An exquisitely illustrated celebration of this influential style that is now at the forefront of interior design. Vintage Industrial covers the period from 1900 to 1950, which produced the raw, functional aesthetic that has become a cornerstone of modern design. This volume celebrates the engineers who shaped the industrial aesthetic as the unsung heroes of modern design and showcases their creations. Five chapters - on lighting, seating, tables, storage, and curiosities - describe the major innovations and designs from the period and include stunning photography depicting these objects in homes, workshops, factories, and warehouses.
