Phaidon Design Classics

Looks like an amazing three volume set: “Industrially manufactured objects of aesthetic value and timeless quality: 1) Definitive models of lasting influence and enduring significance; 2) Objects that are innovative in their use of new materials and unite technological advances with beautiful design; 3) Objects characterized by simplicity, balance and purity of form; 4) Objects that are perfect in their design and have remained unchanged since their creation.” (Thanks Coudal Partners!)
