Built-In Furniture: A Gallery of Design Ideas (Idea Book)
WithBuilt-In FurnitureJim Tolpin has put together an idea book, a lushly illustrated look at built-in furniture through history and in modern homes, from Shaker attic storage systems to Frank Lloyd Wright room designs to contemporary dream houses. A blending of furniture and architecture, built-ins are known for saving space, but Tolpin takes us to a new level of art and inventive design; for example, he depicts a cleverly designed, secure document-storage area that is completely hidden behind a pivoting bookcase. Even a casual page-through reveals hundreds of useful, creative ideas, such as a revolving entertainment center, hidden storage rooms, and elegant but sturdy built-in shelves.Built-In Furniturewill have you walking from room to room, fantasizing about built-in projects that you could construct yourself.--This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
