A Dictionary of Modern Design
NK1165.W66 2006
Sometimes a book's cover, or in this case, the book jacket, is an indication of what is between the boards. The stylish use of the ISBN number and large colorful bar code are emblematic of good modern design. As well as being a dictionary of modern design, this book is also a concise history. It is filled with biographies of individuals, such as Laura Ashley, Charles Eames, and Robert Venturi, as well as entries for styles (Art deco, Danish modern); materials (Bakelite, Chrome, Formica); companies (IKEA, Tupperware, Prada); and more. Each alphabet letter section, from A through XYZ, is introduced by a classic example of modern design. For example, F is illustrated with a photograph of Fiskars scissors; N with a Nokia mobile phone; R with a Rubik's Cube.
