International Furniture Design for the '90s

About the Item

Rare, vintage hardback coffee table book cataloguing 1990's international furniture design. By the editors of the PBC International, published in 1991. First edition, 240 pages. "The future of product design and the fate of the technology, art and craft that lend it coherent form, parallels the development and degeneration of culture. At the most essential level, at its intellectual core, the culture of this century that is about to end has been molded by the idea of modernism."
