Sagmeister & Walsh: Beauty by Jessica Walsh, Stefan Sagmeister

4.0

We live in an era where modernism still forms the mental model of how we think about design. This book refreshingly and convincingly challenges modern ideals of the role of beauty and design. I only wish it went into greater depth on the subject.

I loved this quote: “For a designer, getting things to work is the easy part. It’s not hard to design a chair someone can sit on; it doesn’t take genius to combine a seat with a backrest and four legs. It does, however, take real talent to produce a chair that’s comfortable, attractive, and relevant to its time.”
