D.E.S.I.G.N.

Description

D.E.S.I.G.N. is a fascinating review of 70 of the most innovative household items from the past 150 years - from the classic to the most crazy. These are icons of design from the most eminent designers in the world, from the 'Le Corbusier' chair by Philippe Starck, to the 'Puddle Vase' by Aalto. Through light and witty descriptions, colorful anecdotes and bold illustrations, D.E.S.I.G.N. entertains, amazes and teaches us about the origins, aesthetics and form of objects that surround us.
