Objects of Desire- Design and Society Since 1750 |

FORTY, Adrian |
| DESCRIPTION |
|
In this radical and highly original examination of design and its place in society, Adrian Forty challenges premises that have usually passed unquestioned. He argues that design is used by societies to express their values. Its norms are shaped by economic and social conditions; it can confirm a role or status or be manipulated to overcome resistance to innovations that seem threatening. Objects of Desire looks at the appearance of consumer goods in the 200 years since the introduction of mechanized production. |
