FURNITURE OF CLASSICAL GREECE
By T. H. Robsjohn-Gibbings + Carlton W. Pullin
A classic vintage book, and an important reference work on the internationally known furniture designer who spent more the two decades studying and collecting the design motifs found in the scultpured reliefs, vase paintings, terracottas and bronze statuettes of classical Greece. From his research, Robsjohn-Gibbings re-created 22 models that cover the full range of Greek furniture from the 6th-4th centuries B.C. Exhibited for the first time in Athens in 1961, the furniture aroused world-wide attention, this remarkable collection of "new" furniture reveals, through careful scholarship, the design masterpieces of the golden age of Greek civilization. And continues to inspire furniture designers today who appreciate the purity, harmony and delicate grace of the finest achievements of Greek art. Knopf, 1963 / in fine condition, $700.00
