About the Item

This is the Fourth Volume of New Furniture, the International Annual devoted to the field of furniture design. Like its predecessors, this selection should be considered a report, rather than a judgement, on recent furniture design. It is clear that the days of revolutionary experimentation in form and construction are a thing of the past and that designers today are most interested in nuances and variations on established themes. This change of approach is not only a definite sign that modern furniture is steadily gaining wider acceptance but also that it is in danger of becoming dominated by mere fashion. The 347 illustrations chosen for this volume enable the reader to compare designs and products from fifteen different countries. This selection shows that basic forms and styles have been widely accepted without sacrificing all expression of national aptitude and preferences. The documentary text has been carefully prepared to give as much information as possible concerning designers and manufacturers. Hardback. Text in English and German. 162 pages. 975 grams.
