Re: The Architecture Thread - 06-21-2007, 07:45 AM

I know this is not a thread about furniture design but one cannot really ignore the significance of furniture design in 20th century architecture. For architects like Frank Lloyd Wright, Joseph Maria Olbrich, Josef Hoffmann, Koloman Moser, and Charles Rennie Mackintosh, furniture was integral to the overall aesthetic intentions of the space.
