Mid-Century Modern by Cara Greenberg

Cara Greenberg surveys the furniture that helped define 1950s modern design, from sculptural chairs to streamlined tables and storage. Period material and photographs place the designs in context, making this an illustrated reference for collectors, interiors enthusiasts and readers interested in post-war design. New photography is by Tim Street-Porter.
