Description

An homage to the design pioneers who defined the Mid-Century aesthetic through their work in furniture, glassware, ceramics and textiles More than 50 years later, the fascination with mid-century design is stronger than ever before. Explore the popular movement’s distinctive style in this A-Z guide to the 300 influential designers who helped to define it. From popular icons such as Alvar Aalto, Lina Bo Bardi, Tony Duquette, Charles & Ray Eames, Pierre Jeanneret, Florence Knoll, and Gio Ponti to the movement’s lesser-known figures, the book showcases an expansive, richly illustrated portrait of Mid-Century Modernism across the globe. Detailed texts about each designer appear alongside hundreds of images of post-war designs, from furniture to glassware, lighting to textiles, ceramics to tableware, revealing the vibrant cross-pollination of ideas among the designers who defined the era’s aesthetic.
