Furniture and Furnishings: A Visual Guide

by Antony White, Bruce Robertson

As Furniture & Furnishings examines and illustrates all the major items and objects of modern furniture with more than 1400 text entries and 1000 key line illustrations. The text and illustrations complement each other, so that the reader can begin with either the object or the word. All the main types of each object of furniture are featured, together with their methods of construction, their parts and their decoration, both formal and surface. Even more information is provided by an illustrated timechart of furniture periods, brief biographies of 70 furniture designers, and descriptions of more than 100 furniture styles.

Great reference book that would be helpful for designers and visual artists of all varieties, not just interior design. Checked out at my local library and may grab it again when I need some inspiration. Really cool design motifs and devices
