Furniture for the 21st Century

A mirror whose exquisite veneering evokes earlier times. An endlessly versatile modular boardroom table in sensuous walnut. A new-century chest whose ten different woods mimic the bold, complex strata of a rock face. Furniture for the 21st Century highlights these & many other superb pieces from thirty-six eminent designer makers whose work has been commissioned from around the world. Its hundreds of color photographs illustrate rich & startling departures from the blandness of so much recent furniture design. This visual feast of modern concept & magnificent workmanship is an essential reference for interior designers, furniture historians, students of design, & all who--like the readership of Fine Woodworking magazine--relish the ultimate marriage of art & craft.Norbury, Betty is the author of 'Furniture for the 21st Century' with ISBN 9780670891696 and ISBN 067089169X.
