the phenomenon of architect-designed furniture through history,
revealing what makes their designs so unique and enduring
Furniture by Architects
features an eclectic range of extraordinary and eye-catching furniture
designs by leading contemporary architects. Following the tradition of
great masters such as Frank Lloyd Wright and Le Corbusier, these top
architects and designers have extended their talents to create beautiful
and unusual furniture pieces and collections for the rapidly growing
and increasingly global market for designer furniture.
The
furniture pieces showcased in this book include tables, chairs, sofas,
benches, cabinets, shelving and lighting fixtures as well as some unique
one-off pieces. The featured styles range from futuristic to classical,
and geometric to organic, covering the full spectrum of contemporary
furniture design. Materials used range from state-of-the-art plastics
and the best quality timber to found objects and recycled metals.
The
book explores why, historically, so many iconic furniture pieces have
been designed by architects. Think of Mies van der Rohe's Barcelona
Chair and the now ubiquitous Eames Lounge and Ottoman. Essentially, the
same fundamental principles used for designing extraordinary buildings
can be applied at a much smaller scale to create outstanding pieces of
furniture, which embrace form and function to become highly collectable
objects of art.
Furniture by Architects
will appeal to collectors and creators of designer and custom
furniture, as well as architects, interior designers and everyone with
an interest in high-quality design |
