ArchitectureWeek Description The sensuous lines of Bruno Mathsson's furniture designs made him one of the leading figures of Swedish modernism in the 1930s. Chairs that adapted to their occupant with graceful curves became his trademark and have been in continuous production for more than 50 years. In his less familiar architectural work, he applied the same principles of innovation and comfort. This survey of his work explores the connections between ergonomics, aesthetics, materials, and environmental concerns. Amazon Customer Average Rating:  Some Related Books...
