Authors Leyla Daybelge and Magnus Englund tell the story of Bauhaus professors Walter Gropius, Marcel Breuer and László Moholy-Nagy at the Isokon building in Hampstead. The three men fled Nazi Germany in the mid-1930s and found refuge at The Lawn Road Flats, or Isokon building (as it came to be known) – England's first modernist apartment building built in 1934. The trio were employed by Jack and Molly Pritchard, who commissioned the building, at the Isokon design company to progress the vision with furniture design, architecture and graphic design. £25, pavilionbooks.com
