5.0 out of 5 stars a mini-history of design
Bought this for a class. Love it. I had to read it cover to cover, but it is better to reference as needed. Alphabetical designers and design styles and movements. Great for anyone in the creative arts/architecture. I learned things I should have known about design but was ignorant of! This book enriched my life by giving me greater appreciation for designs from furniture to household objects to iconic buildings and taught me the historical and societal factors that influenced why they look the way they do. Worthwhile.
5.0 out of 5 stars Beautiful decoration book for my open shelf!
Smaller than I expected
5.0 out of 5 stars Must Have
Whether you are a student, a professional designer, or simply someone with a passion for aesthetics, "Design of the 20th Century" is an invaluable resource. It captures the spirit and dynamism of the century's most influential designs and designers with elegance and precision.
4.0 out of 5 stars Scratched spine
Love the book, but spine came scuffed
5.0 out of 5 stars An Encyclopedia of Information
Although this is a small text by size, the information on people, places, and things related to design is enormous. I highly recommend this for collectors, artisans, and students of design history.
5.0 out of 5 stars Great reference book for interior designers
Small and compact, and looks just perfect on a coffee table.And if you are a designer; it is a great reference book for iconic furniture designs of the 20th century.
5.0 out of 5 stars Well received
I purchased this book as a gift for a Mid-century style lover. It was a good choice.
1.0 out of 5 stars Book arrived completely damaged.
The book is completely damaged. So disappointing. The content looks amazing, but obviously the people who purchase this book care about aesthetics, and this book arrived looking like someone dropped it down a flight of stairs :( every corner is bashed in.
Es lo que anuncia
The media could not be loaded. El libro lo adquirí con la intención de dibujar los objetos que vienen en él, por lo que sólo me interesa qué tantas imágenes vienen. De momento lo veo excelente para lo que lo necesito.
