Contemporary American Furniture (eds. Raul Cabra and Dung Ngo; Universe Publishing, 2000) showcases innovative products by a new generation of furniture designers. The contents of the richly illustrated book are divided by the designers’ locations in the USA: the East Coast and the New York area, the Great In-Between, and the West Coast. The book also contains a thorough introduction to the American design scene and an index of the presented designers and the furniture manufacturers.
The graphically delicious book presents designers such as Harry Allen, Blu Dot, Constantin Boym, Nick Fine, David Khouri, Maya Lin, Ross Meuex, Karim Rashid and many others. The book is a useful sourcebook for trade and an inspirational and informative guide for consumers and students of design.
The copy in stock is in good condition, except that the covers show some shelf wear and the green colour of the spine has faded from exposure to sunlight.
