Showcasing one of the most significant and comprehensive collections of modernist furniture in private hands, this lavish publication features more than 150 chairs, tables, and other furnishings and objects, many of which have become modernist icons. International in scope, this stunning collection spans the years 1900 to 1965 and traces the history of the modern movement. Essays by noted architecture and design scholars examine the historical, social, and aesthetic issues embodied in these objects, including the early utopian objective of reconciling the role of the designer with emerging methods of machine and industrial manufacture. The authors also show how other tenets of modernism-truth to materials, the rejection of decorative ornamentation, and the now-familiar credo “form follows function”-have informed both the theory and practice of modernist design. Includes among many designers Alvar Aalto, Mogens Lassen, Eero Saarinen, Verner Panton, Arne Jacobsen and Hans Wegner.
