The basis for the Atlas of Furniture Design is the collection held by the Vitra Design Museum, one of the largest of its kind with more than 7000 works. The book presents selected pieces by the most important designers of the last 230 years and documents key periods in design history, including early nineteenth-century industrial furniture in bentwood and metal, Art Nouveau and Secessionist pieces and works by protagonists of classical modernism and postwar design, as well as postmodern and contemporary pieces. The Atlas of Furniture Design employed a team of more than 70 experts and features over 550 detailed texts about key objects. In-depth essays provide sociocultural and design-historical context to four historical epochs of furniture design and the pieces highlighted here, enriched by a detailed annex containing designer biographies, glossaries, and elaborate information graphics.
The Atlas of Furniture Design is an indispensable resource for collectors, scholars and experts, as well as a beautifully designed object that speaks to design enthusiasts.

This is an absolutely stunning book, beautifully produced and an incredible reference for all those interested in the evolution of furniture design. It arrived promptly but was very disappointed to see that the outer presentation box (comes with the book, imagery mirrors the book front cover) was defaced by two very large shipping/logistics labels. This was intended as a gift but as a result of the labels I had to give the book minus its presentation case as could not remove the labels without damaging it.
4 stars, docking a star for labelling issue.
