Review Quote "This overview of more than a century of German design makes two special contributions: first, its broad survey allows one to understand the relation between early design movements and later design culture; second, it pays particular attention to both National Socialist and East German contributions to design. As a result, this book, more than any source outside academic specialist literature, brings the complexity of German developments to the public. In particular,Designing Germanyshould be required reading for all professors teaching history of design courses. . . .
