CONTEMPORARY FURNITURE.
AN INTERNATIONAL REVIEW 1950 TO THE PRESENT
Klaus-Juergen Sembach (editor)

8.75 x 12 book, with 308 pages and 1,033 b/w photographs of contemporary furniture, from 1950 to 1971, with all necessary design and manufacturing indentity information provided in bi-lingual cutlines. Beautifully designed and printed in Germany on high-quality glossy paper. Highly recommended. This volume is a single edition collection of the high points from the 11 volumes of Gerd Hatješs Neue Mobel [New Furniture] series published between 1951-1971.

These volumes -- whether you call them "Neue Mobel," "Meubles Nouveaux," or "Muebles Modernos˛ -- are actively sought and rarely remain on the market for long. You have been warned.

From a review of the New Furniture series: "... a series devoted to the survey of international furniture. It contains illustrations showing the best and most interesting designs of chairs, sofas, beds, tables, cabinets, shelves, office furniture, and nursery furniture by designers from fourteen countries. 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."
