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. Review: Great Coffee Table Book - Good coffee table book to flip through when you’re bored. It looks great as a decor item and it also has some pretty interesting insights on how a lot of the things we think of as ordinary were thoughtfully designed. I also think it was cheaper here than any other place I tried to purchase this book from. Review: Fun and visually appealing - A really nice sized coffee table book with so much information! Paper clips to cars and things you may not know existed. Very interesting and perfect for any design enthusiast!

Great Coffee Table Book
Good coffee table book to flip through when you’re bored. It looks great as a decor item and it also has some pretty interesting insights on how a lot of the things we think of as ordinary were thoughtfully designed. I also think it was cheaper here than any other place I tried to purchase this book from.

A Five Stars Dealer.
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.

Beautiful but damaged.
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!

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.

Great book, bad packaging
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.

Great book, shipping quality is ok
Love this book. Really nice designs. Book looks fine but the cover of the book has very small dents and the pages at the end hover a little bit above the end cover (probably due to shipping?) so that’s why only 4 stars. Otherwise really nice book.
