Design in the 20th Century

by Susan Lambert and Victoria and Albert Museum

Published 2 April 1997

The second volume in the "Design in the 20th Century" series, this book explains and then challenges the notion that a form in architecture and product design is derived solely from practical functions. The text sets the role of function in a historical perspective, quoting extensively from the writings of theorists and designers. The illustrations include work of the Arts and Crafts movement, Modernism, Street Style and recent Italian and Spanish designers.
