A Century of Design: Pioneers of the 20th Century, November 30, 1999
This review is from: Century of Design, A: Design Pioneers of the 20th Century (Hardcover)
Excellent brief over view with short bio and photos of the major designers of our century. The only drawback is that the author has a clear bias towards furniture, so that most of the photos show furniture even when the designers have created products.
