Thonet, Le Corbusier, Eames, Wegner: let this all-new textbook of product design fill you in on the background behind the masterworks of modern furniture.
An abundance of plates and illustrations complements Naoki Terada’s engaging account of modern furniture from its origins in the mid-eighteenth-century British Industrial Revolution. From Michael Thonet, Le Corbusier, Charles and Ray Eames, and Hans J. Wegner to Taro Okamoto and Shiro Kuramata, the accessible discussion ranges over the globe, helping readers connect the individual “dots” in their understanding of the history of product design into a single integrated flow. The author’s exceptional erudition, coupled with his insight as a professional designer, makes for a one-of-a-kind textbook that offers a delightfully page-turning read while laying out knowledge essential for anyone involved in design.
