometric paintings of Piet Mondrian and equally striking furniture of Gerrit Rietveld have become oft-quoted classics of 20th-century design.

"La Chaise Rouge et Bleue du Néerlandais Gerrit Rietveld construite en 1918
et peinte en 1923 a bouleversé le vocabulaire du mobilier comme celui de
l'architecture. Ce documentaire perce le mystère de ce siège de pure création,
érigé en utopie."

When contemplating a work of art it is possible to perceive if it has been created according to the eye or to the spirit, in other words, if it projects three-dimensional reality or spiritual n-dimensionality.

Arch.Gerrit Thomas Rietveld
UNESCO World Heritage
"The Rietveld Schröder House is considered 'an important and unique icon of western architectural history' and 'a masterpiece of human creative ability' by UNESCO, which placed the house on the world heritage list at the end of the year 2000. The house was built in 1924 by the Utrecht architect and designer Gerrit Thomas Rietveld (1888-1964). The Rietveld Schröder House is the only building to have been built completely in accordance with the architectural principles of De Stijl."

Dia-delos : Création de meubles et agencement de magasins
"Ils sont installés à Felletin depuis 2004. A l’origine, Yvan et Jean Sébastien se sont associés pour créer et fabriquer de l’ameublement. Ils ont également développé une partie agencement de magasins. C’est cette dernière activité qui leur permet de vivre et d’affiner leurs créations. L’idée est de mettre sur le marché des meubles simples, issus de matériaux de récupération avec une forte empreinte écologique. Ils essayent d’utiliser du bois déjà coupé, respectant à la fois le matériau et l’environnement en dépensant le moins d’énergie possible pour la fabrication et le transport. Finalement, l’idée est d’arriver à un coût réduit pour des objets utiles et agréables. Yvan et Jean-Sébastien partent du principe que nous n’aurons peut être pas très longtemps le luxe d’acheter des produits à bas prix venus d’extrême orient. Un jour, nous serons peut être heureux de trouver des meubles simples, pas cher, et pas obligatoirement composés de panneaux de particules. "

"Ben Waechter, who’s Z-Haus is a highlight of the 11xDesign tour, has worked not only for Brad Cloepfil but spent seven years at the Renzo Piano Building Workshop in Genoa, Italy. Z-Haus is shaped like an ordinary three story box on the outside. But the uniqueness comes within, where the architect fashioned a series of flexible spaces stacked in parallel at half-story intervals. From the ground floor kitchen up a half-flight of stairs, for example, is medium sized space that could be a living room, den or bedroom. Sliding doors allow the room to be completely enclosed from the stairway or to remain an open public area. Moving up another half-level is an identically proportioned space on the other half of the house. Standing in the stairway, site lines connect you to the spaces both below and above.
“It’s difficult to do a highly site-specific building with high-quality systems and compete from a price-point standpoint in a market typically comprised with generic infill,” Waechter says of the 11xDesign collective. “So to be able to share research on materials and methods, craft, contractor names, it helps.” For example, Waechter’s Z-Haus uses a rain screen technology uncommon in residences. He got information and encouragement from Martin and from another 11xDesign firm, Seed Architecture Studio. Seed has also shared its experiments with structurally insulated panel technology on its accordingly named SIPs House.
“People are more willing to do that here,” Waechter says. “First to strike out on their own at all as architects, but then to develop their own projects and then to collaborate with their competitors. Our architect friends in other cities don’t have that as much.”

"Think simple" as my old master used to say - meaning reduce the whole of its parts into the simplest terms, getting back to first principles.”

(American Architect and Writer, the most abundantly creative genius of American architecture. His Prairie style became the basis of 20th century residential design in the United States, 1867-1959)

"To whom does design address itself: to the greatest number, to the specialist of an enlightened matter, to a privileged social class? Design addresses itself to the need."

"Charles & Ray Eames show their then-new masterpiece on the Arlene Francis "Home" show broadcast on the NBC television network in 1956."
