The Contemporary Context. 330 $aDuring the Progressive Era, a time when the field of design was dominated almost entirely by men, a largely forgotten activist and teacher named Louise Brigham became a pioneer of sustainable furniture design. With her ingenious system for building inexpensive but sturdy ?box furniture? out of recycled materials, she aimed to bring good design to the urban working class. As Antoinette LaFarge shows, Brigham forged a singular career for herself that embraced working in the American and European settlement movements, publishing a book of box furniture designs, running carpentry workshops in New York, and founding a company that offered some of the earliest ready-to-assemble furniture in the United States. Her work was a resounding critique of capitalism?s waste and an assertion of new values in design?values that stand at the heart of today?s open and green design movements. 410 0$aPalgrave pivot. 606 $aUnited States$xHistory 606 $aHistory, Modern 606 $aFeminism 606 $aFeminist theory 606 $aArchitecture$xHistory 606 $aUS History 606 $aModern History 606 $aFeminism and Feminist Theory 606 $aArchitectural History and Theory 615 0$aUnited States$xHistory. 615 0$aHistory, Modern. 615 0$aFeminism. 615 0$aFeminist theory. 615 0$aArchitecture$xHistory. 615 14$aUS History. 615 24$aModern History. 615 24$aFeminism and Feminist Theory. 615 24$aArchitectural History and Theory. 676 $a720.47 676 $a749.092 700 $aLaFarge$b Antoinette$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$01224424 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910484895003321 996 $aLouise Brigham and the Early History of Sustainable Furniture Design$92842043 997 $aUNINA
