The world of design and the design of the world?

What are the best books on the world history of design?

  • I want a perspective which covers the world history of design from all perspectives of design - fashion, interaction, product, graphic, architecture, interior etc. I am looking for book which talks about the design journey from designing of cave man's tools to the modern era we live in.

  • Answer:

    A small subset of design history, but a very good place to start: Braun.  The book is Braun- 50 Years of Design and Innovation http://amzn.to/e8lM95
