German architect Ludwig Mies van der Rohe is, without doubt, one of the pioneering masters of modern architecture.

Alvar Aalto (1898-1976) is the most prestigious Finnish architect of the last century, and the father of Nordic Modernism. He once said, "God created paper for the purpose of drawing architecture on it.

This book offers a comprehensive study of the pioneers of moulding techniques for furniture.

Charlotte Perriand (1903-1999) is one of Modernism's inspirational heroines, a designer whose example makes others want to follow in her footsteps.

Reflecting the series' focus on design, special attention has been paid to the layout and binding, making these books designer objects in their own right. 180 illustrations
