In 1754, a quiet revolution took place when Thomas Chippendale released a book of designs called 'The Gentleman and Cabinet Maker's Director'. It had 160 illustrations of all kinds of furniture, from a basic clothes press to a book cabinet elaborately inlaid and decorated. The designs followed the fashions of the time, everything from Gothic to Chinese, including a fanciful Rococo style he called Modern. Find more of Colin's iconic designs on the ABC Listen app or the Blueprint website.
