Über diesen Titel

Críticas

"Impressive... engaging and highly accessible."-Self Build & Design "Another beautifully produced monograph from Phaidon... A great introduction to Rietveld's beautiful Modernist aesthetic. [commenting on the fact that the book's designer, Wim Crouwel, is a former pupil at the Rietveld Academy] ...[A] very handsome book. It displays an enviable lightness of touch, and is a good example of what happens when a designer really engages with his subject matter. We reckon Mr Rietveld would have been proud."-Grafik

Reseña del editor

The richly illustrated and accessible monograph on the Dutch designer and world-renowned architect - now in paperback Gerrit Rietveld's simple yet dynamic style greatly influenced international furniture design and contributed significantly to the history of architecture. Following Rietveld from his humble beginnings as a cabinetmaker to his final years as a world-renowned architect, this book presents both his lesser-known work and his most celebrated. It explores his significance in the wider context of avant-garde movements, and his influence within De Stijl and Functionalism. This highly detailed yet accessible monograph is designed by the acclaimed Dutch designer Wim Crouwel.
