(Preface) 'Hedda Beese, joint Managing Director of Moggridge Associates, a leading British product design consultancy, writes about design as'... the touch of the unexpected, the cunningly simple, the not obvious and yet not contrived, the lastingly stimulating, delightful and sensuous, the sophisticated attention to detail, the highest quality of thought - ultimately reflecting care about people rather than objects.'
The presence of women in the design profession over the last ten years has now become much more apparent at all levels and in all disciplines. Women in Design is a celebration of that change, and illustrates the variety of ways in which women are contributing to the contemporary design scene, whether working in a team, in partnership with other men or women, or solo.
This book highlights the work of 43 designers from Great Britain, the USA, Italy, Holland, India and Japan, and spans a broad range of disciplines, particularly those not traditionally associated with women. The design areas covered include graphic design, product design, furniture design, television and film, animation, interior design and architecture.
The contributors are a mixed collection of both young and old . . . both classic and controversial. Many are internationally known; a few relatively unknown. But all are producing innovative work, or making an impact on the profession, whether through education or practice or both. Each designer is represented by a visual display of work and a biographical statement. In many cases, the designers themselves speak about their work, influences, attitudes and concerns, and the way they integrate into what was, until recently, a male dominated field of endeavour.
Women in Design is a far-ranging illustrated collection of work by contemporary women designers. It will excite and interest the general reader, the student and professional designer alike ... indeed, everyone interested in designing for the future.'
