| Synopsis: |
"Masterpieces of German Design" is the first of a series of books dedicated to the national design outputs of specific countries. This publication traces the twists and turns of German design from Jugendstil and the Bauhaus to Postwar and Late Modern, and beyond. Beautifully illustrated, this book features one hundred landmark German designs, each one being accompanied by authoritative descriptive information and an in-depth explanatory text. The highly varied selection of objects ranges from an early Pfaff sewing machine to the gull-wing Mercedes-Benz 300 SL to Konstantin Grcic's recent MYTO chair. As well as an informative introductory essay, "Masterpieces of German Design" also features a useful timeline, which contextualises the selected designs in relation to historical events. It is a very cool book providing a fresh new take on national characteristics in design. |
