1000 Design Classics: a great compendium of the most innovative, iconic and influential products ever designed – from 1663 to today.
Evolving from the highly acclaimed and groundbreaking three-volume Phaidon Design Classics, this book presents 1,000 of the world's greatest objects in one large-format volume - from everyday objects by anonymous creators to celebrated pieces by Charles and Ray Eames, Charlotte Perriand, Dieter Rams, Richard Sapper, Hans J. Wegner and Florence Knoll.
Carefully revised to bring every detail up to date, and with 100 new objects highlighting designers from a wide range of backgrounds (including a greater number of female designers) and products from the last 15 years, this collection of the world's best product design is more comprehensive, compelling and current than ever before.
The book places famous names alongside new stars of modern design, including Le Corbusier, Alvar and Aino Aalto, Isamu Noguchi, Ronan and Erwan Bouroullec, Lani Adeoye, Faye Toogood and Lindsey Adelman. Each entry is accompanied by beautiful images and a detailed description that provides a comprehensive insight into the product, its history and its maker.
