Curated by Alexander von Vegesack, this publication is fascinating in how it has reproduced the 1930-31 collection of German and French designs offered by Thonet Stahlrohr-Möbel. That year's line featured work by Le Corbusier, Lily Reich, Marcel Breuer, Mies van der Rohe, Mart Stam, and Guyot. 84 loose cards, 62 show the furniture lines. An unusual feature of the time is that the final 8 cards demonstrate both assembly and repair instructions.
