Description
The architect and designer Ron Arad has worked with the graphic designer Neville Brody to create this unusual overview of design. Arad's own individual approach to design is reflected in this selection which focuses on technological innovation and on fresh ways of perceiving and creating objects, from computer-generated repeat patterns for textiles to jewel-like hand-held remote controls. In a varied compilation, such established names as Ettore Sottsass, Nanna Ditzel, Kenneth Grange and Gaetano Pesce are included with younger talent. The move towards environmentalism and the emergence of a new conservativeness in design continue to be important themes. This year also sees designers and manufacturers moving towards a new, more human design language, particularly in the fields of products. Illustrations are accompanied by technical data, and a reference section includes biographies of the designers featured, and a comprehensive list of suppliers and their addresses and an update of design acquisitions at the major museums.

Description
The editor for this edition of the "International Design Yearbook" is the French architect and designer Jean Nouvel, whose search for direct archetypal forms has led him to the work of designers such as Henk Stellinga, Rudolf Sachs, Dieter Sieger, Ross Lovegrove and Enzo Mari. Among the themes that emerge are the importance of recyclable and low-energy design, and a concern for modular designs that can adapt to changing living spaces and different lifestyles. His selection establishes a new view of design fundamentals, in which the function of a design, the quality of modern materials, and the intuition of the designer combine to form and inform the final work. Full technical data is included, plus detailed biographies of the designers, a list of suppliers' addresses, and an update of design acquisitions at the major museums around the world.
