In the mid-twentieth century, Henry Dreyfuss, widely considered the father of industrial design, pioneered a user-centered approach to design that focuses on studying people's behaviors and attitudes as a key first step in developing successful products. In the intervening years, user-centered design has expanded to undertake the needs of differently abled users and global populations as well as the design of complex systems and services. Beautiful Users explores the changing relationship between designers and users and considers a range of design methodologies and practices, from user research to hacking, open source, and the maker culture.

Cooper Hewitt possesses one of the most diverse and comprehensive collections of design works in existence and is the only museum in the United States devoted exclusively to historic and contemporary design. Reopening in late 2014, the museum has undergone a transformative renovation. Its landmark home in the Andrew Carnegie Mansion offers an entirely new and interactive visitor experience resulting in 60 percent more gallery space. 0To mark the occasion, Cooper Hewitt is publishing an expansive book on its unparalleled collection, which consists of more than 200,000 objects from all over the world, spanning 30 centuries. Designed by Irma Boom, and a wonderful design object in itself at over 700 pages, the book expresses the museum's primary goal - to inspire people to see how design impacts their lives. The print edition is bundled with a digital version providing multidimensional ways to experience the collection. This user-centered approach is reinforced throughout the pages with 55 narratives and an extensive process glossary that discusses individual objects through a design lens. The book's emphasis is on people, purpose and making - the collective nature of design. 0Featuring more than 900 collection objects selected by the curatorial staff, Smithsonian Design Library and renowned designer Irma Boom, 'Making Design' is organized entirely by Boom's visual sequencing of images; her design and the curators' essays weave parallel narratives throughout the book.
