STORAGE
Interiors Library Volume Four
George Nelson
George Nelson: STORAGE. NYC: Whitney, 1954. First Edition. A fine hardcover book in a near-fine Dust jacket: DJ has a couple of tiny closed tears and a chip at the spine crown. This is the nicest edition of this book I have seen-- truly a collectors copy! Interior unmarked and very clean. A rare book in the Irving Harper-designed dust jacket.
9.25 x 12.25, hardcover book with 176 pages, with 303 b/w photos representing 138 leading furniture designers. Photos by Julius Schulmann, Ezra Stoller, Richard Avedon, among others. This book is worth its weight in gold as a reference volume for identifying midcentury furniture designs, designers and manufacturers.
Outstanding Dust jacket design by Irving Harper, the man credited with developing the design of the George Nelson clocks for Howard Miller. The DJ design alone makes this volume a welcome addition to any mid-century modern collection.
This book was George Nelson's attempt to sell modern furniture to America and it is a lavish production. Designed by the Office of George Nelson, the book itself is extremely well-designed and thoughtfully assembled. Drop-dead gorgeous photography, selected from the archives of interiors magazine (who sponsored the publication of all four volumes in their Interiors Library Series).
