Kem Weber, Designer and Architect

A very good book about an interesting man and designer. I've always been curios about Kem Weber and bought this as I realized it was the only full book on him.His life was as interesting as some of his famous designs like the Airline Chair for the Disney Studios (As an architect, he also designed the studio itself).The circumstances around his start in America are fascinating-he was essentially stranded here as a German at the start of World War I and had to make a living or starve in a foreign country. A few years later here are the problems of an industrial designer and architect trying to survive the depression, then the onset of WWII. Fame and riches always seemed to elude him in the midst of these world-changing events, but he not only survived and raised a family, he became a man who we still know of today.The book itself is beautiful -very well printed and designed. It's well recommended.
