Ce livre replace le design dans un mouvement historique qui englobe les événements politiques, le cinéma, les arts plastiques, la bande dessinée, l'exploration de l'espace. Les objets qi nos entourent s'éclairent alors d'un jour nouveau, et donnent le sentiment de participer à l'aventure technique du siècle. Entre l'arrivée des Jeeps américaines en 1944 et la floraison des images virtuelles des années 90, c'est une folie de créations tous azimuts, le grand jeu des couleurs, des matières et des formes nouelles qui sont ici racontés et illustrés.

Eleanor Herring's unique study of street furniture in post-war Britain considers how objects which are now familiar parts of our urban environment were designed to populate public spaces. Herring explores the design of lampposts, post boxes, parking meters, and signage in the context of a government backed by various bodies keen to propagate 'good' modern design, in a Britain whose towns and cities had been laid waste by bombing and the privations of war. She also considers the innate conservatism of local communities and councils, wary of a standardised street design imposed from above. She traces how the design of street furniture became the site of a fierce struggle which exposed deep-seated anxieties about class, taste and power. Herring's original research draws on archival material and on interviews with leading figures in urban design, including graphic designer Margaret Calvert and industrial designer Kenneth Grange.
