California Design, 1930-1965: "Living in a Modern Way" (Hardcover)

In Good used condition with most wear notable on outer sleeve and slight yellowing of inner pages. If you are interested in California modern design, its influences and its effects on the world, this is a beautiful book for research and inspiration. Dimensions: 12”x9.75”x1.5” 359 pages Published in 2011, California Design includes 350 images, most in color, of furniture, ceramics, metalwork, architecture, graphic and industrial design, film, textiles, and fashion, and ten incisive essays that trace the rise of the California design aesthetic. This generously illustrated book, which accompanied a major exhibition at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, is the first comprehensive examination of California's mid-century modern design. It begins by tracing the origins of a distinctively California modernism in the 1930s by such European émigrés as Richard Neutra, Rudolph Schindler, and Kem Weber; it finds other specific design influences and innovations in solid-color commercial ceramics, inspirations from Mexico and Asia, new schools for design training, new concepts about leisure, and the conversion of wartime technologies to peacetime use (exemplified by Charles and Ray Eames's plywood and fiberglass furniture).
