The most innovative, iconic, and influential products ever designed – from 1663 to the present day
Description
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. Wegner, and Florence Knoll.
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.
The book showcases celebrated names alongside the new stars of modern design, including Le Corbusier, Alvar and Aino Aalto, Isamu Noguchi, Ronan and Erwan Bouroullec, Lani Adeoye, Faye Toogood, and Lindsey Adelman. Each entry is accompanied by beautiful imagery and a detailed description that offers a rich insight into the product, its history, and its maker, from the renowned Tulip Chair by Eero Saarinen to the much-loved Bird Zero e-scooter.
This handsome book is the perfect reference guide for design enthusiasts, industry professionals, and all those interested in the creative process.

Quinlin Johnson2025-02-02 Excellent selection and service. Had exactly what I needed too! Would absolutely recommend Dyna Rose Orfano (Dyna Rose Baldonado)2025-02-02 This store is a go-to for home decor, gifts, and stationery. With a curated selection of stylish finds and a warm atmosphere, browsing is a delight. The friendly staff and excellent service make it a must-visit for unique and functional items! Jacqueline Gilchrist2025-02-01 If you're looking for that perfect, unique gift or a standout piece to elevate your home decor, the Colour Market in Vancouver is an absolute must-visit! Whether you're into minimalist chic, boho vibes, or vibrant, eclectic designs, you'll find something that fits seamlessly into your home. I’ve discovered so many treasures here that have become staples in my home. One of my favorites is their selection of crates – they have the perfect mix of practicality and style. My daughters and I each have our own, and we use them to store everything from stationery and to-do items to stickers and markers. It’s a simple yet stylish way to keep things organized! They also fold down for easy storage. And I absolutely love their chili dried mangos – sweet, tangy, and just the right amount of heat. If you ask my daughters, their mermaid tattoos are what they loved most. We have bought a lot of temporary tattoos over the years and these ones are special - sparkly, fun and just too cute.

Overall the shop has such interesting products in wonderful colors. It was a lot of fun to mix and match colors and browse around. The staff is very friendly and helpful. Will definitely visit again.
