Very Good +. Scarce original 1940 product catalog from General Fireproofing (GF), the leader in Industrial furniture in the mid 1900's. This GF foldout catalog includes details and illustrations of their railway and steamer furniture as well as hotel and restaurant seating. Their metal desks and office chairs are among the most recognizable of the mid-century modern (MCM) era. Includes several illustrations of the "goodform" products that debuted in 1932 and were reworked after 1939. These cloth chairs with metal and/or aluminum arms and legs are highly sought after by MCM collectors. Although a bit later, the "mode-maker" line of products from GF were designed by Raymond Loewy, one of the industrial design titans of the 20th century. The company was in business from 1902 to 1989 and truly defined the era in their business. OCLC locates "0" copies.
