The Elegant Triangle

by John Marcoux, Alice Marcoux (Editor)

This is a book of new ideas in furniture design. THE ELEGANT TRIANGLE has been carefully conceived and crafted in every respect. For those who care about furniture and the art of its construction, this book is an absolute essential. Mysteriously, the triangle has rarely been seen in wooden furniture since the time of the ancient Egyptians. Today, with most furniture stuck in an immobile tradition of decorative excess and structurally unsound forms, the triangle is needed more than ever. Not only is THE ELEGANT TRIANGLE a beautiful overview of the furniture of John Marcoux and the other designers of this unappreciated art, it is also an unerring examination of the deep flaws within the furniture tradition and the solutions that await them.
