American Furniture Designers: 1900 to the Present highlights the furniture produced by the 20 most important American furniture designers of the 20th and early 21st centuries plus a selection of the best-known European designers whose work is sold by Knoll International and Herman Miller. The designers are organized into five chapters. Introductions to each section summarize the evolution of furniture design as it evolved through the 20th and early 21st centuries. The book begins with the Arts and Crafts era before World War I; moves into the interwar period when Modernism gained a foothold in America; continues through the Postwar heyday of Mid-century Modern; highlights the furniture from the 1970s and into the 21st century with a focus on the foremost promoters of modern furniture, Knoll International and Herman Miller; and concludes with a selection of the top Studio Furniture makers and their innovative creations. The book focuses on the leading American designers from each of these periods including Gustav Stickley and Charles Rohlfs during the Arts and Crafts movement, Paul Frankl and Gilbert Rohde in the interwar period, Charles and Ray Eames and George Nelson for Mid- century Modern, and Wendell Castle and George Nakashima for Studio Furniture to name just a few. All their furniture is explained and profusely illustrated with 280 color photos. For anyone curious about the modern material culture that surrounds them, the book will explain everything about American furniture from 1900 into the 21st century: when it was made, where it was made, who made it, what it was made of, how it was designed, how long it was in production, and how the furniture related to its contemporaries."-- $c Provided by publisher 650 0 $a Furniture designers $z United States $x History $y 20th century. 650 0 $a Furniture designers $z United States $x History $y 21st century. 650 0 $a Furniture design $z United States $x History $y 20th century. 650 0 $a Furniture design $z United States $x History $y 21st century. 650 6 $a Dessinateurs de meubles $z EÌtats-Unis $x Histoire $y 20e sieÌcle. 650 6 $a Dessinateurs de meubles $z EÌtats-Unis $x Histoire $y 21e sieÌcle. 650 6 $a Meubles $x Histoire $z EÌtats-Unis $x Histoire $y 20e sieÌcle. 650 6 $a Meubles $x Histoire $z EÌtats-Unis $x Histoire $y 21e sieÌcle. 650 7 $a CRAFTS & HOBBIES / General. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a Furniture design. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00936534 650 7 $a Furniture designers. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00936539 651 7 $a United States. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204155 648 7 $a 1900-2099 $2 fast 655 7 $a History. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411628 776 08 $i Ebook version : $z 9781538135631 941 $a 2 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231117013448.0 952 $l UQAX771 $d 20221012010908.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=275DE85CE17011EC82262A731FECA4DB 994 $a C0 $b JIDInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
