Twenty-one profiles by design historian Libby Sellers, tracing women's overlooked influence on design from early pioneers such as Eileen Gray to contemporary figures such as Neri Oxman. It covers architecture, industrial, graphic and digital design across the twentieth century to today.
Twenty-one richly illustrated profiles reclaiming women's overlooked influence on modern design, from Eileen Gray to Neri Oxman. A corrective to the record that, in SDF terms, restores missing authors of design's Procedures and Outcomes. Written by curator and design historian Libby Sellers, the book presents twenty-one profiles of women who have shaped design as practitioners, commentators, educators and commissioners, working across architecture, industrial, graphic and digital design. It moves between historical pioneers such as Eileen Gray, Lora Lamm and Lella Vignelli and contemporary figures including Kazuyo Sejima, Hella Jongerius and Neri Oxman.
