Geneva, IL: Geneva Kitchens, between 1950 and 1959?.

This trade catalog was published by Geneva Kitchens of Geneva, Illinois. It features designs and color options for the all-steel kitchens of the 1950s. Geneva Kitchens, like many post WWII companies, promoted the all-metal kitchen as efficient, safe, easy to maintain, and sanitary while being fashionably colorful, streamlined, and modern. This beautifully designed catalog also documents the style and taste of the domestic interior of the 1950s, and provides a direct window into the Illinoisan home-life and décor of the mid-20th century. 

Condition and Treatment: 

This piece is a mid-20th century catalog. The binding is stapled and the staples are in the early stages of oxidation. Conservators will remove the staples and re-sew the catalog. A custom enclosure will be created to house this fragile item.
