| Product Design Bookshelf
Emily Pilloton, author of Design Revolution, defines design as “problem-solving with grace and foresight.” No discipline is free from design criteria: the manufactured objects that are the building blocks of our environment can be badly designed, indifferently designed or designed “with grace and foresight.” Below is a selection of our finest books on product, ranging from monographs on individual designers and companies to surveys of design genres such as watch and chair design.
The featured image is Norman Foster's 2010 realization of Buckminster Fuller's Dymaxion Car, three prototypes of which were constructed in the 1930s. See Buckminster Fuller: Dymaxion Car from Ivorypress, below.
