„Dans le vaste renouvellement politique, culturel et social auquel l'avant-garde a l'intention de procéder après la catastrophe de la première guerre mondiale, l'habitation et son aménagement représentent l'un des plus importants paradimes. C'est là que le programme du mondernisme se rapproche de la sphère d'expérience quotidienne du grand public.“ (C. Lichtenstein & A. Rüegg)
L'intéressante documentation que Gilbert Frey a réunie esquisse l'évolution du mobilier; elle évoque le rôle des personnes clés qui ont contribué à sa création, à sa fabrication et à sa diffusion.
"Inside the extensive cultural, political and social renewal, that the avant-garde planned after the catastrophy of World War II, the home and its furnishing was one of the most important paradigms. Here the modernist agenda was confronted with the sphere of everyday life of the majority." (C. Lichtenstein & A. Rüegg)
The author Gilbert Frey is known to be an expert on the swiss furniture design. In this catalogue he offers an extensive portrayal of the history, idea and future of furniture made in Switzerland.
