Living Modern -- Architectural modernism was revolutionary when it first appeared in the 1920s, and its innovation showed the world just what twentieth-century design could bring. Living Modern is a grand showcase of classic homes by such design luminaries as Mies van der Rohe, Charles and Ray Eames, Alvar Aalto, Richard Neutra, and many more. With over 200 detailed photographs of both entirely new work and remodeled originals, as well as numerous historical images, the true trademarks of modernism and of each designer are revealed. Ranging from materials and color to lighting and floor plans, Living Modern is an excellent primer to modern home style from its inception to the timeless features applied to the interiors of today.

Andrew Weaving is an expert on twentieth-century design and the proprietor of Century, a furniture shop in central London.

Lisa Freedman is a former editor of the London Evening Standard's ES Magazine. She is a widely published journalist specializing in lifestyle, architecture, and interiors.
