About the Item

This catalogue was issued in conjunction with a 1997 exhibition of furniture designs created by Edward Wormley. In yellow and brown illustrated wraps, with 76 pages showing 75 items exhibited with brief descriptions and black and white illustrations. "Wormley's most enduring legacy is the body of work he designed for Dunbar Furniture.

An uncommon and sought after book.
