Written by three internationally renowned design historians, this is a major critical assessment of European design from the previous decades. It begins with an insightful examination of the complex social, political, economic, and cultural forces that have helped to shape European design since World War II, and examines in detail the most important conceptual and aesthetic movements to have emerged since the mid-1980s. Among the hundreds of color images here are Marc Newman's aircraft-like Lockheed Chaise Longue in riveted aluminum; the Dyson DC-11 vacuum cleaner; the Nokia 5210 mobile telephone, and a collection of Swatch watches.
