Synopses & Reviews
Although objects such as the Apple I-Mac or Philippe Starck's lemon squeezer are instantly recognizable as design icons, the ingenuity of much modern design is often overlooked -- think of the humble egg carton or ballpoint pen. Design Museum: Little Book of Design Classics selects over one hundred classics of design from fashion, architecture, lighting, interiors, home-ware, transportation, advertising and communications that have become part of the landscape of modern life. Each vibrant picture is accompanied by a short explanatory caption -- an essential introduction to the breadth and scope of modern invention and design.
