From the second industrial revolution to the start of the digital
revolution, industrial design has played a major role in shaping
society and the everyday objects used for living, working, and
traveling. As factories transitioned from manufacturing machines
for war to mass-produced goods, industrial design evolved to meet
the needs of a quickly growing consumer economy. 100 Designs for a
Modern World is a curated overview of the most influential pieces
of modern industrial design from 1900 to the present day. George R.
Kravis II has collected some of the most innovative and memorable
products-including, for example, the Silver Streak glass iron-that
contributed to this radical transformation of global culture. This
book presents one hundred exceptionally designed objects: chairs,
radios, irons, electric clocks, ceramic tableware, textiles,
posters, and other graphic designs. The chronological organization
generates a history of industrial design since the turn of the
twentieth century. With an introduction by design historian Penny
Sparke, this book is an authoritative reference on industrial
design in the twentieth and early-twentyfirst centuries.
Meticulously selected and beautifully photographed, this elegant
book is both an informative guide and a source of inspiration for
collectors and enthusiasts of modern industrial design.
