Compact Design Portfolio: Arne Jacobsen

Description

These newest additions to the successful Compact Design Portfolio series focus on designers whose works are as visionary as they are recognisable: Arne Jacobsen, a mid-century modern master whose Ant Chair now outnumbers the population of his native Denmark; and Karim Rashid, whose popular designs -- found everywhere from Target to Nambe -- have made him a household name. As with the other titles in the series, the books are written by a renowned design critic and provide substantial galleries of each designer's works in a handy package.

Christopher Mount is an educator, writer, and curator specializing in 20th-century architecture and design. He curated Arne Jacobsen's centenary exhibition for the Scandinavia House in 2002. He lives in New York City. Raul Cabra is the principal of Cabra Diseno, a San Francisco design firm. Marisa Bartolucci is former executive editor of Metropolis magazine and the author of several critically acclaimed design books. She lives in New York City.
