Friedrich Kiesler, Designer: Seating Furniture of the 30s and 40s - Softcover
Synopsis
Previously unpublished material relating to Austro-American artist/architect Friedrich Kiesler's (1890-1965) innovative furniture designs and prototypes from the 1930s and 40s are showcased in this comprehensive volume. Also included are letters, diary entries and photographs that chronicle the New York cultural environment in which Kiesler lived and worked, and provide rarely documented insight into the role he played in the contemporary design scene. Shortly after emigrating to New York in 1925, Kiesler became an important mediator between European and American positions in the fields of design and architecture. In the following years, he designed furniture and exhibitions, and articulated the fundamental principles of a critical theory of functional architecture and design. Concepts that are being thoughtfully revisited by today's designers--flexibility, dynamism and multifunctionality--were constant elements in Kiesler's theoretical constructs, as evidenced in this volume.

Condition: Neu. Neu - Als der Architekt, Bühnenbildner und Künstler Friedrich Kiesler (1890-1965) im Jahr 1925 von Wien nach New York übersiedelt, nimmt er schnell die Rolle des Vermittlers zwischen den verschiedenen europäischen und amerikanischen Positionen in Design und Architektur ein: Er entwirft Möbeleinrichtungen, gestaltet Ausstellungen und formuliert Thesen zu einer ganzheitlichen, kritisch-funktionalen Design- und Architekturtheorie. Dieses Buch widmet sich ganz dem Design des Multitalents und zeigt erstmals bisher unbekanntes Material zu seinen innovativen Entwürfen und Prototypen von Sitzmöbeln der 1930er und 1940er Jahre. Briefe, private Tagebuchaufzeichnungen und Fotos dokumentieren seine Arbeit als Designer und geben einen Eindruck vom kulturellen New Yorker Umfeld, in dem Kiesler tätig war. Die Neuauflage einiger seiner Entwürfe durch die Firma Wittmann Möbelwerkstätten zeigt die Aktualität seines zukunftsweisenden Designs. Seller Inventory # INF1000108617
