LIVING SPACES by George Nelson

1952 Interiors Library Series Volume One

146 pages, with 232 black and white photos and floorplans

George Nelson: LIVING SPACES [Interiors Library Series Volume One]. New York: Whitney, 1952. First Edition. Small folio. Blue cloth stamped in silver. 146 pp. 232 black and white photographs and diagrams.

9.25 x 12.25 hardcover book with 146 pages, with 232 black and white photos and floorplans. This book is the Bible of postwar american interior design: beautiful photography by the best in the field: Julius Shulman and Heidrich Blessing, etc.

“With this book, Interiors, a monthly periodical published for professionals in all branches of interior design, answers the demand for a popular and comprehensive book on contemporary interiors. The book's editor, architect and designer George Nelson, ties its 232 illustrations together with an introduction and running commentary that points out the problems faced by each of the 81 designers involved, as well as their solutions. This survey of the best of today's living spaces is one that graphically presents the contemporary feeling in the elements of space, volume, texture, light, color, and form.” — from the dust jacket. (not included)

This book was George Nelson's attempt to sell modern housing to America and it is a lavish production. Designed by the Office of George Nelson, the book itself is extremely well-designed and thoughtfully assembled. Drop-dead gorgeous photography, selected from the archives of Interiors magazine (who sponsored the publication of all four volumes in their Interiors Library Series). No other book dedicated to postwar American housing can hold a candle to this rare, exquisite volume. I am not exaggerating.
