Design di Mies Van der Rohe.
Paperback with flaps, 240x170mm, 152p, IT edition , new conition ! . ISBN 9788837060466. Con questo studio si intende offrire, attraverso una serie di brevi capitoli, una descrizione degli eventi che tra gli anni Venti e gli anni Cinquanta hanno contribuito a produrre un nuovo universo di forme, che rappresenta il fondamento da cui discende la nostra contemporanea sensibilita formale. L'architettura di Mies punta sulla rappresentativita e Mies presta molta attenzione agli arredi previsti per i suoi spazi. Negli edifici e negli arredi da lui progettati la proporzione e premessa della bellezza e dell'armonia, mentre l'uomo ne e la misura.

BOOR ALLISON CHRISTOPHER JOHN WILLIAM JONATHAN & PETER
Philadelphia Empire Furniture
Distributed for Boor Management by University Press of New England Lebanon: 2007. Hardcover with dustjacket. Brand new book. This is the first book-length study of American furniture from Philadelphia's Neo-Classical period. It looks closely for the first time at Philadelphia Empire furniture and the development of decorative arts in Philadelphia between 1800 and 1840. The authors explore Neo-Classicism contemporary history of Philadelphia the emergence of Greek-Revival architecture and the cabinetmakers of Philadelphia Empire furniture. The furniture illustrated in this comprehensive catalogue comes from various sources including the Philadelphia Museum of Art the Atheneum of Philadelphia the Winterthur Museum in Delaware The Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York The White House Historical Association and from many private collections. At the beginning of the 19th century Greek-inspired architecture gained popularity in Philadelphia and the city became known for its classically-inspired monumental buildings. Newly designed structures of ancient inspiration were decorated with classical furniture that became the prevailing style in private homes as well as public buildings. The arrival of immigrant craftsmen from Europe in the early 19th century and their subsequent collaboration with American furniture makers produced highly sophisticated Empire designs. Neither French nor English the designs incorporated purely American elements and became known as American Empire. Nineteenth-century Philadelphia Empire craftsmen were particularly well-known for their extensive motif carving which often has a fluid three-dimensional character. Philadelphia Empire Furniture illustrates in color and describes in detail hundreds of Philadelphia decorative art forms from this period including wood types dimensions and maker if known. Chapters are dedicated to each of the following forms: card tables platform pedestal tables pier tables worktables sofas chairs sideboards secretaries chests bedsteads looking glasses clocks and other decorative elements. A separate chapter is devoted to the previously unpublished sketchbook of accomplished craftsman Anthony G. Quervelle. Besides Quervelle other talented and successful Philadelphia furniture makers included Michel Bouvier Charles White Cook & Parkin and Joseph B. Barry among several. This book provides historical data about their lives and careers. ISBN: 0977781607. Distributed for Boor Management by University Press of New England, Lebanon: 2007 hardcover
