Ekuan reads the Japanese lunchbox as both object and metaphor. It is one of this book's many charms that he is able to see it as both simultaneously. He compares the visual pleasures of the Zen lunchbox to an aerial view of the Japanese archipelago; he invites us to savor its quadripartite structure as we savour the four seasons.

Summary:
"Design Culture Now" is the first survey of American design to cut across the disciplines of architecture, product design, and graphic design. This comprehensive work, organized by the Smithsonian's National Design Museum, catalogues the best in architecture, interiors, environments, landscapes, products, furniture, fashion, objects, typefaces, posters, publications, film graphics, and interactive media produced over the last three years. Organized around a series of themes -- Branded, Fluid, Local, Minimal, Narrative, Physical, Reclaimed, and Unbelievable -- "Design Culture Now" presents current projects by up-and-coming designers who are forging new ideas at the margins of the profession as well as established masters whose work continues to evolve. Some of the over 80 individuals and firms whose work is repre-sented include Kyle Cooper, who created the titles for the films "Seven", "The Mummy", and "Mission: Impossible"; graphic designers Bruce Mau and Stefan Sagmeister; Jonathan Ive, designer of the iMac; style guru Martha Stewart; Arlen and Cory Ness, customizers of Harley-Davidson motorcycles; Julie Taymor, director and designer of the Broadway musical "The Lion King"; architects Neil Denari and Frank Gehry; Dante Ferretti, art director of the films Kundun and Casino; fashion designers Kate Spade and Geoffrey Beene; and John Kricfalusi, creator of the cartoon "Ren & Stimpy". Authoritative essays by Donald Albrecht, Ellen Lupton, and Steven Skov Holt describe the state of design at the beginning of the new millennium. Vibrantly designed, this exhaustive survey includes hundreds of full-colour images.

Summary:
"The Origin of Things" is an international survey of the history of design from William Morris to Rem Koolhaas. Giving examples of around thirty case studies, it illuminates the process through which designers transform their often-groundbreaking ideas into products. In the context of this book, drawings, cardboard models stuck together with tape and ultramodern computer animations are more significant than the finished products. The more historical examples are by Theodor Bogler, H.P. Berlage, Frank Lloyd Wright and Gerrit Rietveld. Dutch design is represented by Wim Gilles, Kho Liang Ie, Aart Roelandt, Hella Jongerius, Marcel Wanders and Dick van Hoff. There are international highlights from the oeuvres of Richard Buckminster Fuller, Verner Panton, Poul Henningsen, Tapio Wirkkala, Mario Bellini, Michele de Lucchi, James Dyson, Jasper Morrison, Marc Newson and Konstantin Grcic.

Chairs, lightbulbs, cup holders, toothbrushes, doorknobs, light switches, potato peelers, paper bags, duct tape–as ubiquitous as these may be, they are still works in progress.

Summary:
A perceptive study of design in everyday life, while revealing the checkered pasts, and some possible futures, of familiar objects. Chairs, lightbulbs, cup holders, toothbrushes, doorknobs, light switches, potato peelers, paper bags, duct tape–as ubiquitous as these may be, they are still works in progress. The design of such ordinary items demonstrates the simple brilliance of human creativity, while at the same time showing the frustration of getting anything completely right. Nothing’s perfect, and so the quest for perfection continues to continue. In this book, Petroski presents the creative process by which common objects are invented and improved upon in pursuit of the ever-elusive perfect thing.
