Summary This book "is the first book devoted exclusively to houseware design, the neglected child prodigy of industrial design. Houseware design has succeeded in bringing together two worlds usually seen as contradictory : art and mass production, beauty and commerce. This book devoted to some of the 3,000 industrial design objects in the collection put together in thirty years by Jean Bernard Hebey, wishes to do justuce to these everyday objects conceived for man but manufactured exclusively by machines. A true 'archaeologist of the modern', Jean Bernard Hebey has uncovered thousands of objects in Europe, particularly in France, Italy and Belgium, but above all in the United States." - book jacket.
