Editorial Reviews: Product Description The fastest growing segment of the art and collectibles market is Mid-Century Modern furniture and decorative arts. What-ever the reasons for this, modern is back - in all its shockingly bright and basic colours and its sleek go-with-anything lines. Each piece is a statement of art. From furniture artists Eames & Nakashima to ceramicists Scheier, Natzler, Cabat & Grotell, we learn about the creations of America's great designers whose bodies of work dovetail neatly into one another, in spite of how vastly different they are.

Customer Reviews: Not What I had Hoped November 20, 2001 37 out of 44 found this review helpful Despite the appearance of the Eames Lounge on the dust jacket for this book it offers precious little information on this type of classic mid-century modern furniture. More than half of the book is devoted to ceramics and the furniture portion is primarily devoted to designers and designs that you may never have heard of. There is a very brief section in the back of the book that pertains to "Other Designers". These "others" include Charles Eames and George Nelson! Perhaps the glass and ceramic items and the odd and rare furniture in this book are your cup of tea. Then this book is perfect for you. The format is nice and the photography is well done. However, if, like me, you are into collecting more mainstream "mid-century" modern furniture (by such little noted designers as Eames or Nelson) you might want to put your money towards a different book because this volume contains little information you will find useful.
