For the past twenty years, New York-based design gallery R & Company has been a pioneer in discovering, curating, archiving, and presenting rare, exceptional, and iconic works to individuals and institutions. Through their groundbreaking exhibitions and publications, the gallery has been at the forefront of the collectible design movement. Published on the occasion of R & Company’s twentieth anniversary, this book offers new critical perspectives on the designers, themes, and emerging trends R & Company has uncovered, re-discovered, and elevated, including: the emergence of a market for Brazilian design; the championing of un-heralded American mid-century masters; the fostering of a material-focused contemporary design program; and the gallery’s passion for so-called “difficult” design. Unfolding through essays from leading writers on art, design, and craft, and illustrated by hundreds of archival, new, and behind-the-scenes gallery images, interior photos of collectors’ homes, and designers’ studios, it is a dynamic overview of the design market’s explosive past two decades, and its vibrant future. Featured designers include Wendell Castle, Rogan Gregory, Greta Magnusson Grossman, The Haas Brothers, Verner Panton, Sergio Rodrigues, Katie Stout, Studio65, Joaquim Tenreiro, Thaddeus Wolfe, Jeff Zimmerman and many more.:
