Product details

The book "Figure and Ground" by Heinz Hirdina offers a comprehensive analysis of design history from its beginnings in the 19th century to the present day. Hirdina, a prominent design theorist from the former GDR, highlights the role of 15 international designers, including William Morris and Richard Buckminster Fuller, in this work. By examining their design approaches and the institutions they created, it becomes clear how these figures have shaped design. The publication is the result of a collaboration between Spector Books and the Bauhaus Dessau Foundation and fills a significant gap in German design literature. With a hardcover and 256 pages, the book provides a well-researched and engaging read for anyone interested in design history.
