Catalog of the exhibition held at the the Vitra Design Museum July 10, 1995-Jan. 21, 1996, and then on tour in Europe, Israel, Japan and the U.S., 1996-2000. Includes numerous documents. Contains biographies of each designer, extensive bibliographic information, and a history of the Vitra Design Museum.

Many objects are beautiful; and many creations are functional. But only few achieve enduring status. The "Design Classics" series presents such select products that have set standards in form, function and brand communication. Each monograph is a richly illustrated essay and product portrait, from conception to production, from prototype to collectors' item.
