1000 Design Classics Phaidon editors
The most innovative, iconic, and influential products ever designed – from 1663 to the present day
Originating from the highly acclaimed and groundbreaking three-volume Phaidon Design Classics, this new book presents 1,000 of the world’s greatest objects in one large-format volume – from everyday items by anonymous creators to lauded pieces by the likes of Charles and Ray Eames, Charlotte Perriand, Dieter Rams, Richard Sapper, Hans J. Wegner, and Florence Knoll. Carefully revised to bring every detail up to date, and with the addition of 100 new items that highlight designers from a diverse variety of backgrounds (including a greater number of female designers) and products from the last 15 years, this collection of the world’s greatest product design is more comprehensive, compelling – and relevant – than ever before.

Praise for Phaidon Design Classics: ‘An intriguing journey not only through the history of design, but also through a history of taste and culture.’ – Design Week ‘What the Oxford dictionary is to words, this is to man-made objects. You won’t want to put it down.’ – Guardian
‘The designer of today re-establishes the long-lost contact between art and the public, between living people and art as a living thing.’ – Bruno Munari
‘Good design is long-lasting – it avoids being fashionable and therefore never appears antiquated.’ – Dieter Rams
‘What works good is better than what looks good, because what works good lasts.’ – Ray Eames
