Customer Reviews

Classic Moderns made Easy

What a great book! Miriam breaks down the elusive "Classic Modern Chair" into time periods and even current availability. So popular, the publish was out of them for a time. I highly recommend this to any designer, student, or anyone else interested in modern periods and furniture!

If you love chairs, you need this book

Miriam Stimpson uses this book in her course, and it's one of the few books I kept from college. Great photographs recording the history and diversity of classic furniture. Mostly seating. I learned a ton, and was inspired to design furniture myself
