European Design Since 1985: Shaping the New Century

This authoritative publication is the first major critical assessment of European design at the turn of the millennium. Beginning with an incisive examination of the complex forces - social, political, economic and cultural - that have helped to shape European design since the Second World War, and drawing on the work of a wide range of both established and emerging designers, European Design Since 1985 looks in detail at the most important conceptual and aesthetic movements to have emerged since the mid-1980s. This book features hundreds of color images of the most significant and influential objects of the period.
