Leichtmöbel / Light furniture

Today's relatively small and rationally conceived households units call for uncomplicated, easily transportable and multi-functional pieces of furniture. "Light furniture" satisfies these demands. The pieces are serviceable, simple and the construction is of high quality. They do not dominate room space and are closely connected to our every lines. They simplify our daily routines and embellish the mundane and the habitual. By way of sketches, plans, photographs and commentary, Johannes Spalt presents an interesting selection of contemporary and period pieces of light furniture.
