Authors: Iain Jackson, Simon Pepper, and Peter Richmond 

Herbert James Rowse (1887–1963) was an extraordinary architect who shaped the city of Liverpool with his array of exquisite buildings, plans, and infrastructure. Practicing in an eclectic manner that was influenced by American Beaux Arts and later using simpler geometries of monumental bare brick, his large body of work reveals a modernity that was concerned with luxurious materials, restrained but contemporary decoration and sculpture, and bold forms often with a sense of theatre and performance. His work has endured passing trends and fashions, retaining a seductive appeal and resonance with visitors and occupants alike, despite its often monumental massing and extraordinary scale.

This book aims to discern not only the architectural merits and advances of his work, but also their wider significance. Through Rowse’s work we gain a glimpse into some of the broader agendas of the time and place, not least through the corporate and banking commissions that accompanied the large docks and shipping firms in Liverpool, where Rowse produced some of his most distinctive work. In addition to these commercial ventures Rowse contributed to the post-war housing debates through his proposals that looked to rows of cottages set around village greens, rather than high-rise living.

Comfortable chair
Color: Black, Color: Black
I wanted an all black out chair to match my cabinets and this chair fits my needs. It was easy to install took me about 20mins or so. Quality is great, the base is made out of metal hence very solid, it came with the polyurethane wheels, rolling on the hardwood floor is very smooth. Seat and arm rest have thick foam paddings makes it very comfortable to seat on and lean back. Adjustable recline tension and height adjustment. Great chair.

GOOD
Color: Black
The chair was more comfortable than I expected for the price. The back support feels good and the seat does not feel hard after working for several hours. I liked that the wheels roll smoothly and the assembly was pretty simple. The design also makes the office look more modern. So far it feels stable and durable.

Sitting on a very comfortable leather chair
Color: Black, Color: Black
I have been using this chair for a few days. First of all, the installation is very simple and convenient. You can learn it just by looking at the drawings. It takes about 20 minutes to install. The chair is very comfortable to sit on. Its support and comfort are beyond expectations. It can relieve the fatigue of the waist and you won't feel very tired when sitting. The leather material is also good. It can be rotated, moved up and down, and can be moved. The armrests can also be moved up and down. This price is worth it. Overall, I'm very satisfied and comfortable.
