With more than 2,000 entries, this authoritative and comprehensive text covers the subject of furniture in its entirety. References range from ancient forms and styles through the postmodern era in all regions of the world. 500 illustrations.
This book is an excellent reference book, a requirement for a class I took entitled "History of Furniture and Architecture." If you are looking for a picture book, this isn't for you. Its black and white drawings are serviceable, but it is the text that makes it so valuable. There are informative synopses of different periods of furniture design and clear definitions. Overall it is a must-have addition for a design student's reference library.
