About This Item
London: Phaidon, 1999. Soft cover. Very Good/Very Good. This book is the first to explore fully the so-called 'contemporary' style that dominated architecture and design from the late 1940s to the end of the 1950s. It was an era of optimism and confidence, where new ideas in architecture and design flourished alongside the emergent consumer culture. 240 pages : illustrations (some color) ; 29 cm. Reprint. White card wrapper, unclipped dust jacket. Slight shelf wear to edges, spine a little faded, no inscriptions, tight and square binding. Photographs available on request. All books dispatched same or next working day in robust packaging.
