Gerd Hatje and Elke Kaspar [Editors]: NEW FURNITURE 8 [NEUE MÖBEL / MUEBLES MODERNOS]. New York: Praeger, 1966. First edition. Text in English, German and Spanish. Quarto. Yellow cloth decorated in black. Photo illustrated dust jacket. Black endpapers. 152 [vi] pp. 419 black and white photographs. Page edges lightly sun yellowed. Jacket with two small chips to rear panel, and faint wear. Nice and clean: a very good copy in a very good dust jacket.
8.75 x 12 book, with 152 pages and 419 black and white photographs of contemporary furniture, circa 1966. Beautifully designed and printed in Germany on high-quality glossy paper. Highly recommended. These volumes -- whether you call them "Neue Mobel," "Meubles Nouveaux," or "Muebles Modernos” -- are actively sought and rarely remain on the market for long. You have been warned.
A complete index provides names and addresses of designers and manufacturers.
From the dust jacket: "This is the eighth volume of New Furniture, a series devoted to the survey of international furniture. It contains 419 illustrations showing the best and most interesting designs of chairs, sofas, beds, tables, cabinets, shelves, office furniture, and nursery furniture by designers from around the world. This wide scope makes it possible for the reader to compare different trends and to discern future developments.”
“A complete index that includes names and addresses of designers and manufacturers adds greatly to the usefulness of this volume. The magazine "Interiors" has called this series "probably the best international furniture review between two covers available anywhere. It is thorough and broad in its coverage, selected with great taste and a sharp sense of what constitutes interesting design news."
