One of the world's leading collections of iconic 20th-century design, the Stewart Collection houses exemplary furniture, ceramics, glass, textiles, posters, graphic art, jewelry, and everyday objects from the 1930s to today. This richly illustrated book finds parallels among such works as posters by Max Bill, an armchair by Frank Lloyd Wright, and a drawing for the Bakelite Corporation by Rolf Scarlett, and compares such diverse designs as silverware by Puiforcat & Henning Koppel, art glass by Dale Chichuly, Timo Sarpaneva, Edvin Öhrström & Kaj Franck, ceramics by Russel Wright, Axel Salto & Vilhelm Kåge, textiles by Marianne Straub and Helena Hernmarck, lighting by Paavo Tynel & Karl Trabert and interesting and innovative furniture by Peter Opsvik, Eero Saarinen, Grete Jalk, Eero Aarnio, Bruno Mathsson, Verner Panton, Arne Jacobsen, Alvar Aalto and many more.
