500 Tables LARK BOOKS
500 Tables: Inspiring Interpretations of Function and Style is the latest in Lark Book's visually dynamic series that also includes 500 Wood Bowls, 400 Wood Boxes and 500 Chairs. About 2000 entries were considered for 500 Tables, and final choices for inclusion were made by juror Andrew Glasgow, executive director of the American Craft Council and former executive director of The Furniture Society. As these pieces from 500 Tables indicate, the books in this series offer samples of outstanding work in traditional, conceptual, and practical modern furniture design. An upcoming title, 500 Cabinets, is scheduled for release in the fall of 2010. A call for entries will be posted online: Visit www.larkbooks.com for more information.
