About the Author
The Design Museum's mission is to celebrate, entertain, and inform. It is the world's leading museum devoted to contemporary design in every form from furniture to graphics, and architecture to industrial design. It is working to place design at the centre of contemporary culture. It demonstrates both the richness of the creativity to be found in all forms of design, and its importance. Design is a hugely fertile field of inventive new work, as well as a key component underpinning the modern economy. It provides a means for understanding the contemporary world, and, potentially, for making it a better place.

Format:Hardcover
A nippy little book, a bit sad not to see some of my favourite chairs but still very informative, great pictures and lacking in pretension that these types of books can be overly burdened with.
For anybody who loves chairs this is certainly worth your while!
