Phaidon Design Classics x Apple iPad

Phaidon’s famous three-volume Design Classics set contains the history of products that were designed from the beginning of the Industrial Revolution up until today. Now, the collection’s making its way over to the iPad, bringing along sketches, archival photos and a whole lot more.

The application offers, at the touch of a finger, access to an encyclopedic, illustrated history of 1,000 timeless design classics by not only renowned designers, such as Marcel Breuer, Achille Castiglioni, Le Corbusier, Jasper Morrison, Dieter Rams, Eero Saarinen, and Philippe Starck but also anonymously designed pieces, such as the clothes peg, the corkscrew, and the chopstick, that have stood the test of time.
