International Design Yearbook 16 [Hardcover]

Book Description

Series: International Design Yearbook | Publication Date: April 1, 2001

Covering five major areas of domestic design, this yearbook devotes separate chapters to furniture, lighting, tableware, textiles and other products created over the past 18 months by both well-known designers and new names from around the world. The annual presents futuristic technological ideas, such as Ron Arad's computer-animated vases, as well as reinventions of time-honoured objects, like Sir Norman Foster's light design for Artemide. This "who's who" of domestic design includes the vibrant, modern talent of Emmanuel Babled, Jonathan Ives, and Ettore Sottsass, and design teams from Philips, Sharp, and Siemens. The objects are illustrated and full technical data is given for each. A comprehensive reference section provides biographies of the designers, a list of suppliers and their addresses, and an updated list of design acquisitions at major international museums.
