DK
A bold, image-led history of design — from everyday objects to era-defining movements.
Design: The Definitive Visual History traces the evolution of design from the Arts and Crafts movement through Art Nouveau, Bauhaus, Art Deco, mid-century modern, postmodernism and contemporary design. Across 400 richly illustrated pages, it explores the chairs, ceramics, posters, interiors, cars, technology, furniture, lighting, graphics and objects that shaped the modern world.
Arranged chronologically, the book looks at how design responds to culture, industry, politics, taste and technology. It introduces key designers, manufacturers, movements and landmark pieces, showing how styles emerge, spread, rebel and return.
With more than 1,200 images, this is a strong visual reference for designers, students, collectors, stylists, makers and anyone interested in how objects carry ideas. A generous design history volume for the studio shelf, coffee table or creative library.
