For the bookshelf – Design Research
Comments Off
Before Habitat, Crate & Barrel and Ikea made good design accessible for all there was Design Research. A home store first established in 1953 in Cambridge, Massachusetts by Ben Thompson.
A new book is out (available from amazon uk and amazon.com) designed by Pentagram, the story of the book and some spreads are on the Pentagram website.
Also worth reading the background to the store from boston.com
A good introduction to Design Research is this video from The Boston Globe.
