Modern Design In Metal by Richard Stewart
After featuring Modern Design In Wood by Richard Stewart, it seems only right that we feature the companion piece - Modern Design In Metal by Richard Stewart, which is even better.
Again published in 1979, Modern Design In Metal is pretty much a must-have for anyone interested in 70s design. Covering everything from sculptural pieces to interior design, it flags up all the big names as well as some minor players worth seeking out. The name items include sculpture from Barbara Hepworth, Georg Jensen jewellery, Garrard candelabras, Heals tableware, David Mellor cutlery, Pieff and of course, Merrow Associates furniture (including a stunning Merrow desk).
A superb reference, not to mention a fascinating read. Again, this is long out of print, but Abebooks should throw a couple of copies up.
