Mid-Century Modernism
Designers and Objects of the Ever-Popular Mid-Century Movement
Embark on a surprising and joyful visual tour of American mid-century modernism through hundreds of photographs, drawings, and pieces of ephemera collected by the iconic Cranbrook Academy of Art, where the movement began.
Featuring essential figures such as Charles and Ray Eames, Harry Bertoia, Florence Knoll, and Eero Saarinen alongside women and designers of color that have historically been eclipsed, the book offers a fresh perspective on this beloved and influential movement.
