Text in English French and German. "An important component in Dominique Perrault's architecture is the deliberate use of materials. Textures colors reflections and tactile qualities impart to the purity even austerity of his simple monumental buildings a special note of distinction. This volume documents for the first time his collaboration with Gaelle Lauriot-Prevost in furniture and lamp design as well as wall hangings - the area where Perrault's sense of materials is most tangible. The complete interior design for the Bibliotheque nationale de France - the woven metal wall hangings the various book shelves reading tables chairs reception areas research alcoves etc. as well as lamps- is the focus of this book. Other design products and thefirst application of woven metal hangings in the departmental archives in Laval 1992 are also shown.
