I love this book! You will be amazed at the history of design this book lays out before you. It explores the design of everything from exotic european sports cars and art deco furniture, to kitchen appliances and office desks. Great names in design are addressed from Miller and Eames, to Apple electronics. I have spent hours looking through this book. I’m somewhat obsessed with finding and buying something pictured in it’s pages.
