the Vitra Design Museum publishes the Atlas of Furniture Design , a new comprehensive overview on the history of modern furniture design. With more than 1,000 pages, the Atlas is the most extensive book ever to be published on the topic. It documents 1,740 objects by over 540 designers, and features more than 2,800 illustrations, from object photographs to design sketches and interiors as well as patents, brochures, art, architecture, and portraits of the designers. The Vitra Design Museum collection, which counts among the world?s largest of its kind with upwards of 20,000 objects, including over 7,000 pieces of furniture, serves as the basis for Atlas of Furniture Design . The publication includes works by the most significant designers of the past 230 years and documents all important stages of design history. This includes 19th century furniture made out of bentwood and metal, Art Nouveau and Secession style designs, iconic designs by protagonists of modernism such as Le Corbusier, Gerrit Rietveld, Charlotte Perriand, Marcel Breuer, and Eileen Gray, but also post-war, post-modern, and contemporary furniture by designers such as Charles and Ray Eames, Eero Saarinen, Gae Aulenti, Finn Juhl, Ettore Sottsass, Philippe Starck, Hella Jongerius, Jasper Morrison, and Konstantin Grcic. The Atlas of Furniture Design is the product of over 20 years of research at the Vitra Design Museum and was compiled by a team of more than 70 authors. It contains comprehensive essays on the socio-cultural and design-historical contexts of furniture design, over 550 detailed texts on pioneering objects, and numerous information graphics that provide new visual insights into the history of furniture design. Furthermore, the book contains a complete appendix that includes designer biographies, bibliographies, a glossary of producers and materials, as well as a keyword index. These features make this publication an encyclopedic reference guide and indispensable resource for collectors, scholars, and experts, and without a doubt a book to be treasured by design lovers all over the world. The Atlas of Furniture Design is a treasure trove that offers not only definitive information about beloved staples of design history, but also new, fresh and often unexpected perspectives, all presented in a generous format that captures the breadth and depth of this important subject. Paola Antonelli, Senior Curator of Architecture and Design, The Museum of Modern Art Mateo Kries, director of the Vitra Design Museum and co-editor of the publication, explains: The Atlas paints a portrait of our entire collection while simultaneously providing an unprecedented overview of the history of modern furniture. The publication is set up to provide a new comprehensive outline for scholars of furniture design by considering the latest academic research, questioning extant knowledge, and giving top experts a platform to share their ideas. The book touches on a range of subjects spanning the beginnings of industrialization to digitalization, which is becoming increasingly influential in contemporary furniture design. Whether as a selection of iconic designs or as a history of styles, a chronicle of evolution or of revolution, a history of objects or of images, or a narrative of domestic habits or of individual designers, this book can be read in a vast range of ways. But the Atlas of Furniture Design can also be enjoyed by readers who prefer to dispense with complex theories and just want to concentrate on each single object.

Furniture in the Russian Interior of Late XIX - Early XX centuries [Mebel' v russkom inter'ere kontsa XIX - nachala XX vekov]
Strugova, O: Furniture in the Russian Interior of Late XIX - Early XX centuries [Mebel' v russkom inter'ere kontsa XIX - nachala XX vekov]. Moscow: 2005. 444 pages, fully illustrated in colour. Text in russian, detailed list of illustrations in english. Published by Izdatelskiy Dom Rudentsoviuh. Limited edion of 2000. Hardback. 30 x 21.5cms. The author studies the interior in a rich period of Russian art and design known as the Silver Age when such new artistic styles as Symbolism, Art Nouveau, and forms of early avant-garde arose. She introduces her monograph by looking at the interior and its furniture from several points of view: the structure that determines the space of a given interior; the floors, walls, and ceilings, molding and reliefs, built-in forms of lighting and heating in which the furniture finds its place. She then examines furniture of all styles current at the time and the ways in which it suited the interior as an additional architectural element, which was especially true for Art Nouveau. In the age of industrial design fine furniture became affordable by the middle class, making well-built, designed, and furnished interiors more widespread. Also distinct to the period was the broadening role of the artist-painter as designer of works of applied art including furniture. Text in Russian (Cyrillic).
