About the Item
A prominent European architect traces the development of furniture from the early nineteenth century to the present, reappraising the milestones of modern design.
Unsurpassed as an overview of 150 years of furniture design, 'The History of Modern Furniture' is also noteworthy as an examination of the domestic landscape in the light of social history and changing life styles. This period saw many and diverse aesthetic and social theories merge, and many attempts by architects and designers to create furniture and housing for the needs of a rapidly industrialized world. From this abundance of new ideas the author has chosen those that have proved to be more than short-lived fashions.
A Selected bibliography and a complete index enhance the reference value of this provocative volume. 185 pages with 383 black and white photographs and illustrations. 1.14 kgs.
