A mirror whose exquisite veneering evokes earlier times. An endlessly versatile modular boardroom table in sensuous walnut. A new-century chest whose ten different woods mimic the bold, complex strata of a rock face. Furniture for the 21st Century highlights these and many other superb pieces from thirty-six eminent designer makers whose work has been commissioned from around the world. Its hundreds of color photographs illustrate rich and startling departures from the blandness of so much recent furniture design. This visual feast of modern concept and magnificent workmanship is an essential reference for interior designers, furniture historians, students of design, and all who--like the readership of Fine Woodworking magazine--relish the ultimate marriage of art and craft.

5.0 out of 5 stars
good designs,
By Herbert (Chestnut Hill, MA United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Furniture for the 21st Century (Hardcover)
This is a richly illustrated, panorama of contemporary English furniture makers and their designs. Several pages of color photos are devoted to each artesian. If there is a focus it is on lamination and the blending of several materials with wood, such as metals and glass. The quality of the illustrations could allow one to faithfully adopt proportions and curves to ones own designs. I look foreward to similar books dealing with other cultures and countries.
