Design in Frankfurt 1920-1990: With a Contribution by Dieter Rams and a Prologue by Matthias K. Wagner (German and English Edition) - Softcover
“Less, but better”: The motto of the Frankfurt designer Dieter Rams is still topical today – and very much so. In the face of rapid globalization and an increasing number of premium product consumers, the question on the resources and the longevity of products inevitably arises.
The book outlines the prevalent design trends in Frankfurt and in the Rhine-Main-area from the 1920s to the 1980s. For furniture, interior and graphic design made in and around Frankfurt over seven decades, functionality, visual strength, austerity, aesthetics in clear shapes and the visionary element always played a major role. This first compact illustration of regional design also raises the question, to what extent German design in the 20th century defined itself through decentralized but intensively interlinked places and institutions.

Book Description Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - 'Weniger, aber besser': Das Motto des Frankfurter Designers Dieter Rams hat bis heute nichts an Aktualität eingebüßt - im Gegenteil. Angesichts fortgeschrittener Globalisierung und einer steigenden Anzahl von Konsumenten hochwertiger Produkte stellt sich unweigerlich die Frage nach den Ressourcen und der Langlebigkeit von Produkten.Das Buch gibt einen Überblick, welche Designhaltung in Frankfurt und im Rhein Main Gebiet von den 1920er bis in die 1980er Jahre vorherrschend war. Bei Möbeln, Interieur und Grafikdesign aus sieben Jahrzehnten, die in und um Frankfurt herum entstanden sind, spielte das Zweckhafte und visuell Haltbare, das Sparsame, das Ästhetische in klaren Formen und das Visionäre stets eine große Rolle. In dieser ersten komprimierten Designgeschichte zur Region wird dabei auch die Frage aufgeworfen, inwieweit sich deutsches Design im 20. Jahrhundert durch dezentrale, aber intensiv miteinander vernetzte Orte und Institutionen definiert hat. Seller Inventory # 9783899862072
