With expert analysis, great photography, and a huge selection of
familiar and unusual objects, this book explains what truly makes a
design great and reveals the hidden stories behind the everyday
things that surround us. The author, a writer and journalist
specialising in design, has chosen 101 objects that have had a
major influence on the world of design history, delving into the
makers, the designers, and developments in production and style
that made these pieces into design classics. The text incorporates
design sketches, portraits of many well-known and some unknown
designers, as well as numerous exciting anecdotes from the sewing
box of design history. The selection of designers includes, but is
not limited to, legends such as Charles & Ray Eames, Verner
Panton, Alexander Girard and other protagonists of classical
modernism. Also here are post-war designers such as Finn Juhl,
Gilbert Rohde, Pierre Paulin, and Gae Aulenti, and postmodern and
contemporary designers such as Philippe Starck, Marcel Wanders, and
Konstantin Grcic. This book provides an in-depth and informative
overview of 20th-century design - and a glimpse of the first true
classic objects of the 21st century.
