1000 Design Classics Hardcover – September 28, 2022
Purchase options and add-ons
As featured in Wall Street Journal
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.
The book showcases celebrated names alongside the new stars of modern design, including Le Corbusier, Alvar and Aino Aalto, Isamu Noguchi, Ronan and Erwan Bouroullec, Lani Adeoye, Faye Toogood, and Lindsey Adelman. Each entry is accompanied by beautiful imagery and a detailed description that offers a rich insight into the product, its history, and its maker, from the renowned Tulip Chair by Eero Saarinen to the much-loved Bird Zero e-scooter.
This handsome book is the perfect reference guide for design enthusiasts, industry professionals, and all those interested in the creative process.

- Reviewed in the United States on July 16, 2023A really nice sized coffee table book with so much information! Paper clips to cars and things you may not know existed. Very interesting and perfect for any design enthusiast!
- Reviewed in the United States on December 23, 2022Gorgeous book filled with inspiration and info. Only sad thing is that Amazon shipped it in a flimsy sleeve so of course the corner got crushed by its on weight. I decided to keep it, despite the damage, because I was so excited to read it. Please ship heavy books with care, Amazon!

- Reviewed in the United States on January 21, 2024Ordered it for a gift. Not satisfied with condition of the look. All corners are dented, one of them a bit teared up and glue or dirt is visible on top, which could have drooped due to torn packaging. That’s why I think it’s overpriced.

3.0 out of 5 stars Great book, bad packaging
If you place a high value on books having perfect condition covers, maybe consider picking up from somewhere other than direct from Amazon. The Amazon packaging doesn't provide much protection for heavy books, and this one has a textured cover. The book is really great though.
