Drawing from more than sixty years of personal and professional archives, award-winning and internationally renowned furniture designer Vladimir Kagan writes an autobiography that embodies the history of modern design in the twentieth century. Comfort, practicality, and an often-idiosyncratic modernist sensibility are the hallmarks of his enduring career, which is also noted for organic, modular, and always stylish pieces that have in the last decade experienced a revival, influencing a new generation of furniture and product designers. This is the first complete compendium of Kagan's life and work, and includes dozens of never-before-published photographs and sketches.
