Based on a series of lectures developed by noted furniture designer
Richard Schultz, this brief, striking book lays out his design
manifesto both challenging and adding to Louis Sullivan's credo
"form follows function." From African stools carved from a single
log to advanced techniques of laminating wood; from simple twisted
wire chairs to complex wire furniture bending in three axes; and
from basic stonework to iconic post-and-beam structures, the art of
design evolves along with the available materials and techniques.
Combining Zen wisdom, examples of classic furniture, and a lifetime
of experience as a designer, Schultz explores how technology both
limits and fosters innovative design. It is the author's hope that
this book will encourage students, designers, and others to think
about new materials and techniques so that they, too, will create
iconic designs.
