Summary: Technical, well documented, this book has everything...
Review: ... but the touch of style. By the time it was designed, this book was a fair demonstration of what a technical coffee table book should be. Many pictures, many references to topics anyone could understand: Modigliani, Paul Poiret or Chanel influence on Le Corbusier style. It also contains many original drawings from Le Corbusier. You can understand armchairs genesis and structure. The rectangural italian format of the book is quite on line with the sober design of the cover page. A good buy if you can find it.
