# Mid-Century Modern - Visionary Furniture Design from Vienna: Visionary Furniture Design from Vienna - Hardcover

by **Caroline Wohlgemuth** (Author)

**Visionary furniture design from Vienna**

  

In 1938, Vienna lost its best and most creative  
minds. This rupture was manifested in all of the arts and sciences and  
its mark is felt to this day - not least in the field of furniture  
design.

With inexhaustible creativity the Jewish furniture  
designers who were forced to flee Vienna continued to work while in  
exile. They taught at the best universities and spread their ideas and  
vision throughout the entire world. Their creations became classics of  
twentieth-century furniture design, the epitome of mid-century modern  
style.

This book honors the memory of the exiled designers with a  
thorough overview of their work. It details their life stories and  
their visionary designs, which remain as relevant and contemporary as  
ever, and brings to light new aspects of the history of Viennese  
furniture design.

  

-   A new history of Viennese furniture design, with 27 detailed biographies
-   Numerous previously unpublished photographs and sketches
-   Including works by F. Dicker-Brandeis, M. Eisler, J. Frank, F. Kiesler, R. Neutra, M. Schütte-Lihotzky, E. Schwadron
