Phaidon Design Classics
27 June 2006
You might have noticed the recent arrival of a minor publishing phenomenon: the weighty three tomes of Phaidon Design Classics that lists “The 999 ultimate design classics”.
Terence Conran said “A remarkable publishing achievement. These three volumes are encyclopaedic in their scale and thoroughness; they are really a two-dimensional design museum between cardboard covers. Every design office and design student will want to have them, but check the sturdiness of your shelves first – these books are very big, very yellow and very heavy.”
As the 606 Universal Shelving System appears at number 559, and Dieter Rams has five other entries, we demonstrated the sturdiness of our shelves at 72 Wigmore Street.
