Résumé:
Danish designers are renowned around the world for their beautiful and functional chairs. This substantial new book tells the full story of the Danish chairs that were created during the 20th century. “The Danish Chair: An International Affair” is structured around chair types and illustrates how the “golden age” of Danish furniture design was driven by the study and refinement of historical furniture types, including chairs from abroad that served as important sources of inspiration. It traces the family relations between the chairs and shows how they influenced each other in terms of detailing, construction and concept. Design was the cultural phenomenon that put Denmark on the world map in the mid-20th century. The international brand of Danish design arose in 1949 when American journalists began to write about the Danish furniture at the Copenhagen Cabinetmakers’ Guild exhibition.

Résumé:
"Design 1935-1965: What Modern Was" presents a definitive and distinct perspective on the decorative arts of the mid-20th century, a period that has only grown in popularity since the book was first published in 1991. Now back in print with 37 new full-color plates of formerly black-and-white images, it is certain to be reaffirmed as a classic of design literature. The encyclopedic, lavishly illustrated volume spotlights seminal objects from the period's most significant innovators, including the Eames' iconic chairs; Noguchi's sculptural lamps; Sottsass's early, rebellious furniture; as well as jewelry, ceramics, and textiles by a range of contemporary masters. Historian Paul Johnson's essay provides a sociopolitical context for the works, and noted experts in various design fields offer a wealth of information.

Résumé:
This sumptuously illustrated volume presents over 180 outstanding Viennese silver objects representing the period from Neoclassicism to the Wiener Werkstätte. Comparing early eighteenth-century works with examples of twentieth-century design and architecture, it offers a fascinating look at Vienna's contribution to the development of modern decorative arts. The authors demonstrate how the roots of modern design go back further than is generally assumed. Achieving remarkable clarity and formal reduction, Viennese Biedermeier designers created everyday objects of silver with astonishingly straightforward and purposeful forms that remain as progressive as ever today. In turn-of-the-century Vienna, Josef Hoffmann and Koloman Moser drew inspiration from the intellectual legacy of the period in their designs for the Wiener Werkstätte. Many of the ideas introduced by the Viennese avant-garde were later expressed in such movements as the Bauhaus and De Stijl. By examining this history in all its complexity, the book traces the development of the vocabulary for contemporary design.
