Russel Wright (1904-76) was arguably the most influential U.S. designer of the early twentieth century. A visionary artist who pioneered the fusion of modern design and domestic practicality in his household wares, Wright brought his innovative design to the general U.S. public and changed the face of the American household. Russel Wright: Good Design Is for Everyone focuses on the most influential and enduring aspects of Wrights art, which called for more informal and easier living through his houseware design and ecologically sensitive landscape design. Good Design collects many of Wrights essays and extensive illustrations, offering significant insight into Wrights philosophies about domestic design and its relationship to the modern American home. This book is both a thorough introduction to Russel Wrights work and a superb study of his creative process.
