Design: The Whole Story
From the 18th century to the present, Design: The Whole Story covers every aspect of design in one single, spectacularly designed volume. This chronologically organized compendium guides readers through the evolution of modern design, from its emergence in the 18th century to the present. Generously illustrated chapters trace the development of design: the classical revival, the "Art for All" movement, the Japanese influence and Art Nouveau. From there it explores topics such as how the industrial revolution changed the way we create and consume products; identity and conformity in the postwar world; brand loyalty and the counterculture; "Industrial Chic" and "Style Bibles"; the Digital Age and design with a conscience.
