1931 eröffneten der Designer Gerald Summers und seine Partnerin Marjorie Butcher in London ihr Geschäft Makers of Simple Furniture. Bis 1940 produzierte das Unternehmen »Möbel für das concrete age« (Gerald Summers), die die Vorstellung vom modernen Interieur in Großbritannien prägen sollten. Auf der Grundlage von Marjorie Butchers lebhaften Erinnerungen und einer Fülle von unveröffentlichtem Material – darunter Fotografien, persönliche Korrespondenz, Entwürfe und Werkstattunterlagen – zeichnet das Buch die bahnbrechenden Errungenschaften des Designbüros nach, zu dessen bekanntesten Produkten der Bent Plywood Armchair zählt.

Diese Publikation wird zum Teil durch die Unterstützung der Graham Foundation for Advanced Studies in the Fine Arts ermöglicht.

GERALD SUMMERS (1899–1967) ist einer der bedeutendsten Möbeldesigner des zwanzigsten Jahrhunderts. Er wurde in Alexandria, Ägypten, geboren und arbeitete als Ingenieur, bevor er seine Karriere als Designer begann. Im Jahr 1931 eröffnete er zusammen mit seiner Partnerin das Unternehmen Makers of Simple Furniture in London.



MARJORIE BUTCHER (1909–1996) und er produzierten Hunderte von Möbeln für das moderne Zuhause. Im Jahr 1940 beendeten die Kriegsereignisse das Unternehmen, woraufhin sie ihre Energie auf Gerald Summers Ltd. lenkten, einen Lieferanten von technischen Teilen.MARTHA DEESE ist eine ausgewiesene Expertin für Gerald Summers. Sie erwarb einen Masterabschluss in Kunstgeschichte am Cooper-Hewitt Museum/Parsons School of Design, New York, und arbeitete drei Jahrzehnte lang am Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York. Ihr bahnbrechender Artikel im Journal of Design History 1992 ist nach wie vor die wichtigste Quelle zu Summers und seiner Firma.

Buttery soft, comfortable and the perfect height!!!
Size: 10.5, Color: Black Leather, Size: 10.5, Color: Black Leather
I ripped these out of the box as soon as they arrived lol 😂 I knew they were the black knee high boots that I wanted to have as a staple in my Fall closet. They did not disappoint! The stitching is impeccable, they are buttery soft from top to bottom, they are the signature San Edelman design, the heel is perfect – it’s not clunky it’s sleek, but it’s not too high so you can wear these with pants and dresses and skirts. They are VERY COMFORTABLE!!! They are pointy - but I sized up a half so they are not squeezing my foot at all. I can move my toes around and there’s enough space for socks if I need to wear them. I am in ❤️!!!

These boots were made for walking…
Size: 9, Color: Chocolate Brown
Stylish black suede boots with an adorable chunky heel. The fit is true to size. They look elegant yet dangerous! They were also, surprisingly, very comfortable!

My favorite boots ever!
I searched forever to find the perfect camel boots and could not be happier with this purchase. So happy, in fact, that I bought another pair in a different color! They’re really soft and the perfect heel height to still be comfortable. They are so classy and definitely a staple for me for work. Love!
