The author explores every facet of the modern - from architecture to furniture to home design. In a Who’s Who of modern design style, he then lists all of its greatest practitioners chronologically. From the Art Nouveau style of Gaudi to the classicism of Michale Graces, all of the sub-styles that fall under the umbrella of “modern” are finally demystified. This book ventures beyond the interiors of lavish homes to showcase club and restuarant decor, furniture, product design, and textiles. It also features the apartments and homes of the designers and architects themselves, offering a rare glimpse into the lives of these celebrated creators. Succinct introductions to each individual designer or architect’s mission set the work in the context of related fields, such as fashion or graphic design, for a view of the real-world impact of the modern. Includes among many Le Corbusier, Mies van der Rohe, Alvar Aalto, Rudolp Schindler, Richard Neutra, Antoni Gaudi, Elliel Saarinen Frank Lloyd Wright, Bruce Goff, Arne Jacobsen, John Lautner, Verner Panton, Staffan Berglund, Jack Lenor Larsen.
