From advertising to appliances and furniture to automobiles, nothing in today's world escapes the influence of design, a pervading force that improves the quality of daily life, whether we are aware of it or not. Defining a field as multifaceted as design is no easy task. This constantly evolving discipline produces countless objects that embody a combination of innovation, functionality, and beauty. The sleek, high-tech exterior of the iPod earmarks it os an obvious product of design, but so do the ergonomic curves of the humble Schick razor. From the growth of brands like Ikea and McDonald's to the more subtle design features in everyday abjects like Tupperware, the Bic pen, and the desk chair, Élisabeth Couturier gives us the keys to understand and appreciate the implications of design on a daily basis.

内容简介

This comprehensive work demystifies the concepts behind contemporary design, fascinating readers with its accessible text and striking photographs, and covers everything from the iPod to the humble razor. This irresistible guide breaks down the seemingly complex field of contemporary design into nine highly readable and engaging chapters that cover the styles, products, and personalities that have influenced and defined the design trends of today. Starting with the basics in "What is design?" and defining the leading trends of each decade since the 1920s, introducing thirty influential designers and their signature innovations, identifying different styles so that readers can explore their personal affinities, and including a glossary of design-related terms and jargon, this handbook imparts the essential information necessary to develop a well-rounded understanding of contemporary design. In an engaging and highly-readable journalistic style, the author demonstrates how thoroughly design pervades the world around us and improves the quality of daily life, from the growth of brands and logos such as Campbell’s Soup and McDonald’s to the more subtle design features in everyday objects such as Tupperware, the Bic™ pen, and the desk chair. The glossy, colorful format with lustrous photos that capture the glamour, boldness, and humor prevalent in design, renders this work a must-have guide to design.
