Fitzgerald Oscar P.: The Art and
Furniture of Tommy Simpson

The Art and Furniture of Tommy Simpson

The Cultural Histories Series

Covering the period from 2500 BCE to the Byzantine Era, this volume in A Cultural History of Furniture focuses on the social history of furniture found in houses, tombs and temples as narrated through the archaeological evidence. The earliest furniture can be seen as an attempt by humans to enhance their safety, comfort and social standing but it can also offer opportunities for understanding human behavior, values and thought: fine furniture was among the most valuable of possessions in the ancient world so it expressed power, wealth and status. It was appreciated as art, used in diplomacy (both as a gift and as tribute) and recorded as booty. At the same time, its practical and ceremonial uses yield important clues about the domestic environment and daily life in antiquity, as well as revealing aspects of sacred belief and funerary practices. Drawing upon a wealth of visual and textual sources, this volume presents essays that examine key characteristics of the furniture of the ancient period on the themes of design and motifs; makers, making, and materials; types and uses; the domestic setting; the public setting; exhibition and display; furniture and architecture; visual representations; and verbal representations.

A Cultural History of Furniture in Antiquity

A special survey published to celebrate 100 years of the influential and innovative Swedish design company Svenskt TennIn 1924, the pioneering designer and entrepreneur Estrid Ericson founded Svenskt Tenn in Stockholm, Sweden. Initially a workshop and retail store dedicated to pewter, Svenskt Tenn's range was quickly expanded by Ericson into one of the most successful home furnishings and interior design companies of the twentieth century.Svenskt Tenn: Interiors celebrates the legacy of the company's first 100 years, while also marking its position at the forefront of interior design today. Richly illustrated and beautifully designed, the book delves into the story of Ericson and the company she grew, examining her creative relationship with acclaimed Austrian designer Josef Frank, whose magnificent, boldly patterned textiles and furniture helped define Svenskt Tenn's distinct aesthetic.Pages of colourful imagery, including never-before-seen photographs and drawings from Svenskt Tenn's archive, reveal an immaculate selection of classic objects, furniture, and textiles, alongside examples of collaborations with contemporary designers including Michael Anastassiades, Lars Nilsson, Luca Nichetto, Ingegerd Råman, and Fornasetti. Designed by the Dutch graphic designer Irma Boom, Svenskt Tenn: Interiors shows how the iconic Swedish brand continues to create objects of the highest quality to improve and enhance everyday life.

A Guide to Making Beautiful Chairs

The Art of Chairmaking

The Middle Ages were marked by dramatic social, economic, political, and religious changes. Diverse regional and local conditions, and varied social classes - including peasant, artisan, merchant, clergy, nobility, and rulers - resulted in differing needs for furniture. The social settings for furniture included official and private residences both grand and humble, churches and monasteries, and civic institutions, including places of governance and learning, such as municipal halls, guild halls, and colleges. This volume explores how furniture contributed to the social fabric within these varied spaces. The chronological range of this volume extends from the fall of the Roman Empire through to the early Renaissance, a period which exhibited a wide array of types, styles, and motifs, including Byzantine, Romanesque, Gothic, and Renaissance. Rural and regional styles of furniture are also considered, as well as techniques of furniture manufacture. Drawing upon a wealth of visual and textual sources, this volume presents essays that examine key characteristics of the furniture of the period on the themes of Design and Motifs; Makers, Making, and Materials; Types and Uses; The Domestic Setting; The Public Setting; Exhibition and Display; Furniture and Architecture; Visual Representations; and Verbal Representations.

A Cultural History of Furniture in the Middle Ages and Renaissance

The 16th and 17th centuries in Europe witnessed a significant paradigm shift: the exploration so characteristic of the period stemmed from religious motives but came to be propelled by commerce and curiosity as Europeans increasingly engaged with the rest of the world. Interiors in both public and private spaces changed to reflect these cultural encounters and, with them, the furniture with which they were populated. Visually, furniture of this period displayed new designs, forms, and materials. In its uses, it also mirrored developments in science, technology, government and social relationships as prints became more widely distributed, the Wunderkammer developed and there was religious strife and resistance to absolute monarchical rule. Drawing upon a wealth of visual and textual sources, this volume of A Cultural History of Furniture presents essays that examine key characteristics of the furniture of the period on the themes of design and motifs; makers, making, and materials; types and uses; the domestic setting; the public setting; exhibition and display; furniture and architecture; visual representations; and verbal representations.
