Call for Papers:
Twentieth century Furniture Research Group

This year the Fifth Conference entitled "Furniture Design and
Manufacture, 1970-2000" takes place on November 16 2007 at the
Design Museum, London.

This year the conference themes will be based upon the following
subject areas,

    *   Furniture manufacturing
    *   Design and make
    *   Conservation
    *   Collections

We are particularly interested in those who worked in the period
1970-2000 who can provide perspective on furniture based activities
that are representative of this time. We are also interested in
those who have experience of conservation and/or curation of
furniture produced at this time (1970-2000). It is also an aim of
this conference to provide a collective forum for designers, makers,
curators and conservators where issues can be raised, articulated
and discussed through presentation with opportunity for
questions/discussion. Finally we are keen to present papers with an
international perspective to give a global representation to the
conference.
