Flying Furniture Unsere Architektur Rollt, Schwimmt, Fliegt/Our Architecture Rolls, Swims, Flies

The artist and architect Peter Smithson is one of the best-informed and insightful critics of Modernist and Postmodernist architecture. In Flying Furniturehe sheds light on the construction of furniture, particularly mobile furniture, which has rendered obsolete the distinction between 'movables' and 'immovables.' The works featured here extend from Bauhaus up to the present day, representing such essential designers as Alison and Peter Smithson, Stefan Wewerka, El Lissitzky, Jean Prouve, Marcel Breuer, Walter Gropius, Mies van der Rohe and Gerrit Rietveld. The book itself testifies to the possibilities and dynamism of the field of design with its unique shape, its playful layout and the witty remarks and quotations throughout.Bruchauser, Axel is the author of 'Flying Furniture Unsere Architektur Rollt, Schwimmt, Fliegt/Our Architecture Rolls, Swims, Flies' with ISBN 9783883754055 and ISBN 3883754056.
