Design of the 20th Century
£15.50£19.00 (-18%)
Poised at the start of the 21st century, we can see clearly that the previous century was marked by momentous changes in the field of design. Aesthetics entered into everyday life with often staggering results. Our homes and workplaces turned into veritable galleries of style and innovation.
From furniture to graphics, it’s all here―the work of artists who have shaped and re-created the modern world with a dizzying variety of materials. From the organic to the geometric, from Art Deco, through to Pop and High-Tech, this book contains all the great names―Harry Bertoia, De Stijl, Dieter Rams, Philippe Starck, Charles and Ray Eames, to name only a very few.
This essential book is a comprehensive journey through the shapes and colors, forms and functions of design history in the 20th century. An A–Z of designers and design schools, which builds into a complete picture of contemporary living. Lavishly illustrated, this is design in the fullest sense.

Disappointing.
Its a poor format, should have been larger.
My real complaint is the content. To be in the book its massively helps if you are in any way connected to Bauhaus/ Gropius/Ulm, Modern Movement etc. Too much: cutlery, chairs etc ie not enough day to day design/use items.
I would recommend: Mass Prouction, published by Phaidon. Larger format and much more down to earth.

Loved this book, it’s quite small, but thick and heavy with lots of info and pictures. It’s definitely improved my knowledge and helped me id a few items.

The perfect book to have a complete idea about all the most important names in design. I think it’s good for all the people that would like to know more about this field and for all the professionals.
