Nathalie Loutre Du Pasquier Bücher

Nathalie Du Pasquier started drawing as soon as she met her husband George Sowden in 1979 in Milan. She was introduced to the world of design and shortly after, in 1981, became a founding member of the iconic postmodern design movement Memphis. From 1981 to 1987 she didn't stop drawing. Every day she would draw a whole new modern world, from very small items like jewelry to entire cities. This world only existed in her head but would eventually be developed into real pieces for the Memphis exhibitions.This unique book is the first and definitive compilation of all the unpublished drawings from those years, which had been sitting in the drawers of Nathalie's studio for over 30 years. Organized by the smallest objects to the biggest and divided into chapters, each with a text by Nathalie, it has been carefully edited and designed by Apartamento magazine's co-founder Omar Sosa together with Nathalie Du Pasquier.Don't Take These Drawings Seriously is an excellent reference for future generations and a welcome document of an important period in modern design.

Si de tout temps les femmes ont travaillé tout en ayant des enfants, aujourd'hui elles sont de plus en plus nombreuses à exercer leur activité à l'extérieur de chez elles. Et les transformations de la famille conduisent la plupart d'entre elles à confier leurs enfants à des professionnels de l'accueil éducatif. Le mouvement féministe, ces dernières décennies, s'est attaché à l'émancipation de la femme et à la construction de la parité avec les hommes. Aujourd'hui, il apparaît important de repenser la maternité et la prise en charge du jeune enfant à partir de la question de la place des femmes dans la société. C'est cette interrogation qui est ici soumise à des historienne, sociologue, médecin, psychiatre, psychologues et psychanalyste.
