The Post-War era "heralded a new spirit of optimism and confidence.. As a symbol of progress and prosperity, "Contemporary" became all the rage throughout that decade". This 240-page, oversized softcover/wraps, written by Lesley Jackson, was published in 1999 by Phaidon. It includes chapters on The House, The Interior, Decoration and Fittings and Furniture and Furnishings. This is a great reference for designers, architects, and collectors of 1950s furniture and design. In very good, clean, bright and unmarked condition. It will be sent carefully packed, with tracking.
