100 Designs for a Modern World (Relié)

From colorful Bakelite radios to Thomas Heatherwick's Spun chair, George Kravis's collection shows a passionate interest in and eye for design that works. He sees beauty in the supposedly commonplace, ranging from fans and soda siphons to the beautiful glaze colors of Russel Wright pitchers, Alexander Girard's brightly colored textiles, and posters that celebrate the beauty of industrial design. To see his collection is to understand the links between industrial design and other design areas, and to sense the unity created by simplicity of form and line.
