What makes a classic piece of furniture? Which living design is timelessly popular and always contemporary - and why?

Masters & their Pieces - best of furniture design presents the milestones of style of furnishings and their creators: the bold design of the 1920s, the upswing of the economic miracle in the 1950s, the colourful trendy creations from the 1970s, or the restrained designs of the new classics of today and beyond.

The most important European furniture designers of the 20th and 21st centuries and their most significant works are prominently displayed.
