Fifteen Lectures on Modern Furniture Design Methods takes an authoritative look at the representative works, methodologies, and expansive legacies of some of the world's most influential creatives in modern furniture design. Richly illustrated with close to 400 full-colour images, each of the essays profiles practitioners who have integrated an interdisciplinary mindset with outstanding craftmanship. The authors, both experts in the field of modern furniture design, technology, and innovation, present a comprehensive collection of works by 32 luminaries, such as Alvar Aalto, Jacques Bisson, Le Corbusier, Ray and Charles Eames, Shiro Kuramata, Andre Masson, Alessandro Mendini, Mies van der Rohe, Gerrit Rietveld, Eero Saarinen, Ettore Sottsass, Philippe Starck, Ilmari Tapiovaara, and many others. Each of the essays focuses on key design attributes, including materiality (plywood, steel pipes, metal fabrication); principles, inspirations, modelling language techniques, and experimental design revolutions; fashion, art, and sculpture; craftmanship and creativity; modern office furniture, and so much more. The authors provide an incisive summary of the methodology of each of the designers, and offer insight into the essence of new furniture design innovations. 3 Illustrations, black and white; 352 Illustrations, color
