Francis de N. Schroeder [Editor]
Francis de N. Schroeder [Editor]: INTERIORS AND INDUSTRIAL DESIGN. New York: Whitney Publications, Volume 111, no. 12, July 1952. Original edition. Slim quarto. Perfect bound and sewn printed illustrated wrappers. 130 pp. Illustrated articles and trade advertisements. Cover by Finn Juhl. Wrappers lightly worn and soiled, but a very good copy.
9 x 12 magazine with color and black and white examples of the best modern American interior and industrial design, circa 1952 -- offering a magnificent snapshot of the blossoming modern movement after World War II. A very desirable, vintage publication in terms of form and content: high quality printing and clean, functional design and typography and excellent photographic reproduction make this a spectacular addition to a midcentury design collection. Highly recommended.

George Nelson famously served as Editorial contributor to Interiors, where he used the magazine as his bully pulpit for bringing modernism to middle-class America. Interiors was a hard-core interior design publication, as shown by their publishing credo: "Published for the Interior Designers Group which includes: interior designers, architects who do interior work, industrial designers who specialize in interior furnishings, the interior decorating departments of retail stores, and all concerned with the creation and production of interiors-- both residential and commercial."
