Published by Taschen, Industrial Design A-Z reflects on the history of industrial design, focusing on how the field has sought to demystify technology and deliver it in accessible form to the widest possible number of consumers. It also highlights the extent to which manufacturing companies themselves have shaped that history. Individual designers and design firms, including Enzo Ferrari, Philippe Starck, Zanussi and Apple Computer, are referenced directly in the A-Z section, which runs to 768 pages of case studies on everyday household items and industrial design innovations.
