内容简介：

这是第一本记录设计师和建筑师威廉·阿瑟·史密斯·本森（1854-1924）的生活和工作的著作。 本森以富有想象力和实用性的金属作品设计而闻名，他因其在电气照明领域的大胆和创新而出名。本森生活和工作的其他方面可能不太为人所知，但在这本经过广泛研究、具有视觉冲击力的书中，这些方面都得到了的关注。  

This is the first work devoted to the life and work of the designer and architect William Arthur Smith Benson (1854-1924). Renowned for imaginative and practical metal work designs, W. A. S. Benson is best known for his daring and innovative work in the sphere of electrical lighting. Examples of the latter have always been widely admired (even during his own lifetime) and are becoming increasingly rare and desirable. Other aspects of Benson's life and work however are perhaps less well known and these have been given prominence in this extensively researched and visually stunning book. The scope of the work places Benson in his historical context (Peter Rose), present Benson's biography (Avril Denton) and discuss his commercial work: interior design (Mark Golding), metalware (Ian Hamerton), lighting (Ian Hamerton and Salah Ben Halim), architecture (Ian Hamerton) and also the steps taken by Benson to protect himself against design theft (Tony Hampton).
