Mid-Century Modern: Icons of Design

From Eames chairs to Poul Henningsen lamps, George Nelson clocks to Jens Risom tables, this boxed set explores some of the most popular examples of mid-20th-century design in four accordion-folded books: Chairs, Lighting, Product & Industrial Design, and Tables & Storage. Each page/panel introduces a designer and a particular product, discussing what inspired it as well as its place in design history, while on the back of the panel is a larger, unlabeled drawing of the item in color, allowing you to unfold the book as a wordless display of iconic designs.
