Tag hinzufügen | Zusammenfassung: | This is the definitive celebration of the work, life, and times of Sir Kenneth Grange (born 1929), one of the most innovative and revered industrial designers of the modern period. The story is set in its social, political, and creative context, introducing the figures who have inspired, commissioned, and worked alongside Grange. For decades, Grange’s iconic products – including the InterCity 125 train for British Rail, the TX1 London black taxi, domestic appliances for Kenwood, lighting for Anglepoise, cameras for Kodak, pens for Parker and post boxes for Royal Mail, among many others – have been at the centre of tastemaking and key to the establishment of Britain’s worldwide post-war reputation as an influential hub of design excellence. |
