Twenty-First Century Design

This book is a comprehensive map of contemporary design – architecture, furniture, graphics, fashion, urban design and homeware – at the beginning of the new century.

Design is no longer the premise of the wealthy elite – good design can be found in affordable and accessible brands that bring stylish products to the masses and it’s this ‘everyman’ approach that is embraced by the book. Stunning, full-colour photographs featuring over 230 of the most popular and groundbreaking ‘future classics’ of design.

OUTLINE

Twenty-first Century Design is a fascinating survey of the contemporary design landscape, guiding the reader through the intoxicating array of contemporary movements, styles and trends, and identifying today’s leading designers, as well as future design classics. This pioneering publication places the contemporary scene in a historic framework and explores cultural and economic forces shaping design now and in the years to come.

Accessible and engaging, it charts the incredible explosion of design worldwide and discusses cross-fertilization between design movements in what is rapidly emerging as one of the most exciting industries in the world.
