Description
Winner of the Alcuin Society Award for Excellence in Book Design in Canada.
Now available in paperback.
With a new introduction by renowned Canadian designer Karim Rashid.
The first major book of its kind, Design in Canada is a richly illustrated, fascinating portrait documenting more than fifty years of rich contemporary product design in this country. From the radical Project G stereo that every well-appointed, "bachelor pad" had to have, to the wedge-shaped Contempra phone that quickly convinced homeowners to replace their boring black telephones, Canadian design has entered our homes and shaped our lives. For the first time, we can look at these products through the eyes of the cutting edge designers who created them, and celebrate their achievements.
