Tradition in Contemporary Furniture (Furniture Studio series)

This beautiful survey seeks to build a vocabulary of modern studio furniture’s meanings and ideals that is similar to the lexicon of traditional furniture that has existed for centuries. Striking photographs and incisive essays analyze contemporary pieces and provide a forum for debate on content and meaning in furniture that bridges the gaps between scholars, design professionals, furniture makers, and consumers. A 44-page gallery juried by Furniture Society members highlights today’s very best contemporary furniture works.
