Meer over het boek
An exquisitely illustrated celebration of an influential style at the forefront of interior design, this volume explores the period from 1900 to 1950, which produced the raw, functional aesthetic that has become a cornerstone of modern design. The second industrial revolution spurred the need for new furniture to meet the demands of a rapidly growing workforce. Chairs, tables, lamps, and modular storage were crafted from innovative materials to be mass-produced, stackable, and adjustable for emerging industries manufacturing products that defined a changing society. These reclaimed style pieces are now highly sought after by collectors and interior designers. The book honors the engineers who shaped this industrial aesthetic, recognizing them as the unsung heroes of modern design. Pioneers like Bernard-Albin Gras, George Carwardine, Jean Prouvé, and Édouard-Wilfred Buquet revolutionized our perception of the built environment by creatively working with iron and steel. Five chapters focus on lighting, seating, tables, storage, and curiosities, detailing major innovations and designs from the era, complemented by stunning photography showcasing these objects in various settings. Meticulously curated, this elegant book serves as both an informative style guide and a source of inspiration for living with industrial design.
