1931 eröffneten der Designer Gerald Summers und seine Partnerin Marjorie Butcher in London ihr Geschäft Makers of Simple Furniture. Bis 1940 produzierte das Unternehmen »Möbel für das concrete age« (Gerald Summers), die die Vorstellung vom modernen Interieur in Großbritannien prägen sollten. Auf der Grundlage von Marjorie Butchers lebhaften Erinnerungen und einer Fülle von unveröffentlichtem Material – darunter Fotografien, persönliche Korrespondenz, Entwürfe und Werkstattunterlagen – zeichnet das Buch die bahnbrechenden Errungenschaften des Designbüros nach, zu dessen bekanntesten Produkten der Bent Plywood Armchair zählt.

Diese Publikation wird zum Teil durch die Unterstützung der Graham Foundation for Advanced Studies in the Fine Arts ermöglicht.

GERALD SUMMERS (1899–1967) ist einer der bedeutendsten Möbeldesigner des zwanzigsten Jahrhunderts. Er wurde in Alexandria, Ägypten, geboren und arbeitete als Ingenieur, bevor er seine Karriere als Designer begann. Im Jahr 1931 eröffnete er zusammen mit seiner Partnerin das Unternehmen Makers of Simple Furniture in London.



MARJORIE BUTCHER (1909–1996) und er produzierten Hunderte von Möbeln für das moderne Zuhause. Im Jahr 1940 beendeten die Kriegsereignisse das Unternehmen, woraufhin sie ihre Energie auf Gerald Summers Ltd. lenkten, einen Lieferanten von technischen Teilen.MARTHA DEESE ist eine ausgewiesene Expertin für Gerald Summers. Sie erwarb einen Masterabschluss in Kunstgeschichte am Cooper-Hewitt Museum/Parsons School of Design, New York, und arbeitete drei Jahrzehnte lang am Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York. Ihr bahnbrechender Artikel im Journal of Design History 1992 ist nach wie vor die wichtigste Quelle zu Summers und seiner Firma.

Perfect toy for an active dog!
Color: Large size (7.9")
My dog absolutely loves this ball with handles! It’s quickly become one of his favorite toys, and he gets excited every time we bring it out to play. The vibrant colors are a huge plus—they make it super easy to spot in the grass, which saves a lot of time during outdoor play sessions. The handles are great for interactive play too, especially for tugging and tossing. I’m really impressed with how well it’s holding up. Even with constant pulling, tugging, and rough use, it’s remained durable and hasn’t shown any signs of wearing out. Overall, I’m very happy with this purchase—and if my dog could write reviews, it would definitely get his paw stamp of approval! 🐾

Great idea poor construction
Color: Large size (7.9"), Color: Large size (7.9")
Great for a dog that likes tug and fetch but the seams are not strong so it ripped fast not from tug but my dogs teeth. I sewed it once since we loved playing with it but it didnt last. Other seams opened. The seams opened in the ball part not by the handles. Less seams and stronger ones would make it 5 star. Im trying a different brand.
