Steiner is regarded as one of the most influential reformers of the twentieth century. He created extraordinary furniture designs and initiated a building style that seems to prefigure contemporary architecture. At the same time, he advocated a holistic view of humanity which shows its influence in many areas of our lives today, and he inspired artists such as Piet Mondrian, Wassily Kandinsky and Joseph Beuys. This book is the first presentation of Steiner's work in its full breadth. Numerous scholarly essays discuss the origins, context and influence of Steiner's work, complemented by over 500 illustrations, inlcuding both new and historical photographs, architectural plans, notebook sketches and artworks. This material is supplemented by comparisons with current design trends, from works by Olafur Eliasson and design objects by Konstantin Grcic to the architecture of Herzog & de Meuron. With texts by Philip Ursprung, Paul Virilio, Mateo Kries, Walter Kugler, Markus Bruderlin, Wolfgang Pehnt, Julia Althaus, Wolfgang Zumdick and others.
