Concentrandosi su tre generazioni di designer americani e sui movimenti che hanno abbracciato e reinventato, questo appassionante volume mostra come - dalle opere d'arte uniche ai musei che le ospitano, dalle copertine dei libri ai fucili da caccia, dai pattini in linea ai computer portatili - quasi ogni aspetto della vita durante l'ultimo quarto di secolo è stato permeato dal genio e dalla creatività dei suoi designer, e una delle caratteristiche distintive del design americano in questo periodo è stata la mancanza di un approccio teorico o stilistico dominante. Il design americano celebra questo pluralismo presentando una serie di oggetti di architetti e di designer decorativi, industriali e commerciali.

One of the first books to offer a critical assessment of American design in the last part of the 20th century, US Design accompanies a major exhibition that will travel the United States. Focusing on three generations of American designers and the movements they have embraced and reinvented, this exciting volume shows how - from unique art pieces to the museums that house them, book jackets to film titles, in-line skates to laptop computers - nearly every aspect of life during the last quarter century has been infused with the genius and creativity of its designers.
