●内容简介——

这是收藏家的资源，包括来自世界各地知名和不知名设计师的数百件作品。

从扶手椅和躺椅到橱柜和床头柜，20世纪30年代末至70年代初这一时期是家居用品和家具富有成效、具创造性和令人兴奋的时代之一。1945年之后，当战后的乐观情绪与新的制造方法和材料技术相结合时，设计创新和对商品的需求都出现了爆炸性增长。人们对本世纪中叶现代家具的需求仍然像以前一样强烈，既包括经典设计许多设计自推出以来仍然在生产，也包括鲜为人知的设计师的罕见的、难以找到的作品。虽然多年来出现了许多关于中世纪现代风格的书籍，但这本书是专门为日益增长的中世纪现代设计的收藏市场而编写的，重点是将每件家具作为形式上的发明、制造智慧和材料创新的对象。

《中世纪现代家具》充斥着鲜艳的彩色照片，介绍了数百件作品，是设计图书馆、工作室和私人收藏家家中的参考资料，也可作为设计对象本身使用。每件家具都有详细介绍：有生动的插图，有设计作家Dominic Bradbury的深入描述性文字。该书的参考部分包括关于材料的文章和设计师名录。书中介绍了许多有影响力的人才的作品，以及Piet Hein、Bruno Mathsson、Lina Bo Bardi和Alexander Girard的鲜为人知的作品。

The ultimate collector’s resource, including hundreds of pieces by both well- and lesser-known designers from around the world. 

From armchairs and chaises lounges to cabinets and nightstands, the period between the late 1930s and early 1970s was one of the most productive, inventive, and exciting eras for objects and furniture in the home. Following 1945, when postwar optimism combined with new manufacturing methods and material techniques, there was an explosion of design innovation and demand for goods.The appetite for mid-century modern remains as strong as ever, both for classic designs―many still in production since they were launched―and for rare, hard-to-find pieces from lesser-known designers. While numerous books surveying mid-century modern style have appeared over the years, this volume is specifically for the increasing collector’s market in mid-century modern design, focusing on each piece of furniture as an object of formal invention, manufacturing intelligence, and material innovation.

Overflowing with vibrant color photography, Mid-Century Modern Furniture profiles hundreds of pieces and is a perfect reference in design libraries, studios, andthe homes of private collectors―or as an object of design in its own right. Each item of furniture is presented in detail: illuminated with vibrant illustrations and profiled via in-depth descriptive texts by design writer Dominic Bradbury. The book’s substantial reference section includes essays on materials and a directory of designers. Work by a host of influential talents is profiled throughout, alongside lesser-known pieces by Piet Hein, Bruno Mathsson, Lina Bo Bardi, and Alexander Girard.
