4.0 out of 5 stars MORE MODERN THAN YOU!, May 16, 2000

By	shannon (valencia, ca United States) - See all my reviews

An absolute must have for anyone with a love for the modernist design movement of the 50's and 60's, or if you're looking to stay consistent with a modernist theme while redecorating. It's so sleek and plastic and modular. I love it! And in the tradition of Taschen books, the price is well worth it!

4.0 out of 5 stars What is a sourcebook? A display of old things! And a good 1, June 4, 2000

By	Paul Ket (Netherlands) - See all my reviews

Taschen writes this is a sourcebook. It just shows where design comes from. What was done in that era. And this book does just that and does it good. No high-brow comment, just reproductions of pages of house-plans, chairs, sidetables, glass ceramics etc. So, if you want to know if your old chair has any historic relevance, look in this book and see if there is a design original, or you might own it! Emphasis on the US, England Scandivavia, Italy and the Netherlands.

1.0 out of 5 stars Disappointing, May 30, 2000

By A Customer

Once you get past the lovely cover, the interior of this book consists entirely of magazine pages from the 1950's reproduced wholesale. While that means authenticity, it also means small,uninspiring black and white photography. Like looking at an old magazine, not the beautiful graphics one usually expects from Taschen.
