Less Is More (Difficult)

John Christakos
20 Years of Design at Blu Dot
Blu Dot is an American pioneer of democratic design - celebrated for clean, minimal, modern furniture that is American-made and affordable. Published to coincide with the brand's twentieth anniversary, this carefully produced book collects two decades' worth of ideas, inspiration, designs, and products that chronicle the evolution of one of the most iconic brands in contemporary American furniture. Illustrated with stunning photography that sets Blu Dot's best-known pieces in the context of contemporary American interiors, the book includes everything the brand has ever produced, from the very earliest designs for workmanlike benches to the ubiquitous and iconic Very Good Chair.
Supplemented by sketches, notes, advertising, and other inspirational materials drawn from the personal archives of Blu Dot's founders, John Christakos and Maurice Blanks, and including revealing interviews and written contributions from some of the biggest names in contemporary American design, this is a celebration not just of the pioneering work of one American company but of good modern interior design.
