The studio wood movement, which began in the mid-1940s and continues to this day, celebrates the beauty of natural wood surfaces through designs of elegant form and balance. The best of these designs are perfection; they may never be surpassed. This book showcases exceptional examples of surface design and narrative content in the studio wood movement. It is the fifth title in GUILD Publishing's craft showcase series, and features works by more than 40 acclaimed artists in vibrant full-colour photographs.
