This review is from: Finnish Modern Design: Utopian Ideals and Everyday Realities, 1930-97 (Paperback)
I was disappointed to find that this book is essentially a museum catalog of a specific exhibition. While it is extremely well done as such, the collection of objects it represents is necessarily limited.
I make and design furniture, and was hoping to find more represented. The rather limited selection of objects shown are by Aalto and other very familiar designers. Practically nothing is shown from the new generation of Finns. As an overview of 20th Century Finnish work, this book is ok. It is not particularly exciting and could be better organized, but unfortunately is one of the few works in English on the subject.
