Detailed Description
The Anarchist's Design Book - Expanded Edition
The Anarchist's Design Book is a worthy sequel to Christopher Schwarz' 2011 best seller, The Anarchist's Tool Chest.
It is the result of four years of difficult work researching early furniture forms, building them, redesigning them and then building them again (and again).
Chris notes that most of the classic American furniture that we celebrate today as the pinnacle
of design represented in fact a tiny proportion of the furniture forms historically built, bought and sold
by ordinary Americans and their ancestors.
The Anarchist's Design Book explores 18 classic furniture forms that run the gamut from
beds, dining tables, chairs, chests, desks and shelving. These forms use two main construction
techniques -- staked and boarded. They are simple for the beginner, do not require a lot of tools,
and can be used to produce objects that have endured centuries of hard use.
However this isn’t really a book of plans. The Anarchist’s Design Book shows you the
overarching patterns behind these 18 pieces. It gives you the road map for designing your
own pieces (which is what we did before we had plans.)
The Anarchist’s Design Book is 634 pages that are sewn for long-term durability. The
book is 8" x 10", casebound and sheathed in thick hardback boards that are covered in
cotton cloth. Like all Lost Art Press
books, The Anarchist’s Design Book is produced and printed entirely in the United States.
