Description

This intimate portrait of both iconic and unknown midcentury European designers and architectural masterpieces reveals an inspiring personal approach to modernism. This gorgeously photographed volume features the intimate and private spaces of both the icons and unknown vanguards of European midcentury architecture and design. Showcasing the functional great thing about midcentury design, Modern Originals presents the innovative homes by one of the most compelling and influential European midcentury designers, including Le Corbusier, Alvar Aalto, Finn Juhl, Robin and Lucienne Day, and Gae Aulenti, to name a couple of.

Williamson gained exclusive get admission to to homes which are frequently closed to the public, and this intimacy is reflected in her richly detailed photographs. Each and every chapter is dedicated to a single home where the interiors are intact as they were lived in by their designers. Examples include the iconic Studio Achille Castiglioni in Milan; the Helsinki home of Aino and Alvar Aalto with signs of functionalism preserved; Finn Juhl’s Scandinavian farmhouse, with warm woods and bursts of number one colors; and Carlo Mollino’s eccentric Italian lair filled with his sensually shaped designs. This rare glimpse into the personal spaces of legendary designers within the midcentury canon reveals the highest expression of their ideas created for probably the most demanding of clients: themselves.
