Mid Century Furniture Designs

[Rotorhead]

Hi, I am looking for any book or material that shows Mid Century furniture designs. The only books that I have found just show a general overview and I am looking for something that shows dimensions and cut lists. I appreciate any help that I can get. Sincerely, William

any particular part of the world?

If you mean USA and 19th century you could start with the amazing Wallace Nutting, though you may have to work out dimensions and design details. You may have to do your own cut lists too.

Thomas Moser did a Shaker book with a lot of detail.

What is it you want to do exactly?

I had assumed middle of 20th century Charles and Ray Eames , Alvar Aalto, Wegner etc. I dont know of any books detailing construction etc. Quite a lot of designs are still in production http://www.vitra.com/en-gb/home/range/

Hello, I should have been more specific. I am looking for works from Eames, and Nelson. I especially like the 1950'S and 1960's type of furniture. A lot of the pieces are solid walnut and veneer with some having laminate. The few books that I have found so far only give very vague dimensions if any at all. I have interpreted some in the past that I have built but I figured it would be worth a try to find more information. Thanks, William
