One of the first books to offer a critical assessment of American design in the last part of the 20th century, US Design accompanies a major exhibition that will travel the United States. Focusing on three generations of American designers and the movements they have embraced and reinvented, this exciting volume shows how - from unique art pieces to the museums that house them, book jackets to film titles, in-line skates to laptop computers - nearly every aspect of life during the last quarter century has been infused with the genius and creativity of its designers.
