Interiors
June 1959
Olga Gueft [Editor]
New York: Whitney Publications, Volume 118, no. 11, June 1959. Original edition. Slim quarto. Perfect bound and sewn printed illustrated wrappers. 160 pp. Illustrated articles and trade advertisements. Cover by Arnold Saks, photograph by Gordon Summers. Light wear overall: a very good or better copy.
9 x 12 magazine with 52 pages of color and black and white examples of the best modern American interior and industrial design, circa 1959 -- offering a magnificent snapshot of the blossoming modern movement after World War II. A very desirable, vintage publication in terms of form and content: high quality printing and clean, functional design and typography and excellent photographic reproduction make this a spectacular addition to a midcentury design collection. Highly recommended.
Contents include:
The Sheraton - Dallas by Welton Beckett & Mary Morrison Kennedy
Interiors' Contract Series '59: Stores
Joseph Magnin, Las Vegas by Victor Gruen Assoc.
The Hecht Co., Hyattsville by Daniel Schwartzman
Hutzler's Westview by Ketchum & Sharp
Takashimaya on Fifth Avenue by Junzo Yoshimura
Brasilia: Niemeyer's Presidential Palace for Brazil's New Capital
City and Country residences by Michael Greer
Fiberglass Fabric Center by Maria Bergson Assoc.
Phantom Setting for Glass: Steuben Glass Shop
Furniture Maker's Modern: Winsor White's New Designs for Baker
New Forms in Molded Chairs: Paul McCobb and Arne Jacobsen
George Nelson famously served as Editorial contributor to Interiors, where he used the magazine as his bully pulpit for bringing modernism to middle-class America. Interiors was a hard-core interior design publication, as shown by their publishing credo: "Published for the Interior Designers Group which includes: interior designers, architects who do interior work, industrial designers who specialize in interior furnishings, the interior decorating departments of retail stores, and all concerned with the creation and production of interiors-- both residential and commercial."
Interiors during its peak in the 1950s was the most beautifully designed and printed American Interiors magazine I have seen. An amazing vintage mid-century resource, not to be missed. Excellent vintage resource for wallpaper, rugs and floorware, furniture, lighting, decorative objects, etc.
