The World of Biedermeier
Linda Chase,Karl Kemp,Lois Lammerhuber
From the mid 19th century to the present day the influence of Biedermeier's work has been unsurpassed. The furniture and other decorative accessories of this master designer are catalogued and explored in detail. In extraordinary photographs visit enchanting castles, royal residences, a Roman-inspired bathhouse, museum attics, and storage annexes in Vienna, Berlin, and elsewhere. Lammerhuber was the first photographer granted free access to the amazing holdings of the Hofmobiliendepot, the Imperial Furniture Collection in Vienna. Included are the treasures of the Hofburg Silberkammer museum, plus features on the work of the great Biedermeier designers Joseph Danhauser and Karl Friedrich Schinkel. A chapter on current uses of Biedermeier illustrates the timeless quality of this style, from full traditional settings to the way that Biedermeier furniture looks fresh and alive in contemporary settings. A beautiful book.
