The most comprehensive, fully illustrated book on women designers ever published: a celebration of over 200 women product designers from the early 20th century to the present.
This glorious visual celebration of the most incredible and impactful design ever produced by women designers flips the script on what is historically considered a man’s world. Featuring over 200 designers from over 50 countries, including icons and pioneers of the past and present such as Ray Eames, Eileen Gray, Florence Knoll, Ilse Crawford, Faye Toogood, Nathalie du Pasquier, it records and illuminates the fascinating and overlooked history of women’s pre-eminence in the field. With each designer represented by a key product and a short text, this fascinating A-Z survey vitally highlights the most extraordinary objects made by women designers but, more importantly, offers a compelling introduction to the very best in the field of design that proves that design is not, and never has been, a man’s world.
