Cartier : styles et stylos Hardcover – November 8, 2000 French Edition
Cartier Creative Writing by François CHAILLE
Flammarion, Paris, 2000 Published in French text.
Place of Publication: Paris, France
Language : French
Hardcover : 168 pages
From the creation of its first writing implements in 1868 to today's position as the world's second largest producer of fine writing instruments, Cartier has beautifully combined technical innovation with creative audacity. This volume features a comprehensive selection of pieces from Cartier's incredibly inventive repertoire-- pens, inkwells, mechanical pencils, calendars, stationary and other accessories-- dating from the middle of the 19th century to the present, weaving the story of Cartier's production as a "joaillier" into the broader fabric of the history of writing instruments and the famous clients who chose to use them. The historical pieces-- many of which are shown here for the first time-- are highly sought after by collectors, and even those made during the last decade are commanding record prices in the salesrooms. The Baron de Rothschild, J. P. Morgan, Mona Bismarck, the Duke and Duchess of Windsor, and Rudyard Kipling are among the distinguished clients who wrote with magnificent pens and pencils made of gold or platinum, incorporating diamonds, jade, sapphires, emeralds, lacquer, mother-of-pearl, or ingenious timepieces and calendars. One-of-a-kind pieces from New York, Paris and London are thoroughly documented and illustrated with photography specially commissioned for this book. The contemporary writing instruments featured here, from the famous Must to the recent Diabolo de Cartier demonstrate how the company's designers are using the company's long-standing traditions to remain at the forefront of imaginative pen and pencil design for the future. This eloquent testimony to the ingenuity and craftsmanship of Cartier's designers and craftsmen will be essential tocollectors of writing instruments and to all those interested in jewelry and the decorative arts.
Les instruments d'écriture, qui naquirent en Mésopotamie il y a cinq mille ans, connaissent aujourd'hui la plus radicale des révolutions technologiques. De l'antique pointe de roseau au clavier de l'ordinateur, ces outils pour compter, commercer, enseigner, transmettre et aimer, reflètent les civilisations comme aucun autre objet. Il y a mille façons de raconter leur histoire. Invité par Cartier - créateur d'objets d'écriture depuis 1868 - à évoquer cette légende, François Chaille s'est d'abord plongé dans les archives de la maison à Paris, Londres et New York. Dans ces vénérables registres où sont notés les noms de clients illustres et conservés dessins et photos, il a trouvé de quoi retracer toute l'histoire des objets d'écriture, depuis l'origine. Et les archives recèlent bien d'autres trésors, qui permettent d'évoquer aussi bien la nostalgie du porte-plume que la sensualité des matières précieuses de certains stylos ou la noblesse d'un papier à lettres. De ces archives ressurgit l'air du temps des années folles, à des princes tels l'Aga Khan, des hommes d'affaires tels John Pierpont Morgan, des femmes du grand monde telles Mona Bismarck, et surtout des écrivains, tels Guitry ou Kipling. En même temps se révèle l'extraordinaire savoir-faire de Cartier, qui sut répondre aux exigences de ces acheteurs de stylos avec la même créativité que la maison accordait aux somptueux joyaux. Enfin, pour décrire les temps présents, de la naissance des stylos Must au succès des Diabolo de Cartier d'aujourd'hui, François Chaille a quitté les archives pour rencontrer des créateurs bien vivants, dans les ateliers de la maison. C'est la passion de grands professionnels qui se lit ici, pour comprendre comment se conçoivent les plus beaux stylos du siècle nouveau.
