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.

Editorial Reviews

Review

‘Feels as if MoMA's design gallery has been expanded to fill an IKEA store.’ – NPR

‘Reading the stories behind these humble objects is every bit as enjoyable as revisiting the iconic masterpieces of Alvar Aalto, Ray and Charles Eames and Dieter Rams.’ –Wall Street Journal

'Beautiful and a must.' – Library Journal , Starred Review

'A chronological overview of some of the most ubiquitous, elegant, and impactful designs from the past four centuries.' – Fast Company

'If you're a hardcore design lover, this book belongs in your library.' – Design Milk

'Sure to be a useful reference guide for industry professionals and design enthusiasts alike.' – Metropolis

'This revision reveals that what we deem iconic is much like the universe itself – both timeless and ever- expanding.' – Introspective Magazine

‘[One of] the absolute best gifts for everyone on your list.’ – Glamour

‘Offers history buffs a chance to learn more about the chairs, cars, and objects they love and recognize as well as to discover something new.’ – Curbed

‘[A] title to check out.’ – Aspire Design and Home

‘Perfect bedside read or coffee-table display’ – Designlines

'While many of the objects are instantly associated with pioneering designers or brands (the Eames chair, the Nintendo Game Boy), others are so ubiquitous that it is easy to forget that they were designed at all (the paper clip, the egg carton).' – Booklist

'Draws from the three-volume Phaidon Design Classics, but costs less and adds more.' – Core77

'Filled with eye-catching, inspiration-lighting ideas that any design enthusiast will love to explore.' – Werd

Beautiful book but delivered with dented corners

Beautiful book but delivered with dented corners
Ordered 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.

This dealer went above and beyond to make sure there is no corner bends nor any crease by packaging it with utmost care and protection the product, I am overly impressed with it. This big heavy book arrived in pristine condition and by the way it came sooner than the said delivery date too, well deserved five stars for their great service.

Gorgeous 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!

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.
