Once in awhile I come across a book which delights and informs in
equal measure. This is one such book that offers an inspiring
archive of designs appealing to those with an appreciation of
pattern and colour, as well as those with an interest in
typography, language and the social and cultural history of
America.
*Selvedge*
Mergentime's designs, whimsical and self-aware, are the book's main
draw, and they speak for themselves.
*Food52*
A treat for what it brings to light of the pre-war modern
home-style sensibility that blends modernist abstraction with
representational floral motifs—and an unusual typographic
sensibility. You may still find it hard to remember the name but
the work is unforgettable.
*Print Mag*
A comprehensive volume that presents the personal voice...[and]
comes to illuminate the career of this designer who came to shape a
new sensibility of the American home.
*Daniella on Design*
