Description
Contemporary furniture design has enjoyed growing popularity in the last 15 years, both in Britain and internationally. The Furniture Machine looks at the furniture industry since 1990 to unravel its appeal, as well as examining design trends in the period from minimalism to 'blobjects'. Major designers featured include Philippe Starck, Ron Arad and Marc Newson, while attention is given to the innovations of Italian manufacturers, such as Cappellini and B&B Italia, and the increasing influence of conceptual design, from the theoretical proposals of Droog Design to the commercial products of Moooi.
Extensively illustrated with quality colour photography, from the V&A and elsewhere, this is the first book to take an in-depth look at a period where contemporary design achieved a level of mass interest previously unthinkable. For designers and aficionados alike, this is an important book.
