(Preface) 'This wide-ranging survey offers a comprehensive overview of every aspect of modernist design, showcasing the way in which technological innovation and a new aesthetic and philosophical framework revolutionised the built environment in the first half of the twentieth century, transforming our living spaces and lifestyles, and fundamentally changing the way we think about design.With sections on furniture, lighting, ceramics and glass, industrial and product design, graphics and posters, houses and interiors, as well as profiles of seventy influential creators, the book's scope is unprecedented. Over 600 illustrations present the work of designers and architects, including Alvar Aalto, Marcel Breuer, Eileen Gray, Le Corbusier, Frank Lloyd Wright and Ludwig Mies van der Rohe. Lesser-known figures are featured alongside the towering modernist icons, and rare designs are represented as well as classics, covering the breadth of this defining movement of the twentieth century.Complete with specially commissioned essays by leading experts, and an illustrated A-Z list of designers, architects and manufacturers, Modernist Design Complete is set to become the definitive reference for a generation, equally indispensable for the designer's studio, the collector's desk or the enthusiast's library.'
