Chairs that adapted to their occupant with graceful natural curves became his trademark and have been in continuous production for more than fifty years. In his less familiar architectural work, Mathsson (1907-1988) applied the same principles of innovative comfortable living. Throughout his work the connections between design and ergonomics, aesthetics and innovative materials, energy saving and environmental concerns resonate for designers today. This book surveys Mathsson's output as an architect and designer as well as his relationships with American architects and designers including Frank Lloyd-Wright, Charles and Ray Eames, and Hans Knoll. Extensive illustrations include unpublished photographs of his Mathsson's work in situ. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eDistributed for the Bard Graduate Center for Studies in the Decorative Arts, Design, and Culture \u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eExhibition Schedule: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBard Graduate Center for Studies in the Decorative Arts, Design, and Culture (spring 2007)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSwedish Cultural Center, Seattle, Wa (summer 2007)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Dag Widman\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0300121911\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780300121919\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Other Distribution\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/28\/2007\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 224\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 3.72lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 12.22h x 9.72w x 1.15d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eLibrary Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 04\/15\/2007 pg. 89","brand":"Dag Widman","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44076000477439,"sku":"9780300121919","price":60.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_248fb5c2-5d22-4395-8594-5881325c3b87.jpg?v=1685462620","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/bruno-mathsson-dag-widman-9780300121919","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
