The Design Book

From innovations so familiar we take them for granted like the paperclip and the martini glass to more iconic pieces, The Design Book is an extraordinary journey through the history of the clever objects that have shaped our society and culture.

With an image for each object featured and descriptive text including information about the product itself, its designer, manufacturer, and history, The Design Book offers fresh insights on everything from the humble Moleskine notebook to the hurricane lantern to the iconic Eames recliner. This new edition also features 30 new products from the last 15 years, expertly selected and curated to reflect modern-day design breakthroughs.
