From the jacket: "Crafting a Modern World examines an echanting missing chapter in thee history of mid-century modernism: the story of husband and wife design team Antonin and Noémi Raymond. This is the first comprehensive book in English on the duo that creatively transformed design from 1917 - 1966. Best known for a series of finely detailed structures built in Japan during the 1930s, the Raymonds combined their European modern roots with the vernacular craft traditions they discovered while living in regions as diverse as Japan, India, and rural Pennsylvania."
