●内容简介——

《关于设计的完整故事》仔细研究了世界各地设计的主要发展、运动和从业人员，从工业制造的开始到今天。该书按时间顺序排列，将设计置于其技术、文化、经济、美学和理论的背景中。

从19世纪高尚的道德家到现代主义的激进思想家--从20世纪30年代雷蒙德-卢瓦这样的表演者的出现到今天菲利普-斯塔克这样的超级明星--本书对这个触及我们所有生活的主题进行了深入报道。书中详细分析了标志着向前迈进的重要步骤或代表特定时代或方法的标志性作品--例如马塞尔-布鲁尔1925年的瓦西里椅子、艾略特-诺伊斯在20世纪50年代为IBM所做的企业标识工作以及马修-卡特为在屏幕上阅读而设计的Verdana字体--同时文本还阐述了思想、意图和技术的框架，不同的设计方法都是在这个框架内发展的。

从我们驾驶的汽车和购买的产品到我们周围的图形，我们都是设计的消费者。《关于设计的完整故事》提供了解读物质世界所需的所有信息。

Design: The Whole Story takes a close look at the key developments, movements and practitioners of design around the world, from the beginnings of industrial manufacturing to the present day. Organized chronologically, it locates design within its technological, cultural, economic, aesthetic and theoretical contexts.

From the high-minded moralists of the 19th century to the radical thinkers of modernism – and from the emergence of showmen such as Raymond Loewy in the 1930s to today’s superstars such as Philippe Starck – the book provides in-depth coverage of a subject that touches all our lives. Iconic works that mark significant steps forward or that characterize a particular era or approach – such as Marcel Breuer’s Wassily chair of 1925, Eliot Noyes’ corporate identity work for IBM in the 1950s and Matthew Carter’s Verdana typeface, designed to be read on screen – are analysed in detail, while the text sets out the framework of ideas, intent and technology within which differing approaches to design have evolved.

From the cars we drive and the products we buy to the graphics that surround us, we are all consumers of design. Design: The Whole Story provides all the information needed to decode the material world.
