From inside the dust jacket :
The twentieth century has undoubtedly been the century of design. It influences and permeates every part of our existence from the packaging of our food to the magazines we read. The first book to be published in association with the prestigious Design Museum, the Design Museum Book of 20th Century Design presents in one volume the most important and influential pieces of design produced in the modern age. This definitive survey features the century-defining designs of such pioneers as Mies van der Rohe, Rem Koolhaas, Gio Ponti, Eileen Gray, Christian Dior, Vivienne Westwood, Saul Bass, Neville Brody, Frank Lloyd Wright, and many more.
This landmark survey of modern design presents the most desirable objects of the modern age: from the Royalton Hotel to Rietveld, from the Ducati motorcycle to the Concorde, from 1960's film posters to Tupperware, the best of twentieth century design is gathered in this stunningly illustrated book. In thirteen detailed sections--covering a wide range of subjects, from architecture to packaging, fashion to furniture, type to houseware--Catherine McDermott presents over 360 examples of the best, most iconic, and most enduring examples of modern design, while providing historical context for the pieces, celebrating artistic diversity, examining their place in our cultural heritage, and exploring the very essence of great and enduring design.
No other book takes such a sweeping and comprehensive look at what constitute the essential items of twentieth century design, buying making this a must for students, designers in all fields, and for anyone interested in modern design.
