Paperback. Etat : Very Good. The essential shape, form and structure of some objects in our daily lives may have been fixed one, ten, or even a hundred generations ago; but the role of designers has become increasingly prominent in a society that in less than half a century has gone from a restless search for the new to recycling of materials. Manufacturers are using design more systematically than ever before to shape their marketing and make their products more attractive, while designers have sought to raise the status of their activity to that of an art form. Peter Dormer defines with great clarity the contexts within which designers work, and surveys the wide range of postwar activity, including industrial and product design, graphics, furniture, textiles, kitchen utensils and tableware.

Paperback. Etat : Very Good. This volume follows the same style as "American House Now" which documented the vitality of modernism in contemporary architecture in America. It provides a selection of contemporary domestic design from across the European continent, focusing on those architects whose work extends and enriches the vocabulary and philosophy of 20th-century modernism. Examples from England, France, Italy and Germany, and many other European nations, illustrate both international themes and specific regional characteristics. Illustrated with photographs and drawings, the book offers more than a snapshot of contemporary building, it is a meditation on the meaning of domestic space as privacy and individuality become more valued and more scarce. Projects, which range from small houses in dense urban settings to large country houses, are united by the ideals of architecture: specificity and sensitivity to site, form and function.
