In The Language of Things Deyan Sudjic, Director of the Design
Museum, decodes the things around us: their hidden meanings, our
relationship with them, how they shape our lives and why we desire
them. Design is everywhere. It seduces, pleases and inspires us. It
makes us part with our money. It defines who we think we are. An
iPhone, an anglepoise lamp, a Picasso, a banknote, an Armani suit,
a William Morris textile, a Lucky Strike packet, a spacecraft -
every object tells a story. And understanding their stories offers
us a whole new way of seeing the world. 'Articulate and wonderfully
knowledgeable ... for anyone who takes an interest in the world
around us' Time Out 'A nightmare vision of a world drowning in
objects ... witty, well observed and wide-ranging' Guardian 'An
elegant, witty and free-ranging survey, from Thomas Chippendale's
ponderous 18th-century manor-house furnishings to Jonathan Ive's
sprightly Macintosh iBooks' Daily Telegraph 'Lively ... engaging'
Evening Standard 'Readable, sharp and worthwhile' Financial Times
Director of the Design Museum, Deyan Sudjic was born in London of
Yugoslav parents. He is a former architecture critic for the

Sudjic was Director of the Venice Architecture Biennale in 2002 and
is author of The Edifice Complex, the much-praised 100-Miles City,
the best-selling Architecture Pack, The Language of Things and
monographs on John Pawson, Ron Arad and Richard Rogers.
