| book description |

This volume surveys and documents the development of interiors and furniture in Switzerland from the end of the 19th century to the present day. Following introductory essays by Lucius Burckhardt and Stanislaus Moos, both experts in design research, there are seven main chapters each focusing on a period of 15 years; these are complemented by detailed information on those masterpieces that can be considered to define the epoch. Some 20 representative interiors reveal the significant changes that have taken place in living space in the 20th century. A fully illustrated catalogue of over 300 objects from furniture to ceramics and household objects and around 150 biographies conclude the publication. Much of the information was previously inaccessible and contains invaluable details regarding the origins and the production of the objects. This book provides a compendium of the great classics in Swiss design, with rare early works and countless new pieces. A large part of the furniture has been photographed especially for this publication and the model furnished interiors have been drawn to the same scale.
