Book Description

Publication Date: May 1998 | Series: Schiffer Design Book

The Herman Miller Furniture Company was devoted to manufacturing period reproduction furniture until pioneer industrial designer Gilbert Rohde walked into their Grand Rapids showroom in 1930. A devout modernist, Rohde convinced D.J. De Pree to focus on modern furniture throughout the 1930s, and to produce exclusively modern furniture by the time Rohde died in 1944. This exact reprint of the 1939 product catalog from the Herman Miller Archives is an historic document showing hundreds of Art Deco and other classic modern furniture designs, all by Rohde. His use of exotic veneers, tubular steel, bentwood, and plastics was innovative and important in the evolution of modernism. With an added price guide, this catalog will be an invaluable tool for the researcher, collector, dealer, and museum curator.

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)

This review is from: Herman Miller 1939 Catalog: Gilbert Rohde Modern Design With Value Guide (Schiffer Design Book) (Hardcover)

Gilbert Rohde saved Herman Miller by transforming them from traditional designs to the modern. He was one of the most innovative and forward thinking designers of his time - and he's also my grandfather. This book is an entire catalog of Gilbert Rohde designs and shows the great range of his modern yet always practical and user focused work.
