| Description: |
A intimate and revealing collection of astonishingly beautiful, iconic and undiscovered mid century interiors. The book contains 15 houses as 15 separate chapters. The houses were residences designed by iconic mid-century architects and designers for themselves, including: Walter Gropius, Charles and Ray Eames, Harry Bertoia, Albert Frey, George Nakashima, Jens Risom, Wharton Esherick, Eva Zeisel, Russel Wright, Ray Kappe, Vladimir Kagan, Irving Harper, Jerry & Evelyn Ackerman and JB Blunk. Each house will have 10 to 16 pages, with about the same number of photographs, which show the overall spaces as well as intimate details of the design and furnishings. A previously unseen look inside some of the mid-century's best known designers's homes. |
| Synopsis: |
An intimate and revealing collection of photographs of astonishingly beautiful, iconic, and undiscovered mid-century interiors. Among significant mid-century interiors, none are more celebrated yet underpublished as the homes created by architects and interior designers for themselves. This collection of newly commissioned photographs presents the most compelling homes by influential mid-century designers, such as Russel Wright, George Nakashima, Harry Bertoia, Charles and Ray Eames, and Eva Zeisel, among others. Intimate as well as revelatory, Williamson's photographs show these creative homes as they were lived in by their designers: Walter Gropius's historic Bauhaus home in Massachusetts; Albert Frey's floating modernist aerie on a Palm Springs rock outcropping; Wharton Esherick's completely handmade Pennsylvania house, from the organic handcarved staircase to the iconic furniture. Personal and breathtaking by turn--these homes are exemplary studies of domestic modernism at its warmest and most creative. |
