Books 5 to 8 in the popular Compact Design Portfolio series profile four modern masters: Eva Zeisel for her elegantly democratic housewares that span a seventy-year career; Ingo Maurer, who raises lighting design and lamps to a high art form; Gaetano Pesce whose rejection of traditional good taste brought about revolutionary furniture design; and George Nelson, the genius behind such classics as the Marshmallow sofa and the Editor 2 typewriter. Stylish, small, and perfect for collecting, Compact Design Portfolio titles are penned by accomplished writers with real knowledge of and fresh enthusiasm for their subjects. Containing scores of illustrations for ongoing reference, this series perfectly encapsulates the life, work, and influence of the great designers of our time.
