Description

Globalization affects each and every aspect of our lives, from what we buy to what we eat to what we study-and the study of design history is no exception. Programs in art, architecture, and interior design all face the challenge of providing students with information from world wide. History of Furniture: A Global View covers the most important historical movements in furniture design (from prehistoric periods through latest times) and includes parts of the arena that traditional history books ignore or underserve, such as Africa and China. It presents the achievements of Western furniture designers, not in isolation from the remainder of the globe, but in vibrant contact with it. As an example, students will learn concerning the influence of Islamic design on Romanesque style and Thailand’s interpretation of Art Nouveau. In short, this comprehensive book with a global standpoint makes a speciality of the evolution of furniture from ancient history through postmodernism.
