Design heavyweights Terence Conran and Stephen Bayley come together to beautifully package and present Design: Intelligence Made Visible, a knock-out 300-page encyclopaedia – from an opening pic of Johan Vaaler’s paper clip to a full page on Jonathan Ive’s iPod. The A-Z directory in the main section of the book catalogues materials, architects, artists, companies, designers, movements and concepts, as well as the evolving role of design from the 18th-century to the present day, all emphasised with beautifully lush colour photographs. One can leave and easily jump back in to contend with second and third rounds of informative essays on how design, its innovators and visionaries, have all made design intelligent and visible in our world today.
