Description and Table of Contents
Description
"Occasionally you come across a book that does everything it claims -- and then some. This is one" (Blueprint) Architects have been responsible for many of the modern furniture classics of the 20th century -- Miesa s Barcelona Chair, Eileen Graya s side table and Le Corbusiera s chaise longue. Furniture and Architecture takes a unique look at the relationship between architects and furniture design. Focusing not only on classic mid--20th--century design i.e. Eames, Mies, Le Corbusier and Gropius, it also provides a unique insight into who will produce the next generation of classics by asking an international--array of established designers to give their tips for the top young architect--designers. In additional it includes exclusive interviews with high--profile architects as well as with key figures in furniture manufacture and retail. A directory of specialist retailers, who sell architect--designed furniture, makes this an invaluable resource for architects and the interested public.
* The book includes comprehensive articles and images of popular modernist architects such as Erno Goldfinger, Arne Jacobsen and Eero Saarinen * It also features interviews with architects Alvaro Siza, David Adjaye and Selfridges director Vittore Radice * Lavishly illustrated with many full--colour images * Contains a directory of specialist retailers selling architect--designed furniture
