Kem Weber

Mid-Century Furniture Designs for the Disney Studios

About this book

This book is a comprehensive overview of the Kem Weber designed Disney animation furniture that takes the reader on a journey from concept sketches and photos to interviews with legendary artists. Kem Weber, a well-known mid-century architect, influenced California style during the mid-twentieth century with buildings architecture, interior designs and furniture, including his famed Air Line chair, which is part of many museum furniture collections. As chief designer for the Walt Disney Studios in Burbank in 1939, Weber also designed the specialized animation furniture that went into the then new studio complex. The Disney animation furniture, which has been lauded in recent years, was designed for specific animation disciplines and was part of Walt Disney's desire to create an efficient utopian campus for animated film production. The book celebrates and details the form and function of this unique mid-century furniture and the impact it had on the Disney animation process over the decades.
