Siemens Industrial Design
100 Years of Continuity in Flux![Siemens Industrial Design<br> <br>100 Years of Continuity in Flux]()
Essay by Christoph Hoesch.
Siemens, one of the world's oldest and largest electrical companies, can boast of more than 100 years of product design history. This colorful past vividly illustrates the fact that design has played a more important role in electrical engineering than in any other technology-related or -based field. This richly illustrated volume traces nearly 100 years of the history of German industrial design, based on examples from the major product fields and function areas. The book paints a multifaceted picture of the Siemens design culture during the 20th century, while pursuing the question of what influence the specific exigencies of "electrical design" exercised on the shapes given to Siemens products and which important stations were traversed along the way.
