1000 Design Classics (Hardcover)

Originating from the highly acclaimed three-volume Phaidon Design Classics, this large-format volume presents 1,000 of the world's greatest objects from 1663 to the present day, 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, it adds 100 new items that highlight designers from a diverse variety of backgrounds and products from the last 15 years, placing celebrated names alongside the new stars of modern design including Ronan and Erwan Bouroullec, Lani Adeoye, Faye Toogood and Lindsey Adelman. Each entry is accompanied by beautiful imagery and a detailed description offering 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.
