2012. First Edition. Hardcover. Rizzoli, 2012. Hardcover in pictorial dust jacket. First English language edition, third printing (first published in French in 2006). 400 pages extensively illustrated throughout in colour and b&w. Text in English.

BOOK CONDITION: Near Fine; a solid, tight, clean copy with a small bump to center of front spine edge; in a Near Fine dust jacket showing light fading to spine and joints and a small bump to front spine edge. Jean-Michel Frank was one of the pre-eminent designers of the 1930s and 40s. His designs graced some of the finest Parisian homes and his classically modern mix of understated luxury combined with exotic materials has meant his work is still widely collected. This monograph, now scarce in English, examines both his life and work as a furniture and interior designer, and remains the key work on Frank. Near fine / near fine. Item #11224
