Book Description Hardcover. Condition: Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. 327 pp. with over 300 B/W illustrations. DJ very slightly edgeworn and yellowed. "This is the story of how the British, against all the odds, became design-conscious . The individuals concerned in this story are fascinating characters. There are Henry Cole and William Morris; Ambrose Heal and Harry Peach, stalwart founders of the Design and Industries Association; the high-level bureaucrat Frank Pick, whose role in London Transport did much to spread the gospel in the thirties; Sir Gordon Russell, furniture maker and idealist; and the designers of the sixties and seventies. Equally fascinating is their work and the subsequent devleopment of each industury; furniture, toys, textiles, glass, ceramics, silver, stainless steel and jewellery. Large sections of the book are devoted to product design - lights, cookers, food-mixers, clocks - and another big section goes to capital goods - tools and instruments, office equipment, street furniture, and transport. Events which have influenced design are covered: the Great Exhibition of 1851, the Britain Can Make It Exhibition, and the Festival of Britain." This oversized book may require additional shipping.
