Abstract

This book looks at the period after the Second World War, which was characterized by rapid reconstruction and modernization that spread throughout society and across social classes. Germany, Italy and Japan, thanks to financial assistance from the USA, increased the production and worldwide export of products that had already reached high standards in both design and technology. More and more manufacturers became conscious of the importance of good design, not only for products aimed at an elite cognoscenti but also those destined for the booming middle class. With so many products available and competition so high, designers were expected to make things easier to manufacture, use and distribute as well as more beautiful. Post-war housing was brighter and more spacious than ever before. Kitchens were fitted with modern appliances that made household chores easier and more enjoyable. Charles and Ray Eames, Jean Prouve, Arne Jacobsen and Alvar Aalto, among others, were commissioned to design furniture and appliances for the middle class home. Televisions, radios and telephones became commonplace and were designed to look stylish, to be left on display rather than being hidden away. Transport was becoming more sophisticated, with scooters, small cars and airplanes allowing people increased mobility. The universal desire for speed prompted designers to create some of the greatest sports cars ever.

Abstract

This volume follows the development of product design from the late 1960s to the present. In the last forty years, industrial design has been radically changed by the introduction of a vast array of new technologies and materials. As commercial air travel enabled individuals access to more parts of the world and colour television brought the rest of the globe into people's living rooms, communication became an increasingly important part of everyday life, inspiring the rapid development of digital culture. This has served as both a provocation and an opportunity for a new generation of product designers who see design not only as the creation of beautiful, functional objects but also as a tool to remake every aspect of contemporary life. These products, designed with and for these new technologies, have changed the way we communicate, travel, and make ourselves at home in the twenty-first century. Digital design opened up an almost endless variety of forms that has been explored and refined by innovative designers such as Philippe Starck, Ron Arad, Marc Newson and Jonathan Ive, and digital production has enabled an entirely new level of precision in manufacturing.

Abstract

Cell phones, watches, coffee cups, grand pianos, light fixtures, even a dog house. Consumer products are brought to life through designers’ imagination and ingenuity, and Terence Conran and Max Fraser present some of the biggest names in the business and the items they’ve created. Between the covers of Designers on Design are interviews with more than a hundred designers, who answer such questions as : What was your big break?; What or who has most influenced your work?; What elements of the design process do you find particularly frustrating? To what level will you compromise to satisfy your client? This beautifully illustrated book shows key pieces from each designer, along with a timeline that highlights major developments in the field from the early 1900s to the beginning of this century. Designers on Design provides a rare insight into the creative thought processes of today’s leading designers in their own words. Terence Conran is a leading design authority, furniture maker, restaurateur, and retailer. He is the founder of Habit retail store chain, which has stores in New York and cities around the world. Conran’s books include The Essential House Book, Terence Conran on Design, and Easy Living.
