    Summary note
    "Designed to be a companion to the classic title '1000 Chairs', this two-volume edition contains an awesome selection of over 1200 lights. Presented chronologically by decade are history's most interesting electric lights, from Swan and Edison's first incandescent light bulbs to Tiffany's beautiful leaded glass shades to completely outrageous designs from the late 1960s and 1970s to the latest high-tech LED products. All major styles are represented here - Arts & Crafts, Art Nouveau, Art Deco, Modern Movement, De Stijl, Postwar, Pop, Radical, Post-modern and contemporary - in two volumes of truly illuminating works. This definitive reference work is a must-have for collectors and design fans"--Inside front cover.
