Book Reviews of Mid-Century Modern: Furniture of the 1950s
Book Review: Friendly intro to proper 'what modern was' furniture.
Summary: 5 Stars
Excellent overview of 'modern' interiors- lighting, furniture, accessories; often shown in delightful period modern room settings. A great coffee table book, yet a valued reference also. Wonderful composition of color and b&w photos: book "flows" well w/ non-tedious text. Guaranteed appreciation of mid-century modern by the indifferent after thumbing through this book. One of my top three most favorites that I never tire of and return to often, (and I'm a gearhead!). A can't-go-wrong choice for anyone with even a small interest in design or collecting.
Summary of Mid-Century Modern: Furniture of the 1950s
This highly praised celebration of '50s design recalls the wonders of boomerang-shaped coffee tables, the funky curvaceousness of biomorphic furniture, the industrial sleekness of cool metals, and other design delights. "Will undoubtedly foster a new appreciation of furniture from the '50s."--Chicago Sun-Times. 125 4-color photographs and 100 black-and-white photographs.Furniture Books
