Description
What is design? And how does beautiful work? Whether it's a chair, a car, a radio or an advertising poster - there are objects that we consider to be timelessly beautiful because function, form, proportions and colors interact ideally in them. This visual encyclopedia brings them together and explains them. Organized chronologically, the book offers an overview of the eras and developments of product, everyday, and graphic design, and features design classics from Tiffany to Apple.
A unique visual journey through design history
The lavishly designed encyclopedia gives interested readers an overview of design eras in addition to an insight into the origins of our understanding of design. Tools and elements of design are shown as well as important influences and milestones. Special pages show particularly noteworthy objects in large format and with many details.
