Furniture and Architecture takes a unique look at the relationship between architects and furniture design. Focusing not only on classic mid--20th--century design i.e. Eames, Mies, Le Corbusier and Gropius, it also provides a unique insight into who will produce the next generation of classics by asking an international--array of established designers to give their tips for the top young architect--designers. In additional it includes exclusive interviews with high--profile architects as well as with key figures in furniture manufacture and retail. A directory of specialist retailers, who sell architect--designed furniture, makes this an invaluable resource for architects and the interested public.
The book includes comprehensive articles and images of popular modernist architects such as Erno Goldfinger, Arne Jacobsen and Eero Saarinen
