The recent release of 'The 50 Greatest Designers' by Tom May addresses a gap in design literature by profiling 50 pivotal designers from diverse fields, beyond conventional Western norms. This richly illustrated coffee table book showcases figures from William Morris to Apple's Jon Ive, and importantly recognizes women's historically significant yet often unacknowledged contributions. It features both iconic and lesser-known designers, ensuring a comprehensive overview of those who have profoundly influenced our modern environment, making it an essential addition for design enthusiasts.
"Once I began my research, there were so many female names I couldn't leave out; despite being overlooked in their time, or hidden behind male pseudonyms."
"The book profiles 50 designers who have fundamentally shaped how we live, work, and interact with our environment, encompassing multiple disciplines."
