Reviews
Jeffrey Ochsner has written a book that will be invaluable to furniture historians, furniture makers, architects, and design educators. The book's great strength is its telling of a local, personal story within a broader context of architectural pedagogy and philosophy. Edward Cooke, author of Making Furniture in Pre-Industrial America
With 190 color photographs of student works, this charming book is a treat for the eyes. A fascinating peek into modern furniture design. Library Journal Ochsner's book on just one of the studios is enough to give interested future architects the gist. But it's also written for today's architects, maybe nostalgic for architecture school, and for academics, maybe looking to start up a furniture studio at their own school. -- Lindsey M. Roberts Architect Magazine [R]efreshing... Ochsner's engrossing and lavishly illustrated book... reminds us of the importance of craft in architecture...[A]n important monograph... Ochsner's book is certainly well crafted. -- Jeremy White Pacific Northwest Quarterly
