From the Publisher:
Genuinely stylish: great images & witty informative text
Ignore the competition this is THE book on modern retro and will inspire you to create a stylish individual home that combines modern classics with junk-shop finds and the best of contemporary design.
From the reviews:
"Sit back with Modern Retro, a paean to all things lovely from the 30s to the 70s. It has all the Eames, Jacobsen and Aalto you could want, and advice on where to get it and put it. Its authors are Eames experts: Andrew Weaving runs Century, that elegant Marylebone gallery, and Neil Bingham curates the dusty vaults of the RIBA Drawings Collection, and, coincidence alert, is one of two current mid-century modern gurus to hail from Winnipeg." The Guardian
Book of the Week in the Evening Standard: "Here's a new book that shows you how to incorporate retro elements from the 1920s through to the 1970s into your 21st century home without looking over the top"
