Seventy two step by step projects for modern do it yourself home and office design, by world renowned designer Todd Oldham. Love the look of mid-century, modern, retro design, but don't feel like dropping two weeks' pay on an Eames chair? Todd Oldham shares his passion for mid-century modern homes with over 72 do it yourself projects for anyone who loves crafts and longs to add character to every corner of their home. Each project is charted through step by step photos and instructions until the fabulously mod end. Other projects include home computer face lifts, Xerox wallpaper, aluminium lighting fixtures, and cosy shoe-storage systems.
In additional to Todd's brilliantly engineered projects, the book comes complete with a tutorial on modern home design in the form of sidebars and short essays throughout everything from that now famous Eames chair to the case study houses of the 1950s. "Handmade Modern" promises to revolutionise the way the reader looks at his or her own home and capacity to beautify a space. Chic, accessible, and fun, this is the achievable new look of modern home design.
