In When Design Really Works, art historian Susie Hodge dissects eighty outstanding designs, from the Polaroid and camera and the Sony Walkman to the Coca-Cola bottle and Converse All Star sneakers. Featuring designers as diverse as Le Corbusier, Alvar Aalto, Dieter Rams, Ron Arad, and Philippe Starck, this insightful book highlights the elements of each design that distinguish it from its peers, such as functionality, innovative use of materials or technologies, and aesthetic appeal. When Design Really Works will open your eyes to the defining qualities of the enduring product designs that have become part of our everyday lives." --Cover page 4.
