Op to Pop: Furniture of the 1960s by Cara Greenberg (Book)

About the Item

Whether it's a lipstick-red love seat shaped like Marilyn Monroe's lips, an anthropomorphic "man" chaise, a bean bag chair, or a "domestic capsule unit," 1960s furniture still has the power to startle and delight. In Op to Pop, Cara Greenberg takes on the little explored but exciting and fertile era of furniture design, providing original, readable scholarship that places 60s furnishings in a cultural context and helps sort the good from the fad. She explores in detail the roots of and influences on 60s design, from space travel to Pop Art, in a joyful visual tour of the decade's bold and fresh looking furniture output. Op to Pop features 250 photographs plus a source guide to the growing number of outlets for the 1960s furniture design. 192 pages. 125 colour and 125 black-and-white photographs. 1.24 kg.

“The Paris Salons”, 1895-1914 Furniture ‘Book’
Located in Montelabbate, PU
This is the third in a multi-volume collection providing a visual catalogue record of the decorative arts of the Paris Salons. Included in this volume are reproductions of the catalogue illustrations of furniture at the Exposition Universelle of 1900, the annual Salons du Mobilier, and the celebrated 1903 and 1904 expositions of the Ecole de Nancy in the French capital. This chronological record clearly shows the revolution in furniture design that transpired in France at the turn of the century. The illustrations trace precisely the emergence of the art nouveau style in the 1890s, its high point between the 1900 Exposition Universelle and the 1903 Salons, its demise between 1905-1909, the return to period revivalism and the transitional art nouveau - art deco style of 1910-1912 with the proto - art deco style of the immediate pre-war years (1911-1914). Many examples of non-art nouveau works from the period are also included. Hundreds of these contemporary illustrations...
