Sinopse
In early 2008, Brussels' Royal Museums of Art and History hosted Beauty: Singular-Plural, Belgium's fifth Design Triennial. The exhibition put contemporary Flemish design in the international spotlight through a series of investigations on the themeof Beauty. This sumptuous volume captures the spirit of the triennial through essays, overviews and, in particular, an exquisitely illustrated investigation of Beauty through a selection of chairs and dishes respectively, each of which begins with anarchetype of the object and ends with a lavishly elaborated or atypical example. These telling juxtapositions are rounded out with a limited selection of complementary historical and contemporary objects which convey a certain unity or heterogeneityinherent to the concept of Beauty. All of the historical works were carefully chosen by a roster of Belgium's top designers.
