Furniture Design is a comprehensive handbook and reference book. It presents important historical and contemporary designs and discusses the questions that have always concerned furniture designers: - What is furniture design? - Which functions does furniture design have to fulfil? - How to craft design? - Which materials are suitable for what? - Which materials are sustainable? In addition to an overview of the history of furniture design, particularly successful works by contemporary designers such as Ron Arad, Yves Béhar, Konstantin Grcic, Ronan & Erwan Bouroullec are presented. Detailed explanations of the manufacturing processes and characteristics of the most important design materials (metal, wood, plastic) complete the work.
