Content editorialisation of research design line “design, interiors, identities” – Problemata

Problemata is a platform for publishing lines of research organized around a theme in the design disciplines. With historical or historicized perspectives, a line of research is composed of articles (texts) and resources (images). I was in charge of the editorial process of this research line.

The research line entitled “design, interiors, identities” addresses the relationship in Europe to the home, interior design, domestic interiors, furniture, decoration, function and, more profoundly, to identities integrated, developed or detached in relation to spaces and places. From Louis XIV through the Victorian era to the contemporary era, the line offers a range of studies focusing mainly on the modern period. How, according to period, style and need, can interior design, by setting the scene for our society, bear witness to the evolution of our lifestyles as a more or less voluntary and assertive extension of our identities? All texts are taken from Raddar n°2, co-published by T&P Work Unit and the Mudac in 2020.
