WALTHER KöNIG, KöLN/KOENIG BOOKS

Design Research Unit: 1942-72

Text by Michelle Cotton.

In the same way that the Helvetica font graphically defined the New York City subway system, the Design Research Unit visually branded the London we know today in everything from its street signs to such corporate identities as British Rail. Design Research Unit: 1942–72 details the history of the Unit and includes contemporary perspectives by artists, designers and critics.
