Editor's Notes and Comments:
Product Description:
This encyclopedia is the most comprehensive guide available to international product design of the twentieth and twenty-first centuries. It includes 350 entries on influential designers and studios and the most important design-led manufacturers worldwide, both past and present, from Frank Lloyd Wright, Raymond Loewy and Philippe Starck to Apple, Ikea and BMW. The products featured range from classic cars, furniture and ceramics to the latest MP3 players. Each entry includes an informative profile, a biography or company history, and a product chronology, and is accompanied by colour photographs.

Rated by buyers -
If you like modern design, you should like this book. It consists of around 300 one- or two-page articles, each one focusing on either an individual designer or on a design studio or manufacturer. They are in alphabetical order by name. There is a few paragraphs of text for each entry and a short history. There are also between five and ten colour photos of products for each entry, and these are the highlight of the book. The products include furniture, light fixtures and lamps, cookware, small appliances, cars, etc.
Modern design is often witty and unusual (I didn't know anyone made designer dog kennels) and the wide range of products makes perusing through this book interesting. My only complaint is that sometimes the text mentions a particular item which sounds rather intriguing, but there is no photo of it.
