Objects of Desire
looks at the appearance of consumer goods in the 200 years since the
introduction of mechanized production, whether in Josiah Wedgewood's use
of neo-classicism for his industrially manufactured pottery or the
development of appropriate forms for wirelesses. The argument is
illustrated with examples ranging from penknives to computers and from
sewing machines to railway carriages. In opening up new ways of appraising the man-made world around us, Objects of Desire is required reading for anyone who has any involvement with design and a revealing document about our society.
