Summary: Before there was Martha Stewart. there was Russel Wright (1904-1976) . the great mid-century modern American designer who pioneered the concept of 'easier living' for the middle class. a uniquely American lifestyle that was gracious but contemporary and informal. Yet despite Wright's enormous influence. there has been no major survey of his work until now. This handsome volume-which accompanies an exhibition at Cooper-Hewitt. National Design Museum in New York City-showcases more than 125 of Wright's best designs for inexpensive. mass-produced dinnerware. textiles. and furniture. by Donald Albrecht. Robert Schonfeld.
