Zustand: Sehr gut. 229 S. Einband leicht berieben. - If anybody asked me to make up a short-list of the ten most British designs of the past century, this would be it: One of Christopher Dresser's startlingly innovative metalwork designs of c. 1880: British design at its most brilliant and precise -- A William Morris chintz. -- A Gimson ladderback chair in ash, epitome of the ruralist traditional, homely yet very subtle, dominating British design till 1930 -- A pre-war Murphy radio cabinet, designed by R.D.Russell -- One of the decorative pottery designs which Eric Ravilious did for Wedgwood in the 1930s. -- A Race chair, as seen at the Festival of Britain, 1951. -- A lighting design by Robert Heritage for Rotaflex, an admirable example of the reappearance of old Design and Industries Association principles of common-sense and Tightness in product designing in the post-war period -- A Shirley Craven fabric, superb illustration of mid-1960s jollity and style -- A spectacular piece of Craft Revival furniture of the 1970s, when the decorative individualistic urges, surprisingly, resurfaced -- A High-Speed Train. All these. I would maintain, have a common basis in a particular, peculiarly British tradition of designing, and most are illustrated in the book. (Fiona MacCarthy).
