Product Description
Furniture provides much more than just a place to sit or store things. A well-designed piece of furniture can bring lasting pleasure to a living space. Conran Basics: Furniture is a snappy, colorful introduction to the best of contemporary furniture design, with overviews of forms, materials, fabrics, and upholstery. The book walks readers through the house room by room, explaining the furniture decisions that influence each space. Full-color photographs give readers a retrospective of over a century of furniture design, including classics such as Frank O. Gehry's cross-check armchair and the Eames lounge chair. The book concludes with profiles of four leading furniture designers and a helpful resource section.
