Design of the 20th Century

The book Design of the 20th Century by Charlotte & Peter Fiell is a lavish and comprehensive survey of modern design, spanning architecture, furniture, graphics and product design over 768 pages. It presents a broad A‑Z catalogue of designers and movements—from Art Deco through Pop to High‑Tech—each illustrated with rich photography and sharp commentary. The large‑format layout acts as a visual journey, with each spread offering clarity of form, material and context. Designed for both professionals and design enthusiasts, the book blends reference depth with coffee‑table appeal. It explores how everyday environments became canvases of innovation, showing how shape, colour and function evolved over time. With meticulous production quality—bold visuals, clean typography and strong paper stock—it echoes the design principles it documents. Whether on your study shelf or displayed proudly in your living space, it signals respect for craft, history and design culture. More than a chronicle, this volume becomes an artifact of design itself: beautifully made, broadly informed, and enduring in its relevance.

VARUD means danger zone in Iceland 🇮🇸. This website is my personal version of that zone - filled with design, minimalism, and everything dangerously aesthetic. My wishlist keeps getting longer (and pricier) every day. So I turned temptation into curation — a space to admire without always buying.
