Furniture is far too often taken for granted, despite the fact that we are surrounded by it daily. This title offers an examination of artistic and cultural trends of the past and present by looking at how furniture affected the time in which it was made.
In a comprehensive listing of entries from "Aalto, Hugo Alvar Henrik" to "Zui Weng Yi," Charles Boyce illuminates readers about furniture styles, construction details, terminology, furniture designers, and design movements throughout history and throughout the world.
For interior designers; furniture makers, historians, and set designers, this is a unique reference that can help you thought the centuries of design. Styles covered include:
European-inspired classical
Baroque
Pop
Rococo
Modernist
And much more.
“Just as fine arts do, furniture gives expression to our always-changing sense of how things should be. But the ubiquity of furniture makes this easy to forget. This book is meant to open our eyes and reawaken our minds to a remarkable area of practical and artistic endeavor.”
