Author: Jeffrey Head Publish Year: 2012 Weight: 2.40 lb Dimensions: 11"Hx0.7Dx9"W Format: Hardcover Number of Pages: 144 Raised as a Quaker in Eastern Pennsylvania, designer and sc ulptor Paul Evans is known for his highly unusual and yet completely functional furniture designs. Evans produced more than a dozen lines of furniture and countless design variations during his thirty-year career as a mid- to late 20th century artist and designer. Regardless of his materials, whether metal, wood, or even cardboard, his work continues to defy easy categorization. It is modern and yet independent of recognizable influences. Other designers and manufacturers openly copied his work, though these copies lacked the presence Evans easily achieved.
