Modernist Design Complete
$120.00
An authoritative survey of the 20th century’s defining movement in design and the applied arts.
The powerful aesthetic and philosophical framework that Modernism ushered in during the early part of the 20th century revolutionised the built world, transformed our living spaces and lifestyles, and fundamentally changed the way we think about design.
As they experimented with new forms, materials and techniques, Modernist designers rejected historical precedents to prioritise function over history and tradition.
With sections on furniture, lighting, glass, ceramics, textiles, industrial and product design, graphic design and posters, architecture and interiors, and featuring profiles of nearly a hundred influential creators, including such iconic figures as Bruno Mathsson, Charlotte Perriand and László Moholy-Nagy, as well as architects Alvar Aalto, Le Corbusier, Eliel Saarinen and Walter Gropius, the book’s scope is unprecedented.
