About this title

Synopsis

This is a pictorial overview of the development of design and materials in the past 300 years, which have produced a wealth of innovative industrial design. Items such as the garden trug and bicycles, the Wedgwood teapot and milk bottles were all developed during these centuries and yet are still in use today. In this book, the authors look over this timespan and select examples of fine wood, glass, metal and ceramic designs on a decade by decade basis. They put each design into the context of the time it was developed and illustrate each item with scale drawings, photographs and catalogue entries from the period. It gives a picture of their interrelationship and highlights the importance between different design disciplines.

About the Author

The authors, Adrian and Ditte Heath and Aage Lund Jensen, have taught at the School of Architecture at Aarhus in Denmark. By training architects and designers, they are passionate about good design.

Shipping Terms

Postage and packing is charged at our rate listed with ABE. However it is worth pointing out that UK postage just goes on going up and that sending a huge Fine Art book to Timbuctoo is simply not going to travel there for six or seven quid. On more recent listings we include a warning to this effect in the description of heavier books. We feel that clarifying this is in everyone's best interests and mention it because mostly we're not paperback merchants and include a sizeable number of hefty books in our stock. Even surface mail is creeping up and in due course may it may be that we're entering a time when sending heavy books overseas will soon be no longer feasible unless you're happy to take out a mortgage for the fee. We've tried the alternatives to Royal Mail and by and large for us they've been found wanting.
