CLASSIC FORMS   Author  Stuart Dyas
  
This book offers a visual introduction to the evolution of round forms, from ancient history to the present day, providing in the process an enhanced understanding of design concepts and a multitude of ideas for the contemporary architect, designer and craftsperson.
Columns are traced from their origins in Egypt, Greece and Rome; pedestals and vases are shown from the classical period onwards; balusters from the Renaissance and subsequent periods are covered in depth. These elements together illustrate the way in which a wide range of decorative and functional objects such as candlesticks, lamps, finials, stair rails and table legs have developed.
Designs include all shapes and sizes, simple and complex: from architectural applications to furniture, household items and objets d’art. The repetitious clutter which mars some conventional designs has been removed, simplifying the outline and thus revealing the core elements.
