In recent years, the niche of decorative furniture has attracted considerable interest from collectors, causing a sharp increase in the auction market and record sales. Chosen by design expert Frédéric Chambre, this selection of furniture unfolds like the frames of a film, an epic image composed of a hundred years of creative innovations in form, materials and techniques.
As in the history of art, themes can be traced through changing trends: design versus machine, design versus craft, design versus art—a story that continues to unfold. This deluxe, large-format, hand-bound edition traces the evolution of 20th-century design from the Art Nouveau and Arts and Crafts movements, through Bauhaus and Art Deco, Pop Art and the Memphis School, to today’s digital age, illustrating the dynamic story of a revolutionary century through the evolution of everyday objects.
