Jane HallDesign au féminin - 100 ans 200 designeuses

Design au féminin presents the extraordinary work of more than 200 women designers, both icons of design and unsung personalities, from over 50 countries, spanning the period from the early 20th century to the present day. This book highlights the contribution of women to the history of design, while revealing that many have been ignored and denied access to higher education or entry into professional associations. Despite this, they have created some of the most recognisable and essential furniture, lighting, textiles, ceramics and household items of the last hundred years. Organised alphabetically, the book presents each designer with an illustration of one of her iconic designs, accompanied by a short biography revealing the fascinating but often overlooked story of a talented woman. As never before, Design au féminin celebrates female boldness and creativity.
