This handsome book is the perfect reference guide for design enthusiasts, industry professionals, and all those interested in the creative process. The book showcases celebrated names alongside the new stars of modern design, including Le Corbusier, Alvar and Aino Aalto, Isamu Noguchi, Ronan and Erwan Bouroullec, Lani Adeoye, Faye Toogood, and Lindsey Adelman. Carefully revised to bring every detail up to date, and with the addition of 100 new items that highlight designers from a diverse variety of backgrounds (including a greater number of female designers) and products from the last 15 years, this collection of the world's greatest product design is more comprehensive, compelling - and relevant - than ever before.

Originating from the highly acclaimed and groundbreaking three-volume Phaidon Design Classics, this new book presents 1,000 of the world's greatest objects in one large-format volume - 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. To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average.All corners are dented, one of them a bit teared up and glue or dirt is visible on top, which could have drooped due to torn packaging. With over 1,500 titles in print, Phaidon books are sold in over 100 countries and are printed in English, French, Spanish, German, Italian, Mandarin, and dozens of other languages. Nothing cheap here, that’s for sure, but this is perfect for special treats, and there’s IKEA for the rest! Filled with eye-catching, inspiration-lighting ideas that any design enthusiast will love to explore.

This revision reveals that what we deem iconic is much like the universe itself – both timeless and ever- expanding. Since the publisher's founding in Vienna in 1923, Phaidon has sold more than 42 million books worldwide.Working with a broad and diverse panel of contributors from around the world, Phaidon Editors have created many of Phaidon's classic publications, including 30,000 Years of Art, The Fashion Book, The Gardener’s Garden, and the Atlas of Brutalist Architecture.
