Synopsis:
This strikingly designed book has a charming simplicity: on each page, ordinary household objects have been photographed with sharp precision against bright color backgrounds, and on each corresponding page the word of each object is given in ten different languages. Next to each of these one-word translations is a phonetic spelling, and the languages represented include Dutch, English, French, German, Italian, and Arabic. This is a classic primer on twentieth-century design: here are the best Things-the best pencil, lamp, mug, flashlight, table, radio, thermometer...the list goes on and on. Whether for design afficionados, a language tool, as a gift, or as an art object, this book's vivid look makes for delightful browsing.
