Post-war optimism combined with new manufacturing methods and material techniques to create an explosion of new design and objects of desire. The appetite for mid-century modern remains as strong as ever, both for classic designs - many still in production since they were launched - and for rare, hard-to-find or out-of-production pieces from lesser-known designers. While numerous books surveying mid-century modern style have appeared over the years, no publication has been specifically conceived for the increasing collector's market in mid-century modern design, focusing on each piece of furniture as an object of formal invention, manufacturing intelligence and material innovation. This definitive book profiles hundreds of pieces in a substantial format perfect for reference in design libraries, studios and the homes of private collectors - or as an object of design in its own right. Each item of furniture is presented in detail, illustrated in colour and profiled via in-depth descriptive texts by Dominic Bradbury. The book's substantial reference section includes essays on materials (eg, plywood) and designer profiles. Work by a host of influential talents is profiled throughout, alongside lesser-known pieces by Piet Hein, Bruno Mathsson, Lina Bo Bardi and Alexander Girard. 505 0 $a Introduction -- Chairs -- Chaises longues -- Stools -- Sofas -- Tables -- Consoles & credenzas -- Desks & storage -- Beds & bedside -- Ways of making. 650 0 $a Furniture $x History $y 20th century. 650 0 $a Furniture design $x History $y 20th century. 650 0 $a Modernism (Aesthetics) 941 $a 4 952 $l GOPG641 $d 20240409043733.0 952 $l USUX851 $d 20240403014207.0 952 $l UQAX771 $d 20230817010133.0 952 $l XXPH787 $d 20230303011053.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=2A762622B99111ED87B4EF6C3AECA4DB 994 $a C0 $b IWBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
