Woodcraft In Design And Practice - Paperback

by Rodney Hooper (Author)

First published in 1937, Woodcraft In Design And Practice contains a wealth of designs for 1930s furniture. Working from solid design principles, Rodney Hooper sets out plans for practical, modern furniture to suit the changing lifestyles of the time. Considered as part of an overall interior, his tables and chairs, shelves and cabinets, boxes, sideboards and light fittings are examples of clean, bold period design that would still sit comfortably in today's houses and flats. Illustrated throughout with black and white photographs and detailed line drawings, Woodcraft In Design And Practice is of interest both as a fascinating piece of design history and as inspiration for today's interior decorator or DIY enthusiast.
