The new materials and manufacturing processes developed throughout the 20th century allowed designers to create beautiful, ergonomically functional furniture that was previously unimaginable; pieces by Alvar Aalto, Bruno Mathsson, Verner Panton, Finn Juhl, Philippe Starck, Henry van der Velde, Eero Saarinen, Charles and Ray Eames, Marcel Breuer, Le Corbusier, Matthew Rice, and Frank Gehry approached the level of sculpture in their superb forms. From the handmade vernacular styles of the Arts and Crafts Movement to singular pieces from the 21st century, this book profiles and illustrates more than 240 classic and inspiring examples of modern furniture design.
