Mid-Century Modern: Icons of Design: The History of the Women's Militant Suffrage Movement

Description

The mid-20th century was one of the most popular, collectable and dynamic periods of international design. Drawing on the inventive style of the era, this range of gift products features exclusive illustrations of iconic mid-century designs, from Eames chairs to Poul Henningsen lamps and George Nelson clocks, all rendered in a distinctive graphic style. Featuring over ninety pieces by sixty designers and design duos, Mid-Century Modern: Icons of Design is arranged chronologically, and includes chairs, tables, storage, lighting, and product and industrial design. Each spread includes a graphic depiction of the piece and a concise text. The models, materials and designers index offers easy reference through the book. Review: Not a great book - The description is somehow deceiving. There are no real pictures of the furniture and the drawings are one dimensional which is very disappointing. Review: Design classics - A good introduction to modern designers and their work. Would have been nice to see some actual pictures of the items though, as these are just artists renderings!!
