This book comprehensively surveys the history of Scandinavian design, and illustrates in full colour more than five hundred of the best current designs from over seventy producers.
It also includes detailed product specifications and sources, biographies of important Nordic designers and a helpful bibliography.
Here is is an invaluable reference for everyone who loves modern furniture, and an wonderful tool for interior designers, architects, collectors and students.
The free CD-ROM (Mac or PC) – included with the book features easy-to-use screen resolution files of all the illustrations.
Judith Gura is a professor at the New York School of Interior Design, where she directs the design history program, and an associate professor at Pratt Institute. A specialist in Scandinavian design, she writes frequently on the subject for a number of publications.
