Decorative Art 50s Hardcover – Download: Adobe Reader, May 6, 2013

Cool book! Bought this as a gift to mid century home collectors and they seemed to love it.

Great reference book.

This mightly little brick of a book is absolutely incredible. It's divided up into sections (such as glassware, textiles, ceramics, etc) and the content is bar-none. I will repeat my review of Decorative Art 60s when I say this is an "indespensable sourcebook", because it truly is.

Excellent book...Filled with great pictures and knowledge...Just what you have come to expect from Taschen and for a great price.

Stunning, comprehensive, HUGE, book encompassing all the high-concept decorative arts of the 1950's.If you're into Midcentury Modern, you need this book.

Taschen writes this is a sourcebook. It just shows where design comes from. What was done in that era. And this book does just that and does it good. No high-brow comment, just reproductions of pages of house-plans, chairs, sidetables, glass ceramics etc. So, if you want to know if your old chair has any historic relevance, look in this book and see if there is a design original, or you might own it! Emphasis on the US, England Scandivavia, Italy and the Netherlands.

An absolute must have for anyone with a love for the modernist design movement of the 50's and 60's, or if you're looking to stay consistent with a modernist theme while redecorating. It's so sleek and plastic and modular. I love it! And in the tradition of Taschen books, the price is well worth it!

Per quanto mi riguarda il libro e molto bello e il rapporto prezzo e ottimo,il servizio Amazon come sempre impeccabile.Essendo stato un regalo la persona conferma la bellezza e la qualità di informazioni in merito.

Ein kleiner Leitfaden in Sachen Design von damals. Und alles kommt wieder.

Nicely put together. Great as a reference book.
