Abstract

This reference book provides a review of domestic design around the world, featuring furniture, lighting, tableware, textiles and products created in the last 18 months. This year's selection was made by the Czechoslovakian architect and designer Borek Sipek, whose original furniture and glassware have received international acclaim. The book spans designers such as Phillipe Starck, Etorre Sottsass and Achille Castiglioni and that of lesser known designers and students. Commentaries by Rick Poyner, contributing editor to "Blueprint" magazine and editor of the graphics magazine "Eye", highlight new tendencies and focus on individual designers, providing a background to their latest work. Full technical data is given for each design and a reference section includes biographies of the designers, details of suppliers, a directory of design publications and an update of acquisitions by the contemporary design collections of major museums worldwide.

Abstract

The architect and designer Ron Arad has worked with the graphic designer Neville Brody to create this unusual overview of design. Arad's own individual approach to design is reflected in this selection which focuses on technological innovation and on fresh ways of perceiving and creating objects, from computer-generated repeat patterns for textiles to jewel-like hand-held remote controls. In a varied compilation, such established names as Ettore Sottsass, Nanna Ditzel, Kenneth Grange and Gaetano Pesce are included with younger talent. The move towards environmentalism and the emergence of a new conservativeness in design continue to be important themes. This year also sees designers and manufacturers moving towards a new, more human design language, particularly in the fields of products. Illustrations are accompanied by technical data, and a reference section includes biographies of the designers featured, and a comprehensive list of suppliers and their addresses and an update of design acquisitions at the major museums.
