Modern Retro: Living With Mid-century Modern Style

In recent years, mid-century modern furniture, glass, ceramics, and textiles have become extremely popular among those who appreciate their stylish contribution to the contemporary home. "Modern Retro" will inspire you to create a look that combines modern classics by such visionaries as the Eameses, Bertoia, and Aalto with yard-sale treasures and the best of contemporary design. Created by modern clasics dealer Andrew Weaving and disign commentator Neil Bingham, "Modern Retro" is not about slavishly recreating a period feel. Instead, it shows how to take the best designs fromt he 1920's to the 1970's and use them throughout your home in a relaxed and individual way, making the most of the gloriously eclectic form, colours, and patterns available. *An inspiring guide to using mid-20th-centry furniture and decoration in your home. *Beautiful photography by Andrew Wood.
