Design from Art Nouveau to Minimalism ... and everything in between
The book "Design des 20. Jahrhunderts" was published by Charlotte & Peter Fiell for TASCHEN Verlag. A cross-section of the creativity of the 20. century - from furniture to graphic design, from organic to geometric, from art deco to pop to high-tech. All the designers who put the finishing touches to civilization and helped create our modern world are represented.
Geniuses and Gesamtkunstwerk
More or less safely arrived in the 2nd 1. century, we finally see clearly: the 20. century was firmly in the hands of designers. Aesthetics took possession of everyday life and transformed our homes and offices into galleries of ever-changing style fashions in which progress showed its frivolous side.
TASCHEN brings together the entire design spectrum - from furniture to graphic design, from the organic to the geometric, from art deco to pop to high-tech. All the designers who put the finishing touches to civilization and helped create our modern world are represented - from Marcel Breuer to Dieter Rams, from Gerrit Rietveld to Arne Jacobsen and Harry Bertoia to Philippe Starck, to name but a few.
This A-Z of designers and styles provides a comprehensive cross-section of the creativity of the 20. century, as competent as it is opulent.
