Scarce Knoll International catalogue designed by Herbert Matter. Beautiful typographic layout and illustrated with black and white and colour photographic reproductions depicting various pieces of furniture and textiles. Designs by Franco Albini, Harry Bertoia, Pierre Jeanneret, Florence Knoll, Mies van der Rohe, Isamu Noguchi, Kurt Nordstrà m, Eero Saarinen, Eszter Haraszty, Angelo Testa, Charles Sevigny, Richard Stein, and others. No date but would suggest between 1954 and 1959 given that the page number of this volume at 104 sits between the 1954 edition of 63 pages and 1959 of 120. Condition: Wear and creases to the cover boards with two small tears on front cover and some delamination on the corners. There is evidence of damp to the bottom of the book most of the way through. The rear facing page has come away from the ring binder. [Note: Undated - text suggests between 1954 and 1959, based on page count vs known editions] POSTAGE: UK postage is free. Overseas postage is quoted for parcels up to 2kg (2-3kg for the heavier books). If your parcel weighs over 3kg I will contact you to agree extra postage. If the actual postage is much less than quoted I will refund the difference.…
