Object Lessons is a series of short, beautifully designed books
about the hidden lives of ordinary things. The shipping container
is all around: whizzing by on the highway, trundling past on rails,
unloading behind a big box store even as you shop there, clanking
on the docks just out of sight.... 90% of the goods and materials
that move around the globe do so in shipping containers. It is an
absolutely ubiquitous object, even if most of us have no direct
contact with it. But what is this thing? Where has it been, and
where is it going? Craig Martin's book illuminates the "development
of containerization"-including design history, standardization,
aesthetics, and a surprising speculative discussion of the futurity
of shipping containers. Object Lessons is published in partnership
with an essay series in The Atlantic.
