Design of the 20th Century Hardcover – October 15, 2012

Although this is a small text by size, the information on people, places, and things related to design is enormous. I highly recommend this for collectors, artisans, and students of design history.

Whether you are a student, a professional designer, or simply someone with a passion for aesthetics, "Design of the 20th Century" is an invaluable resource. It captures the spirit and dynamism of the century's most influential designs and designers with elegance and precision.

Bought this for a class. Love it. I had to read it cover to cover, but it is better to reference as needed. Alphabetical designers and design styles and movements. Great for anyone in the creative arts/architecture. I learned things I should have known about design but was ignorant of! This book enriched my life by giving me greater appreciation for designs from furniture to household objects to iconic buildings and taught me the historical and societal factors that influenced why they look the way they do. Worthwhile.

Love the book, but spine came scuffed

Small and compact, and looks just perfect on a coffee table.And if you are a designer; it is a great reference book for iconic furniture designs of the 20th century.

I purchased this book as a gift for a Mid-century style lover. It was a good choice.

Fast delivery.
