Customer Reviews

Great Vintage Design Book!!

This book is wonderful if you are interested in 70's vintage design. It's got a lot of the heavy hitters highlighted, David Hicks, Donghia, Michael Taylor, John Dickinson. If you can find a copy in great condition it would make a nice coffee table book. But I would recommend even buying a rough copy just to use as a reference book for great vintage design. This is a book I will go to for ideas over and over and still find cool things. Highly recommend!

A True Classic

I bought this book over 25 years ago and consider it a true classic. Trends may come and go, but the sophisticated and timeless style featured in the traditional section has inspired me again and again. Particularly helpful are the sections on historical furniture styles and space planning. Just what you would expect from the New York Times.

furniture its history and staying power

If there is truth to the idea that everything old becomes new again in design and fashion this book may just prove it to be true. this 1976 book if filled with style that is timeless and proves that somewhere in the gaudiness of the seventies,a look that has lasted and still prevails did exist. great book for any furniture collector ,for a look at the then and now in a wonderful perspective.
