1000 Design Classics

Product Information

This dealer went above and beyond to make sure there is no corner bends nor any crease by packaging it with utmost care and protection the product, I am overly impressed with it. Originating from the highly acclaimed and groundbreaking three-volume Phaidon Design Classics , this new book presents 1,000 of the world's greatest objects in one large-format volume - from everyday items by anonymous creators to lauded pieces by the likes of Charles and Ray Eames, Charlotte Perriand, Dieter Rams, Richard Sapper, Hans J. We don’t share your credit card details with third-party sellers, and we don’t sell your information to others. All corners are dented, one of them a bit teared up and glue or dirt is visible on top, which could have drooped due to torn packaging.

Since the publisher's founding in Vienna in 1923, Phaidon has sold more than 42 million books worldwide. Carefully revised to bring every detail up to date, and with the addition of 100 new items that highlight designers from a diverse variety of backgrounds (including a greater number of female designers) and products from the last 15 years, this collection of the world's greatest product design is more comprehensive, compelling – and relevant - than ever before. Design Classics, published by Phaidon, presents one thousand of the most important design classics, from 1663 to the present day.

Filled with eye-catching, inspiration-lighting ideas that any design enthusiast will love to explore. This revision reveals that what we deem iconic is much like the universe itself – both timeless and ever- expanding. Working with a broad and diverse panel of contributors from around the world, Phaidon Editors have created many of Phaidon's classic publications, including 30,000 Years of Art, The Fashion Book, The Gardener’s Garden, and the Atlas of Brutalist Architecture. Design Classics is therefore the perfect book for design lovers and professionals, but also for those new to design who want a deep dive into the world of design, the most important classics, and the most important designers.

Phaidon Press is a global publisher of books on art, architecture, design, fashion, photography, and popular culture, as well as cookbooks, children's books, and travel books. Reading the stories behind these humble objects is every bit as enjoyable as revisiting the iconic masterpieces of Alvar Aalto, Ray and Charles Eames and Dieter Rams.And when questions arose (regarding a bookshelf that needed clever assembly), their representatives in Finland were so helpful and thoughtful. This handsome book is the perfect reference guide for design enthusiasts, industry professionals, and all those interested in the creative process.
