‘This is what every student of furniture design (and probably every dealer) has been waiting for – a definitive guide to the period … all spiked with an erudite, informative text’ – Ideal Home
‘Undoubtedly the best book yet on furniture of the period’ – The Times
Firmly established as the bible of Fifties’ design, Mid-Century Modern is an exciting exploration of an era when mass-market furniture achieved a pinnacle which has never been bettered – and when form, function and flamboyance were the keynotes.

Highlights include the ten best chairs of the Fifties, glimpses inside the homes of today’s top collectors, rare photographs from the Herman Miller archives, and the personal collections of such world-famous designers as Charles Eames – all featured in over 200 stunning photographs.
