Overview:

Before there was Martha Stewart' there was Russel Wright (1904-1976)' the great mid-century modern American designer who pioneered the concept of "easier living" for the middle class' a uniquely American lifestyle that was gracious but contemporary and informal. Yet despite Wright's enormous influence' there has been no major survey of his work until now. This handsome volume showcases more than 125 of Wright's best designs for inexpensive' mass-produced dinnerware' textiles' and furniture. As the flurry of Wright auction activity on Ebay shows' there is a thriving collectors' market for his designs. NOTE: This is a Scratch and Dent version and accordingly MAY NOT have a dust jacket.
