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.

Good second-level pickleball paddles for a great price
Color: Black, Color: Black
I've been playing pickleball for a while now, though not ever well. I have progressed from wooden paddles and just trying things out to bundles of basic fiberglass paddles and balls to higher-end paddles that individually cost more than the "multi-paddle plus balls" bundles. I have kids and kids-in-law and grandkids, and not everyone has their own paddles. Thus, I purchased this set to get a couple more paddles. This Amazon Basics set of 2 paddles, four balls, and a carrying case is a starter set, maybe one step up from the basic wooden paddles that I started with. The paddles are nice, light-weight but sturdy, with a decent surface that should allow some level of control. The grips are nice, and there is some additional grip tape you can use to retape a handle that wears out. The balls are standard balls, and should get you started. The case is similar to cases I've purchased before with other sets. Unfortunately, the makers skimped on the zipper. It only has one (another case from a similar set had two zippers), and after just a few uses, the zipper completely fell off (see photo). This makes the case completely useless, and definitely drops my rating. But, given the price, the quality of the paddles, and the four balls, this is still a great starter set, even without a cheap carrying case. I'm happy to have the extra balls and paddles.

Soooo cute & girly!
Color: Pastel Zigzag, Color: Pastel Zigzag
This cute coral and white pickleball paddle set is perfect for beginners or casual games. The paddles feel sturdy and well made, and the color combo is really fun and stylish. I also love that it comes with two different types of balls, so you’re ready to play right away. The compact carrying bag is a great bonus too — it keeps everything organized and is easy to bring to the court.
