Arranged chronologically, Design traces the evolution of design from its roots to the present day, from early chairs, pottery, and homewares to cars, graphic design, and product design. It introduces all the key designers, manufacturers, and objects, illustrating how and why different styles emerged and became popular. It also provides a fascinating insight into design movements, showing how each one began and explaining its philosophy and visual style, from the Arts and Crafts movement to mid-century modern and contemporary. Featuring expert analysis, stunning photography, and a huge range of objects both familiar and extraordinary, Design explains what makes a truly great design and reveals the hidden stories behind the everyday things all around us. With profiles of famous designers and manufacturers, such as William Morris, the Bauhaus, Alvar Aalto, Frank Lloyd Wright, and Vitra, and stunning images of iconic buildings and interiors, it provides a glorious and comprehensive view of classic design across the last two centuries. Review: Awesome book! - Best book I have ever seen on the design of an extraordinarily wide range of works from 1850 to the present! Extraordinary photos, wonderful biographies of key designers, clear and intelligent grouping of works into eras and styles. Awesome diversity, including almost every aspect of items shaping our lives: furniture, lights, appliances, tableware, transportation, decorative pottery, cameras, clocks, fabrics, wallpaper, posters, typewriters, jewelry, radios, coffee/tea kettles, and on and on seemingly endlessly. All are clearly documented by time and designer, with a wonderful separate A to Z compendium of designer biographies at the very end of the book. If you like design of everyday objects, you will love this book. Review: Beautiful illustrations and composition - This is truly a beautiful visual history of design. The book touches on all phases of design with brief informative narratives for each genre and high-quality photographs. I purchased this as a graduation gift for a student of design, but it's so interesting, I will buy a copy for our household too. Highly recommend! ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #3,875,203 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 out of 5 stars 224 Reviews | ## Images ![Design - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61gZQ-Dog4L.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Awesome book! *by D***A on June 11, 2016* Best book I have ever seen on the design of an extraordinarily wide range of works from 1850 to the present!
