An essential book for design enthusiasts!
A richly illustrated reference work, The Modular World of Albert Leclerc traces the designer's career, training, and professional experiences, and presents the vast majority of his work. Albert Leclerc was a key figure in the development of modular thinking, an approach that allows for the flexible, efficient, and scalable design and production of the material and social environment. More broadly, this book demonstrates that the history of design is not only that of production and industrial forms, but also that of the social fabric that gave rise to them.
Albert Leclerc is a leading figure in the history of industrial design, both in Quebec, where he was born, and in Italy, where he lived for much of his life. His ingenuity and unique aesthetic made him a true design pioneer. His prolific and unclassifiable work spans everything from product design to architecture. A brilliant strategist, visionary, and unifying force, Albert Leclerc also contributed to the development of the Université de Montréal's School of Industrial Design, which he directed from 1992 to 2004.
He is responsible, among other things, for the Free furniture systems for Tecno, wall clocks for Ballardini, the Le Palle ceramic collection, and social housing in Turin. He was also one of Olivetti's main designers, collaborating with Ettore Sottsass on the design of the System 45 office furniture and the iconic Valentine portable typewriter.
