Design Between the Lines

Design Between the Lines - Patrick Le Quement

Design Between the Lines

Engaging and revealing, the author relates his personal experience and deep knowledge of car design in a very enjoyable manner.
The car industry and the way in which cars are created have changed beyond all recognition over the last half-century. Automotive styling was once the grudging afterthought when the engineers had finished their work. Now, following a short flirtation with exotic Italian design houses, it has evolved into sophisticated design carried out by multitalented in-house teams honing carefully crafted brand identities. One of the visionary designers at the forefront of that revolution has been Patrick le Qu ment. Most widely acclaimed for his 22 years in charge of Renault Design, resulting in such standout models as the Twingo, Sc nic and Avantime, le Qu ment has enjoyed a 50-year career that has also taken in Simca, Ford and Volkswagen-Audi. In his foreword to the book, Stephen Bayley calls le Qu ment 'perhaps the very most original designer working in the conservative car business at the turn of the millennium'. Some 60 million cars across the world now bear the unmistakable stamp of le Qu ment. Design: Between the Lines is not a straightforward autobiography; rather, le Qu ment charts his journey through five decades of thoughts, actions, failures and successes. He offers fascinating commentaries on design and the creative process, and on some of the extraordinary automotive brands that make up our shared cultural heritage. As Bayley notes, for le Qu ment, design is 'as much a matter of thinking as a matter of drawing'. On a broader, more philosophical level, le Qu ment also shares his views about life in general and that remarkable contraption called 'the automobile', which has so influenced the lives of millions of people the world over from the late 1800s to the present day. Presented as a series of 50 brief essays or 'perspectives', le Qu ment's thoughtful and astute observations from the street, from the design studio and from his seat in the boardroom give the reader a penetrating and often amusing insight into the high-level workings of a global industry, its triumphs and tragedies, and the foibles of the decision-makers responsible for running it. A lively complementary text by the automotive journalist St phane Geffray accompanies each of le Qu ment's perspectives, and illustrations are provided by the automobile designer Gernot Bracht. Design: Between the Lines will appeal to all motoring fans and ent
