An interview with the author of Kem Weber: Mid-Century Furniture Designs for the Disney Studios , and his views on this unique specialty furniture that was the foundation for the creation of many of the Disney animated classics. WoodworkersJournal.com ""Walt Disney's studio lot in Burbank was an animator's utopia, thanks in large part to the designs of Kem Weber. His influence could be felt from the architecture of the buildings to the custom furniture created for the various animation disciplines. Disney fans have no doubt seen it before through behind-the-scenes photos or Disney Archives exhibits, but few have touched it or sat in it. But you'll feel like you have when you read Dave Bossert's newest book, a dream project called Kem Weber: Mid-Century Designs for the Disney Studios .""
