The International Design Yearbook

Maggiori informazioni sul libro

International Design Yearbook 12 presents an international collection of the five major areas of domestic design -- furniture, lighting, tableware, textiles, and products -- created over the past year by both well-known designers and new talent. This year's selection emphasizes the need to reinvent design -- to reduce the design problem to a solution rather than a form. The challenges of new technology, recycling, and designing for the mass media are some of the themes highlighted by this year's designs. In addition to focusing on artists with an individual vision, those interested in recycling and reuse, and technologists, the selection highlights designs that have minimal forms and decoration, often meant for the mass market. Their anonymous character makes them appropriate for a wide variety of uses to meet the needs of society today. This volume includes full technical data for each object, designers' biographies, and an update of design acquisitions at major international museums.
