Description
"Tells the story of one of New Zealand’s most influential industrial designers. Spanning five decades, Design Generation documents the development of Haythornthwaite’s career as a designer through his education, employment and private practice, and his notable contribution to the wider field of design as an industry leader. Vivid case studies of Haythornthwaite’s work illustrate the extraordinary breadth of design projects he developed, many of which will be familiar for the reader. Published as part of Objectspace’s Masters of Craft series, written by design historian Michael Smythe with an accompanying essay and interview by Michael Barrett, Design Generation describes Haythornthwaite’s significant and enduring impact on the field of design. This history charts the development and maturation of industrial design as a discipline in New Zealand along with the increasingly globalised forces that have influenced the way things are designed, produced and consumed in this part of the world" - publisher information.
