Samenvatting

In 1893, as design progressed towards the 20th century, a specialist publication the ""Studio Magazine"" was founded focusing on innovative fine and decorative art.

Rising incomes and post-war rebuilding on both sides of the Atlantic led to a massive housing boom in both the suburbs and inner cities, and these abodes were furnished and decorated in the new way. While European design was extraordinarily inventive, American design was looking to an idealised vision of the future -- between them a modern idiom was developed that can be seen vividly on the pages of ""Decorative Art,"" from such famous innovators as Charles and Ray Eames, George Nelson, Hans Wegner and Gio Ponti.
