Design on trial: Critique and metamorphosis of the contemporary objectFrancoAngeli - 178 pagine Different industrial objects have been taken to trial during time, such as steel handles, plastic vessels, decorated chairs, packaging or neon lamps. They have been accused of perpetrating a crime against art and soul, against ecology and civilisation, against style and imagination. Through 12 keywords which contain the answer to the accusations towards industrial objects, this book explores a series of influential phenomena which characterise design today and it eventually uncovers the only real crime which design can make. |
