A 'design classic' is an industrially manufactured object with timeless aesthetic value. It serves as a standard of its kind and, despite the year in which it was designed, is still up to date. The collection presented in these three volumes has been put together by a group of experts following the above criteria. The objects are presented chronologically, beginning with an elegant pair of Chinese bonsai scissors from the early 1800s, still in production today, and ending with Jasper Morrison's recent 'brunch set', which is destined to become a 'classic'. Glancing through the volumes, the reader will gain an understanding not only of the history of design, but a history of taste and culture. The book is an extraordinary journey through the objects that have shaped our society, from the first attempts to combine function and beauty in the nineteenth century, through the machine aesthetics of the thirties, the advent of plastic and other new materials in the fifties and sixties, up to the 'classics'-to-be of the last ten years.

El nacimiento la omnipresente fuente tipográfica. . Un celebrado impresor y diseñador tipográfico, Giambattista Bodoni estableció el estándar a la hora de imprimir el alfabeto, con su Manuale tipografico (1818). La edición en dos volúmenes publicada póstumamente en una tirada limitada de 250 ejemplares presenta 142 juegos de tipografías en redonda y cursiva, una amplia selección de filetes, ornamentos, símbolos y florituras, así como los alfabetos griego, hebreo, ruso, árabe, fenicio, armenio, copto y tibetano. Impresor oficial del Duque de Parma, Bodoni (1740-1813) declaró que la belleza de la tipografía bien diseñada deriva de cuatro principios: la uniformidad del diseño, la nitidez y la elegancia, el buen gusto y el encanto. Sus tipografías exhiben un grado sin precedentes de refinamiento técnico y personifican la pureza y la gracia. La culminación de más cuatro décadas de trabajo, el Manuale tipografico representa uno de los mayores logros tipográficos de la historia. La tipografía Bodoni todavía se utiliza ampliamente incluso hoy, tanto en los medios digitales como en los impresos, y la meticulosa reimpresión de TASCHEN de la obra maestra de Bodoni brinda a los lectores una oportunidad excepcional de explorar sus orígenes y aprender sobre su creador.
