Editorial Reviews
Review
"A fascinating insight into the birth and growth of the largest consumer society the world has ever seen -- and a handbook for how to make technology desirable." -- New Scientist
"A great resource for the auto buff as well as aficionados of industrial design." -- Cruise-In.com
Review
"An autobiography by one of the leading industrial designers in this country... Mr. Loewy tells of his youth in France, his coming to America after the first war, his initial success as a fashion artist, and the dawn of industrial design and his part in it... The book is instructive, brash, cocksure, occasionally funny, sometimes vulgar, and always honest." -- New Yorker, reviewing a previous edition or volume
"Whilst displaying an uncommon amount of literary dexterity, modesty, and generosity, Loewy manages to describe the development of his career, his achievements, and the methods and organization of his business... It is the funniest and most lucid success story that the industrial design field has yet produced." -- Interiors, reviewing a previous edition or volume
"The details in this book are amazing... This book serves well to teach how the designs of everyday objects can have an effect on their usefulness, attrativeness, and even potential sales for businesses." -- Paul Regna, Avanti Magazine, reviewing a previous edition or volume
