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.

Trendy And Well Made Purse!
This is a take on a very popular style, and fairly well done. As you can see photographed here, this is a reasonably large-sized purse which you could use to and from the office, or almost as a day bag. The clasping mechanism on the top is cute, it ensures everything is contained and naturally folds the top over to give you a little bit more room under the arm. The metal accents and zippers are well done. The material feels nice although it does have a slight off gassing initially so you might want to air it out the first day. Otherwise reasonable construction and quality give this an easy five stars.

Stylish, Spacious, and Perfectly Chic!
The GEMIU Women’s Large Logo-Print Hobo Shoulder Bag is absolutely amazing! The design is trendy and fashionable, making it a standout accessory for any outfit. It’s surprisingly spacious, easily holding all my essentials without feeling bulky. The shoulder strap is comfortable, and the bag feels well-made and durable for daily use. I also love the quality of the materials—they look high-end and are built to last. This bag perfectly combines style and practicality, and I’ve already received so many compliments on it. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a chic, versatile handbag!

Cute and roomy
This is a roomy and well made purse. It's a modern and chic style as well. The print is well made and the materials are good. It isn't really stiff but does have structure. The straps are stitched nicely and made of a medium brown leather like material. It's a really cute bag that is decently made so it's a great price for the value.

I want to be the only one who has this, so don’t buy it!
Color: Coffee
I got it in coffee brown and it is gorgeous. It feels like soft, supple, rich leather. The size and sturdiness are perfect, especially if you have to keep quite a few things organized over the course of a long day. Having a rich burgundy interior color is just one of the thoughtful touches with this design. That makes it easier to find things! The zippers and fasteners are high quality. The bag oozes a richness that’s really impressive. Chic, fabulous, well-made, and very useful. Just the right size and just the right number of compartments. Astonishing value. Everything. Love.
