Description

A comprehensive and authoritative publication on one of the popular periods of international design, including architecture, furniture, ceramics, applied arts, graphics, and textiles

Originating as a rebellious movement in philosophy and literature, Postmodernism proclaimed the death of modernism and promoted a new, nonlinear way of approaching architecture and design, spearheaded by Michael Graves, Robert Venturi, Ettore Sottsass, and Alessandro Mendini. It changed into a style in itself and the defining look of the 1980s.

Postmodern Design Complete is the comprehensive connection with this era of vibrant design, because it profiles key creators including Graves, Mendini, Sottsass, Venturi, Charles Jencks, and Denise Scott Brown and covers the fields of architecture, furniture, graphic design, textiles, and product and industrial design. A section on Living with Postmodernism presents fifteen seminal homes and their furnishings; and a final section titled Postmodernism Continues is a comprehensive overview of up to date makers. Highly informed and accessible texts are illustrated by more than 1,000 images that bring in combination classics and little-seen rarities, extraordinary objets d’art, and industrially produced items. This definitive volume also features a foreword by Charles Jencks and an afterword by Denise Scott Brown, followed by a substantial reference section.

1,000 illustrations in color and black and white
