Maggiori informazioni sul libro
Fantastic Plastic provides a fascinating look at how designs using plastics can be considered works of art, as well as objects of our everyday lives. Within Fantastic Plastic the material is explored, from the high end of furniture and product design, to the throwaway, disposable world of condoms and plastic bags. Fantastic Plastic shows how product design has developed and considers plastics' usability, technology and appearance. From the trademarked names of Spandex, Teflon, Nylon, Rayon, Formica and Tupperware, this book follows plastic through its iconic incarnations and reflects on how their function and reputation have changed over their lifetime.
