Twenty-First Century Design

This book is a comprehensive map of contemporary design – architecture, furniture, graphics, fashion, urban design and homeware – at the beginning of the new century. Design is no longer the premise of the wealthy elite – good design can be found in affordable and accessible brands that bring stylish products to the masses and it’s this ‘everyman’ approach that is embraced by the book. Stunning, full-colour photographs featuring over 230 of the most popular and groundbreaking ‘future classics’ of design.
