Drawn from the Design Museum Collection and other important archives, this exhibition will also deconstruct the design histories of specific objects including the book – from Penguin’s pioneering 1930s paperbacks and Bruce Mau’s influential work for Zone Books during the late 1980s, to the exquisite boo More: Designing Modern Life : A History of Modern Design (1504) |
