Iconic Designs is a beautifully designed and illustrated guide to fifty classic things designs that we find in the city, in our homes and offices, on page and screen, and in our everyday lives. In her introduction, Grace Lees-Maffei explores what makes a design iconic, and fifty essays by leading design and cultural critics tell the story of each iconic thing, its innovative and unique qualities, and its journey to classic status. Subjects range from the late 19th century to the present day, and include the Sydney Opera House, the Post-It Note, Coco Chanels classic suit, the Sony Walkman, Hello Kitty, the typeface Helvetica, the Ford Model T, Harry Becks diagrammatic map of the London Underground and the Apple iMac G3. This handsome volume provides a treasure trove of stories that will shed new light on the iconic designs that we use without thinking, aspire to possess, love or hate (or love to hate) and which form part of the fabric of our everyday lives.
