AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

The exceptionally beautifully designed publication "Airworld. Design and Architecture for Air Travel" was published in 2004 to accompany the fifth in a series of traveling exhibitions organized by the German Vitra Design Museum.

This copy is in good condition. Signs of aging are mainly visible on the front cover, in the form of unavoidable discoloration of the white plastic relief.

Over the past century, no mode of transportation has evolved and transformed as profoundly as the airplane. Since the first regular airline flights in 1919, flying has transformed from the adventurous, exclusive pleasure of a select few into a mass phenomenon.
Civil aviation has not only created its own technical standards but also developed its own aesthetics: in aircraft design, cabin interiors, airport architecture, airline corporate design, flight attendant uniforms, and tableware.
With many illustrations and archive material, this book is dedicated to this 'sky world' and the designers, architects, graphic artists and fashion designers who created it.
Nine essays explore the history of air travel from the perspective of design and architectural history, offering a unique resource for both those interested in design and those passionate about the history of aircraft and air travel.
