Summary note
In autumn 2017, the Vitra Design Museum will publish the Atlas of Furniture Design, the most comprehensive overview of the history of furniture design ever published. The 1,000-page book documents over 1,700 objects by approximately 280 designers and 130 manufacturers, and features more than 2,750 images, from detailed object photographs to historical documentation such as interiors, patents, brochures and reference works in art and architecture. The basis for the Atlas of Furniture Design is the furniture collection held by the Vitra Design Museum, one of the largest of its kind in the world with more than 7,000 works. The collection is made up of pieces from key periods in design history and by the most significant designers and manufacturers of the past 200 years, including early industrial furniture in bentwood or metal, Art Nouveau and Secessionist objects, works by protagonists of classical modernism like Le Corbusier, Gerrit Rietveld, Charlotte Perriand and Marcel Breuer, postwar figures such as Finn Juhl, Eero Saarinen and Achille Castiglioni, and postmodern and contemporary designers like Philippe Starck, Marcel Wanders and Konstantin Grcic, as well as the estates of design legends such as Charles and Ray Eames, Verner Panton, Alexander Girard, George Nelson and others.
