What do Bic pens, Zippo lighters, Barbie dolls, and compact discs have in common? They're everywhere, including between the covers of this stunning collection of design objects, such as furniture, appliances, cars, and toys, which have transcended their everyday utility to achieve iconic status over the course of the twentieth century. Each item is examined in colorful two-page spreads, which include illustrations of its use, a brief biography of the designer, and other fascinating sidebar information illuminating our contemporary design culture. In addition, an introductory essay explains how an object becomes an icon and outlines the method the editors--a collection of internationally renowned design historians--used to select their subjects. Filled with photographs, this beautifully produced flexi-cover volume offers new ways to see and appreciate the things we use everyday.


Les Must de Cartier by Assouline, ISBN 2843234212

Between the gold-embossed pages of this decadent and amusing volume, you'll find the wall-to-wall monogrammed carpeting, lacquered furniture, tinted glass, panther draperies and mirrors reflecting the faces of celebrities that represented the era of the 1970s and 1980s at the height of its glory. Nineteen sixty eight. The year all certainties were shattered, it was in good taste to burn what one loved and to trample underfoot the values of yesterday. If, in this new world of dissent, luxury was no longer appropriate, the taste for beauty didn't completely disappear. No, luxury was not dead! It simply needed to be reinvented. In the midst of this new counterculture, which burned all belongings and lived according to the flames of passion, Cartier enflamed hearts and luxury markets by creating a lighter that landed with the impact of a bomb--"Les Must" de Cartier saw the light of day. Existing somewhere between tradition and modernity, Cartier's lighters, pens, watches, glasses, jewelry,... Les Must de Cartier by Assouline, ISBN 2843234212
