Book The Impossible Collection of Design by Assouline

Description

In recent years, the decorative furniture niche has become of immense interest to collectors, causing a surge 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 art history, themes can be traced through changing trends: design versus machine, design versus craft, design versus art - a story that continues to unfold.

This oversized, hand-bound deluxe edition traces the development 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, depicting the dynamic history of a revolutionary century. through the evolution of everyday human objects.

Exclusive white gloves and canvas tote bag are included with every purchase of an Ultimate Collection book.
