Summary
Color has the power to transform our relationship to an object. The last hundred years have yielded a wealth of new designs celebrating color, and new technologies to make them possible. At once curated anthology and chronological short-form history, A Century of Color in Design spotlights 250 iconic pieces spanning furniture, fabric, lighting, and decorative objects--from the Bauhaus F51 armchair to the 3D-printed Chubby teapot--that exemplify color's ever-evolving role in the modern era of design. From back cover.
