Ruth Adler Schnee's exuberant textiles and interiors shine in 'Modern Designs for Living'

For anyone sheltering in place, or even looking for decorating ideas after this period of fear and isolation has come and gone, Ruth Adler Schnee: Modern Designs for Living is a shot of pure inspiration. A beautifully produced book with luxe papers, gorgeous printing throughout and a lovely cloth cover printed with Adler Schnee's 1948 textile design, "Busy Bye Ways Echo," this is the first monograph ever published on the pioneering midcentury designer who is still actively working at age 96. Featured photograph is of Adler, before she became Adler Schnee, working on designs for "Silts and Slats" (right) and "Pits and Pods" (left) in 1947. Other telling textiles are named "Bugs in Booby Traps," "Slinky Shadows," "Mad Plaid," "Pipe Dreams" and "Birds Afar." We cannot recommend this exuberant, scholarly and enlightening book enough.
