NEW FURNITURE 11

Gerd Hatje and Elke Kaspar [Editors]

Gerd Hatje and Peter Kaspar [Editors]: NEW FURNITURE 11. New York: Architectural Book Publishing Co., 1973. First edition. Text in English and German. A nearly fine hardcover book bound in full, decorated cloth in a good (price-clipped) or better dust jacket: jacket yellowed to edges with resultant lamination bubbling. Two jacket tears tape-repaired to verso of rear panel. A decent copy from the highly coveted reference series. Interior unmarked and very clean. Out-of-print.

8.75 x 12 book, with 160 pages and 462 b/w photographs of contemporary furniture, circa 1973. Beautifully designed and printed in Germany on high-quality glossy paper. Highly recommended. These volumes -- whether you call them "Neue Mobel," "Meubles Nouveaux," or "Muebles Modernos² -- are actively sought and rarely remain on the market for long. You have been warned.

A complete index provides names and addresses of designers and manufacturers.

From the dust jacket: "This is the eleventh volume of New Furniture, a series devoted to the survey of international furniture. It contains 462 illustrations showing the best and most interesting designs of chairs, sofas, beds, tables, cabinets, shelves, office furniture, and nursery furniture by designers from around the world. This wide scope makes it possible for the reader to compare different trends and to discern future developments."

"A complete index that includes names and addresses of designers and manufacturers adds greatly to the usefulness of this volume. The magazine "Interiors" has called this series "probably the best international furniture review between two covers available anywhere. It is thorough and broad in its coverage, selected with great taste and a sharp sense of what constitutes interesting design news."
