Summary:

Christopher Dresser was a pioneer of modern design and arguably Europe's first industrial designer. He enthusiastically promoted machines and mass-production, and his prolific output embraced a wider range of styles and techniques in a variety of disciplines. With their bold shapes, angular geometry and rich colours, Dresser's designs have exercised a powerful influence on modern taste. Widar Halen's book is the first to be published on this major figure.
