Design of the 20th Century

The design-bible (25 years TASCHEN - Special Edition!)

At the beginning of the 21st century do we see clear: The earlier cebtury was a century of the design; the esthetic takes possession of daily life and changes ourhouses into offices in a vertiable galery for style and innovation.

TASCHEN collects here everything from furniture to work of art, from the organic to the geometric and from Art Deco over Pop up to High-Tech. Rresented are all artists, who give make our life more sharpen and design our modern world - Bernhard Bertoia, Dieter Rams, Philippe Starck, Charles and Ray Eames, just to name some of them.
