Review
"A cool new book ... Most of the cabinets are contemporary, and almost all of them are fun to look at. All the staff members here have been paging through these books since they arrived. I really like these books because you get to see a wide range of work, and it's usually beautifully presented."- Christopher Schwarz, editor of "Popular Woodworking Magazine""" "For another huge helping of inspiration, I totally enjoy perusing "500 Cabinets: A Showcase of Design & Craftsmanship." I remember spending hours looking through "Fine Woodworking'"s design books when I was younger, and today we have the "500 Series" of books - the series includes books on tables and chairs. While the pieces in this book are mainly contemporary, this is one of those books that I look to for ideas or simply to get my creative juices flowing." - Glen D. Huey, senior editor, "Popular Woodworking Magazine""" "If you are looking for ideas for a project, an excellent source is Lark Books' 500 Series. While this serie
Product Description

Simply the best
21 July 2010
Format:Paperback
From time to time a series of books creates a cult following, like those of Carlos Castenada, and this book 500 Cabinets will certainly excite those of us fortunate enough to be selected to show off their best new work. Its a juried selection, thats to say that not everyone that submitted work got in. Now that I like. Its not vanity press publishing, but genuine effort has been made to select only the best examples by a jury of our peers. As the eagerly awaited follow-on to 500 Chairs and 500 Tables, this tome shows us the best of designer makers not only in the USA but further afield - UK, Finland, Israel, Holland, Australia and Ireland, making this book much more interesting to dedicated followers of fine furniture fashions. It is a marker of time, showing the state of the art of designing and making mainly wooden furntire as we see it today in 2010. Now there's a thing - one can repeat this book title in, say, 10 years time. What will we see then? It will stimulate debate, it will thrill interior designers, it will provoke arguments, and make our parents very proud indeed.
