Eero Aarnio - Designer of Color and Joy
Helsinki: Designmuseo, 2016. Sewn cl. The Finnish designer's innovative designs for seating (e.g., the Grand chair, the Ball chair, the Bubble chair) first caught the world's attention in the early 1960s. Later designs of furniture (and journal covers, toys, space separators, plastic sculptures) have made him a major figure in the design world for over half a century. As the head of Designmuseo (Helsinki) writes in her preface, "his work and design thinking combine a modernist Finnish language of form with an international avant-garde approach, revealing a deep understanding of production processes and his own visual thinking." Beautifully illustrated with a varied sampling of Aarnio's designs and photos of the designer at key moments of his career. 234 p., 26 x 26 cm, approx. 200 color and b/w illus., ENGLISH. Item #1686
