About the Item
Published in 1950 by The Museum of Modern Art - MOMA, this is a scarce soft covered book which features the designs of the winners and those who got special mention at The International Competition for Low Cost Furniture Design 1950.
At the end of the second world war there was a tremendous housing problem and homes were becoming much smaller and to help make them more comfortable and easier to live in, the furniture had to be effectively planned and at a scale to suit. So the competition was launched, to develop ideas for low-cost furniture suited to living rooms, bedrooms and dining areas, the response was tremendous and in this book you can see some of the best designs by such as Charles Eames, Hans Wegner, Don Knorr and Georg Leowald.
