OVER THIRTY YEARS OF PURCHASES TO BUILD A MAJOR COLLECTION
In 1981, the area of decorative arts, industrial design and crafts was added to the collection, and a specific Commission was created with its own budget. It was born out of the willingness to encompass the diversity and vitality of contemporary design. After regular purchases, based on the recommendations of figures from various backgrounds (experts from the Ministry of Culture, but also designers, journalists and independent curators), the collection has grown to include close to 9,500 pieces including including commissions, by over 2,200 artists and designers. It reflects the developments and diversity in this very broad field, and rather than telling a historical story, it does so through a series of views on and interpretations of what it is today.

Building on a historical core of State commissions, the collection is one of the foremost collections of contemporary design in Europe. Important monographic series illustrate the work of iconic designers on the European scene, including Ettore Sottsass, Alessandro Mendini, Gaetano Pesce, Jasper Morrison, Martin Szekely and Philippe Starck. From Ronan and Erwan Bouroullec to the Radi Designers, Matali Crasset, Droog Design and 5.5, the leading figures of the last decade are also well represented. The works produced in the context of State commissions, such as the ceramics that emerged from the experiment of “Designers à Vallauris” (1998-2001) also contribute to the uniqueness of this collection. Driven by a prospective approach, the CNAP also endeavors to acquire the works of emerging figures such as Julien Carretero and Émilie Voirin. Lastly, the fields of activity of the Commission were recently extended to the area of graphic design, leading to an expansion of the collections in 2010 to include a number of significant pieces, such as Pierre Di Sciullo’s Qui ? Résiste journal series, a series of models by Peter Knapp, and Philippe Millot’s books.

A DIVERSE COLLECTION, REFLECTING A MULTI-FACETED PRODUCTION
The collection explores a wide range of areas: furniture, tableware, lighting, textiles, but also jewelry, household appliances, new technologies and fashion accessories. Innovative cycles, “nomadic items” such as USB keys and mobile phones, and even Apple products have thus been recently added to the collections.

This typological diversity is mirrored by a wide range of production methods and circuits. One-off pieces, artifacts made using traditional or new processes, prototypes and industrial products all reflect the diversity of practices and the large number of people involved: designers, publishers, gallery owners, craftspeople and manufacturers.

The issue of the one vs. the many is pervasive throughout the field of design, and therefore throughout the collection, raising the question of the status of the object. Everyday icons, such as gas bottles and Vélibs, thus appear alongside experimental pieces, produced in a few copies, such as Mathieu Lehanneur’s weather station/mirror on the world, Demain est un autre jour, and the lamp Surface tension by the collective Front Design, which replaces the traditional light bulb with ephemeral soap bubbles.

The collection thus illustrates the changes in the domestic landscape and the ways of inhabiting the world. The question of the transformation of lifestyles and the significance of new production methods, in the time of 3D printing and open source technologies, fuel the discussions on future acquisitions.
