Beginning with the Industrial Revolution that originated in Britain in the mid-18th century, this book traces the history of modern furniture. Centred around this narrative and illustrated with numerous plates and drawings, it follows the lineage of product design, spanning the globe from Thonet and Le Corbusier to Eames and Wegner, to Taro Okamoto and Shiro Kuramata. The journey thus connects previously isolated points in a constellation of global design. Edited by Naoki Terada, it draws upon industry expertise and the designer’s own perspective. It is an essential volume for anyone involved in design, an unprecedented textbook that holds essential insights worth revisiting.
