Biografie. 4to (cm 30x24). pp. 256. Ottimo (Fine). . One of the first books to offer a critical assessment of American design in the last part of the 20th century, US Design accompanies a major exhibition that will travel the United States. Focusing on three generations of American designers and the movements they have embraced and reinvented, this exciting volume shows how -- from unique art pieces to the museums that house them, book jackets to film rifles, in-line skates to laptop computers -- nearly every aspect of life during the last quarter century has been infused with the genius and creativity of its designers.One of the defining characteristics of American design in this period has been its lack of any dominant theoretical or stylistic approach. US Design celebrates this pluralism by presenting an array of objects from architects as well as decorative, industrial, product, and graphic designers. Uno dei primi libri a offrire una valutazione critica del design americano nell'ultima parte del XX secolo, US Design accompagna una grande mostra che viaggerà negli Stati Uniti. Concentrandosi su tre generazioni di designer americani e sui movimenti che hanno abbracciato e reinventato, questo appassionante volume mostra come - dalle opere d'arte uniche ai musei che le ospitano, dalle copertine dei libri ai fucili da caccia, dai pattini in linea ai computer portatili - quasi ogni aspetto della vita durante l'ultimo quarto di secolo è stato permeato dal genio e dalla creatività dei suoi designer, e una delle caratteristiche distintive del design americano in questo periodo è stata la mancanza di un approccio teorico o stilistico dominante. Il design americano celebra questo pluralismo presentando una serie di oggetti di architetti e di designer decorativi, industriali e commerciali.
