EIGHT DECADES OF BRITISH DESIGN (DESIGN COUNCIL) (HB)

For the past eight decades, British design has shaped how we live, work and express ourselves. From Margaret Calvert and Jock Kinneir’s road signage system to Vivienne Westwood’s punk revolution. At the heart of this evolution stands the Design Council, founded in 1944 to support Britain’s post-war industrial recovery. Today, it is the UK’s national champion for design – shaping policy, driving change and demonstrating how design can enrich everyday life. This book explores eight transformative decades of British design, revealing its profound impact on industry, culture and society.
