Specifications
The ultimate resource for collectors, featuring hundreds of pieces from both well-known and lesser-known designers from around the world. The period between the late 1930s and the early 1970s was one of the most productive and innovative times for household items and furniture. Post-war enthusiasm combined with new production methods and material techniques created a burst of new design and desirable objects. The desire for mid-century modern style remains strong, both for classic designs – many of which are still in production – and for rare and hard-to-find pieces from lesser-known designers. While many publications have emerged on the subject of mid-century modern style, none have been specifically designed for the growing collector market that focuses on each piece of furniture as an object of standard invention and material innovation. This definitive book profiles numerous pieces in a significant format, ideal for reference in design libraries, studios, and private collectors' homes – or as a design object in its own right. Each piece of furniture is presented in detail, illustrated in color, and profiled through analytical descriptive texts by Dominic Bradbury. The book's extensive reference section includes essays on materials (e.g., plywood) and designer profiles. Works by a plethora of influential talents are profiled throughout, along with lesser-known pieces by Piet Hein, Bruno Mathsson, Lina Bo Bardi, and Alexander Girard.
