As the world rebuilt in the wake of the Great War, a wave of ambitious modernist designers established the International Style, experimenting with new forms, materials, and techniques. With more than 600 illustrations, this survey showcases and analyzes the work of such figures as Alvar Aalto, Marcel Breuer, Eileen Gray, Le Corbusier, Ludwig Mies van der Rohe, and Frank Lloyd Wright. The text assesses how these artists transformed our living spaces and changed the way we think about design, and the book is supplemented by an illustrated A to Z of designers, architects, and manufacturers.
