Woman Made: Great Women Designers
Description
We're so used to hearing men's names in the design world that it's easy to forget that anyone else has ever picked up a drafting pencil. But as Woman Made: Great Women Designers ably demonstrates, the impact women have had on the modern design has gone unappreciated for too long.
Turning the spotlight on more than 200 designers from more than 50 countries, this inspirational volume overturns the idea of design as a man's world with examples of each designer's work and a brief description of their impact. From Ray Eames (you know the Eames chair even if you don't know it by name) to contemporary interior designer Ilse Crawford to Irish architect Eileen Grey and literally dozens more, this collection is bound to challenge even the most design-savvy reader's preconceptions in the best way.
