Rockers and Tables and Chairs, Oh My!

The Furniture of Sam Maloof gives new meaning to a "coffee table" book!

Sam Maloof (1916–) is a consummate furniture designer and maker, recognized worldwide as a craftsperson's craftsman.

This book examines Maloof's lifetime of production. His furniture is documented in more than two hundred illustrations, more than ninety in color, from his earliest efforts when furnishing his first home using salvaged wood and hand-me-down tools to the recognized masterworks he produces today.

Visit The Furniture of Sam Maloof exhibition at the Renwick Gallery through January 20, 2002 and view our online exhibition. If you cannot buy a piece of Maloof's celebrated sculptural furniture, then consider buying a catalogue online. Your coffee table will thank you!
