Overview
- A chronological portfolio of the 333 best designs that became available to homes across the globe thanks to the advent of mass production
- Demonstrates how by the middle of the 20th century production had increased worldwide and manufacturers became conscious of the concept of good design for all
- Charles and Ray Eames, Jean Prouvé, Arne Jacobsen and Alvar Aalto were commissioned to design furniture and appliances for the booming middle classes
- From Lego bricks and the Frisbee to door handles and sewing machines, chairs, tables, scooters and aeroplanes, these classics have a timeless quality and have barely changed since their invention
- Each object is accompanied by a detailed text with precise information about each product, each designer, each manufacturer and their history
- Over 1,000 illustrations fully document each product
