This book selects twenty-four furniture pieces – previously presented in the DIY book published in 1953 by a group of Japanese industrial designers – and perfectly reproduces them. The pieces still emanate their superb, functional, beauty. The book is edited in such a way as to fulfill the needs of the modern lifestyle. It even introduces storage furniture that can be built with easy to work plywood and cedar boards. Each project begins with a “Description of Project Overview and Explanation of Crucial Building Points.” Then a detailed descriptive section – “Dimension Descriptions and Finished Product Measurements” – follows.
