The Design Book

The ultimate collection of the most innovative, beautiful and influential products still in production - now fully up to date.

From the paperclip to the Eames Lounge Chair, the hundreds of everyday objects included in The Design Book span the last five centuries and shape our society in indelible ways. This extraordinary collection includes classic pieces by Breuer, Le Corbusier and Castiglioni as well as anonymously-designed objects like the deck chair, the whisk and the clothes peg. With the addition of 30 products designed within the last ten years, this new edition is more comprehensive - and relevant - than ever.
