About This Item
London and New York: Laurence King; Museum of Modern Art, 2004. Cloth, 832 pages, colour illustrations; 26 cm. Tight, clean copy. Dust jacket protected in a mylar book cover. OVERSIZE! No priority/international, except by special arrangement. Profusely illustrated. "Everyone is interested in design nowadays; figures like Philippe Starck are as venerated and well known as more traditional artists. But where the literature on fine art is vast, with innumerable histories and dictionaries flooding the market, design is still comparatively ill-served. The Design Encyclopedia aims to provide an account of the still largely unknown story of design. The books covers design throughout the world, from Japan to Finland. Manufacturers and key designers from the last 130 years are covered alphabetically, with biographical accounts of careers, listings of major works and exhibitions, and bibliographies for further reading." - Publisher.. Hardcover. Fine/Fine. 4to.
