The ultimate collector's resource, including hundreds of pieces by
both well- and lesser-known designers from around the world. From
armchairs and chaises longues to cabinets and nightstands, the
period between the late 1930s and early 1970s was one of the most
productive, inventive and exciting eras for objects and furniture
in the home. Post-war optimism combined with new manufacturing
methods and material techniques to create an explosion of new
design and objects of desire. The appetite for mid-century modern
remains as strong as ever, both for classic designs - many still in
production since they were launched - and for rare, hard-to- find
or out-of-production pieces from lesser-known designers. While
numerous books surveying mid-century modern style have appeared
over the years, no publication has been specifically conceived for
the increasing collector's market in mid-century modern design,
focusing on each piece of furniture as an object of formal
invention, manufacturing intelligence and material innovation. This
definitive book profiles hundreds of pieces in a substantial format
perfect for reference in design libraries, studios and the homes of
private collectors - or as an object of design in its own right.
Each item of furniture is presented in detail, illustrated in
colour and profiled via in-depth descriptive texts by Dominic
Bradbury. The book's substantial reference section includes essays
on materials (eg, plywood) and designer profiles. Work by a host of
influential talents is profiled throughout, alongside lesser-known
pieces by Piet Hein, Bruno Mathsson, Lina Bo Bardi and Alexander
Girard.
