Sinopsis
Excerpt from The Design Collection: Selected Objects
The archeologists would probably also observe that object-using humans had group preoccupations. One group was concerned first of all with the manner in which separate parts are joined together. For such people a design must have been valuable according to the number of opportunities it afforded to connect different parts, preferably made of different materials. A second group evidently valued objects of minimal incident: few parts, no joints, and if possible no clue as to what purpose the object might have served.

Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book is an insightful exploration of the intimate relationship between humans and the objects they create, tracing the evolution of design from its functional origins to its status as a reflection of cultural preoccupations. The author delves into the psychological underpinnings of our connection to objects, revealing how they signify our values, aspirations, and even anxieties. The book discusses the tension between utilitarian design and the pursuit of aesthetic appeal, as well as the role of technology in shaping our interactions with objects. It also examines the concept of "planned obsolescence," and the cultural impact of our increasing consumption of disposable goods.
