The Art and Furniture of Tommy Simpson
View through CrossRef
Tommy Simpson almost singlehandedly changed the direction of the Studio Furniture field.
Trained as an artist at the Cranbrook Academy of Art, Tommy exhibited at more than 250 museums and galleries over his prolific 60-year career. Despite the influence of his work and his prodigious output, there is no comprehensive biography or catalog of his work. In addition to furniture, he created paintings, sculptures, rug designs, domestic interiors, ceramics, jewelry, toys, even a stamp for the U.S. Post Office. Culminating all these formats in this full-color book with over 200 photographs of Simpson’s work, this volume will appeal to students, artists, furniture makers, collectors, and anyone intrigued by the humor, enchantment, and pure joy of his work.
