Summary:
The Stedelijk Museum opened its doors in 1895, the same year as the first Venice Biennale. It was a "quiet, civilized museum for the Amsterdam bourgeoisie in a time when there was nothing as troublesome as modern art." Initially, the museum exhibited the legacy of the eccentric Sophia Augusta de Bruyn, Douairière Lopez Suasso: a heterogeneous collection of antiques, coins, jewels, timepieces, silver knickknacks, and other curiosa. Period rooms, from canal houses that had been demolished when Raadhuisstraat was driven through, helped create a presentable whole. The museum's renowned furniture collection was not begun until 1934, but since then it has grown to include more than 1000 objects from circa 1850 to the present, with an accent on the twentieth century. Chairs, settees, tables, folding screens, cabinets, and even complete interiors are included.~This publication provides a comprehensive overview of the Stedelijk Museum’s furniture collecting activities from 1934 to 2000. It charts the museum's rich collection, which includes work by H.P. Berlage, K.P.C de Bazel, Piet Kramer, Gerrit T. Rietveld, Martin Visser, Piet Hein Eek, and Marcel Wanders, as well as international furniture classics designed by Michael Thonet, Charlotte Perriand, Ludwig Mies van der Rohe, Marcel Breuer, Joe Colombo, Arne Jacobsen, Ettore Sottsass, Philippe Starck, and Ron Arad. Besides a complete overview of the furniture collection, this annotated catalogue includes an introduction to the history of the collection and its exhibition activities. In addition, the volume explores various themes, such as international and Dutch icons, and contrasts and evolutions, in greater depth in a number of short essays.

Summary:
The design of the Van Nelle factory is in many ways revolutionary. While acknowledging the inventiveness of the young Van der Vlugt, this innovation is equally attributable to the dedication of the client, C.H. van der Leeuw. Besides optimum functioning of the concern, great emphasis was placed on providing improved working conditions for the employees. The factory proper is in three volumes of decreasing height, one of eight levels for tobacco, a coffee section of five levels with a double-height entresol, and a three-level tea department. All three zones adjoin a main service route and are further connected by bridges (almost the hallmark of this factory) to a row along the water of dispatch and storage spaces, a bicycle shed, a boiler house and workshops. The combination of an objective functionalism and a humane view of architecture resulted in one of the absolute pinnacles of the Dutch Modern Movement. The Dutch photographer Martin van den Oever has made a fascinating stereoscopic (3-D) series of photographs on the architecture of Brinkman and Van der Vlugt's world famous Van Nelle Factory. This book contains twenty of his best photographs which together clearly demonstrate the delicate transparency of this functionalist masterpiece and confront the viewer with its spatiality. As an extra the dust wrapper of this book is a one-to-one reprint of an original drawing by Brinkman and Van der Vlugt (62cm x 145cm) which can also be used as a poster. Introduction by Joris Molenaar. With 20 anaglyph stereoscopic (3D) photographs and special stereo glasses.
