Bruno Mathsson Architect and Designer. (BM_Book)
Bruno Mathsson

Description:

Yale University Press
This book surveys Mathsson's output as an architect and designer as well as his relationships with American architects and designers including Frank Lloyd-Wright, Charles and Ray Eames, and Hans Knoll. Extensive illustrations include unpublished photographs of Mathsson’s work in situ.
Bruno Mathsson is portrayed by three authors:

Dag Widman (formerly chief curator of applied arts at the Nationalmuseum, Stockholm) explores the person as well as the furniture designer. Through his work DaG Widman met Bruno Mathsson on several occasions and also interviewed him.
Karin Winter (curator at the Swedish Museum of Architecture) has visited most of Mathsson's buildings - a total of forty. She looks for sources of inspiration, compares types, considers the use of different building materials and coins the term "the Mathsson concept" to describe his glasshouse architecture.
Nina Stritzler-Levine (director of exhibitions at the Bard Graduate Center, New York) writes about Mathsson's considerable reception in the UUnited States - starting from the time Edgar Kaufmann Jr noticed him at the Paris World's Fair in 1937, an encounter that led to his furniture being placed in the Museum of Modern Art, New York.
