Reviews
The texture and timbre of twentieth-century American life were created by a flood of mass-produced products that reached astonishing proportions with the advent of the digital revolution. Design historians are just beginning to get a hook on the hectic era that delivered the Post-it Note, Stealth bomber, personal computer, ergonomic design, and Rollerblades. USDesign, 1975-2000, the print facet of a traveling exhibition organized by the Denver Art Museum, covers the diverse and progressive work of late-century architectural, graphic, decorative, and industrial designers by presenting a wealth of intriguing illustrations and text that combines design theory with discussion of manufacturing and marketing techniques forged in the increasingly global marketplace. Fanciful concepts, sheer extravagance, and good old-fashioned problem solving are all evident in this instructive and enjoyable overview. Donna Seaman

First Edition. Fine cloth copy in an equally fine dw. Particularly and surprisingly well-preserved; tight, bright, clean and especially sharp-cornered.; 255 pages; One of the defining characteristics of American design since 1975 has been its lack of any dominant theoretical or stylistic approach. This book celebrates this pluralism by presenting an array of objects from architects as well as decorative, industrial, product and graphic designers. It features the work of such international stars as Robert Venturi, Frank Gehry and Michael Graves; "next-wave" artists of the 1980s such as Thom Mayne, Steven Holl, Katherine McCoy and David Carson; and today's emerging young designers, including Karim Rashid, Christopher Deam and Ross Menuez. Arranged both chronologically and stylistically, this illustrated volume offers essays that track four distinct directions that the field of design has taken since 1975. 1 Kg.
