FURNITURE FROM THE DESIGN COLLECTION
Arthur Drexler
Arthur Drexler: CHARLES EAMES. FURNITURE FROM THE DESIGN COLLECTION. NYC: Museum of Modern Art, 1973. First edition. A very good or better softcover book in stiif, photographically-printed wrappers: the covers are very lightly scuffed and there is a small sticker halo on the front endpapers. Interior unmarked and very clean. Out-of-print. 7.5 x 10 softcover book with 56 pages and 89 black & white illustrations and 1 double-page color plate. This catalog was prepared to accompany an exhibition at MoMA in 1973. Essay by Drexler, the Director of the Department of Architecture and Design.
One of the best, early expositions/appreciations of Eames¹ development of chairs, including prototypes, and one-offs: designs that never made it into production.
Includes excellent photography and catalogued text for all of the Eames furniture, from the Saarinen organic Furniture contest collaborations in 1940 to the Aluminum Group, Compact sofas and more. Much material devoted to the beloved plywood designs and prototypes: LCW, DCM, DCW, ETW, screens, etc.
