Set of four brochures showing modular furniture systems, particularly suited to libraries, designed by Terrence Cashen and produced by Jens Risom Design between 1972 and 1975. The American architect and designer Cashen is best-known as co-curator of Product Environment, an ambitious 1970 exhibition in St Louis that helped expose American audiences to cutting-edge work in polyurethane foam, vinyl inflatables, thermoplastics and modular living systems design ideas and experiments that would be projected on a larger stage two years later at MoMA s seminal New Domestic Landscape exhibition, a show dedicated to cutting-edge Italian design (or Anti-design). Cashen revisited materials and ideas developed at Product Environment for his Jens Risom-produced lines, including the use of polyurethane toward the creation of flexible and boldly graphic interior landscapes or environments. Included here are the brochures for the following: Multigon, Multigon Seating, and Multihex Seating, all based on the hexagon; and Carola, a circular study environment lending itself to single or multiple usage.Each brochure 4to, 4 pages printed in color on a black background, with triple hole punches for binder.
