Charles Rennie Mackintosh: The Complete Furniture, Furniture Design, and Interior Designs
The great Scottish architect Charles Rennie Mackintosh (18681928) has come to be seen as one of the most influential early modern designers. Like Frank Lloyd Wright, whom he rivals in popularity today, Mackintosh viewed the design of furniture and interiors as a vital part of his architectural work. Today, original Mackintosh pieces are fabulously expensive, but reproductions and objects based on his design ideas are still wildly popular.
This is the fourth edition of the primary reference work on Mackintosh furniture and the first time it has been in print in twenty years. Completely revised and redesigned, with new information and many new color illustrations, the book documents every surviving piece of Mackintosh furniture and every drawing, as well as his interior designs (including reconstructions of interiors that have been destroyed). This is an essential reference for collectors, art historians, designers, and anyone interested in the origins of modern design.

Mid-Century Modern is a loving tribute to the innovative furniture of the fifties and its enduring popularity. Fully illustrated with more than 200 full-color and black-and-white photographs, this visual tour reveals the best of post-war furniture, from high-concept designs to their kitschy counterparts. The fifties were a unique time in the history of the furniture industry. Designers with backgrounds in architecture created organically shaped furniture using the new technologies and materials developed during the war. Sensuous biomorphic designs proliferated.
