We enjoy reading any books about retro design and Vintage Furniture by Fay Sweet is certainly one that appeals to us, covering both collecting and living with modern design classics – which is what we love to do.
It’s a useful (and chronological) reference, covering the evolution of design styles, new materials and production techniques, But what makes this book particularly interesting are the examples of collectible furniture shown in their original settings – there’s over 200 items illustrated in colour and a full international source directory with up-to-date information on where to buy the pieces.
If that sounds like your thing, you can pick up a copy of this book at Amazon right now, priced at £17.50.
