This French-language publication explores the history of a design collection associated with the Musée d'art moderne de Saint-Étienne, with particular attention to furniture design. It presents the collection as part of a broader story about how modern and applied arts are gathered, documented, and interpreted within a museum setting. The concise format suggests an accessible guide to the collection’s development, highlighting the cultural and historical significance of selected furniture pieces rather than offering only a technical inventory. The accompanying CD-ROM points to supplementary visual or archival material intended to extend the printed discussion. The work is suited to readers interested in design history, museum collections, and the role of furniture within modern art and design discourse.
