Furnitecture: Furniture That Transforms Space

A good book

If you want inspiration for some wonderful built-in living ideas for predominantly contemporary living spaces, this is the equivalent of the old Sears Christmas catalogue Wish-book. If you are looking for ideas for contemporary furniture design, this may also be a go-to resource. If you wish to be inspired for some other reason, decide if this is the right piece at the right price for you. I got mine at a very reasonable price in very good used condition, and consider it a good investment for ideas.

The book is very small in size. I was expecting something double the size. Therefore, the photos were all small. It would have served this interesting book to be physically much larger.

As what I consider to be a hard core industrial and interior designer and architect, I found this book useful and worth purchasing. I follow this stuff closely. It is substantially typical pictorial survey and "catalogue" of mostly 21st century interior "micro-architecture" and furniture. The authors categorization of the examples represented in the book into "types" is useful and what I would consider accurate. However, if your looking for scholarship, this is not the book for you.

I probably had unwarrantedly far too high expectations for this book, but it’s really no more than another poorly designed lookbook. Too many small photographs crammed into pages, that they even fail to reflect the purpose of the book, which is about “space”. Claustrophobic is the word. I would normally return a book like this, but it’s not worth the trouble.

Happy to add to library but wish it was a little more in depth

i like it very much
