GOOD EYE is more than just a book - it is a practical guide for anyone who wants to design furniture with a keen sense of form, harmony, and craftsmanship. Authors Jim Tolpin and George Walker introduce readers to the world of classical proportioning systems and demonstrate how these timeless methods continue to inspire enduring designs. Rooted in the centuries-old tradition of artisan geometry, the book clearly explains how to use simple geometric tools - without complex mathematics - to create balanced and functional furniture pieces. Numerous illustrations and practical examples make the concepts easy to grasp and apply.
