Discover the fascinating stories of trailblazing women product designers from 1900 through present days with Woman Made: Great Women Designers. Author Jane Hall will reveal the stories behind the designers, from lesser known figures – including a number of unsung members of the Wiener Werkstätte and the Bauhaus school – to icons and pioneers past and present, such as Ray Eames, Eileen Gray, Florence Knoll, Ilse Crawford, Faye Toogood and Nathalie Du Pasquier. These designers flourished, against the odds, to create some of the most important furniture, lighting, textile, ceramic and home-ware designs of the last century. This glorious visual celebration illuminates the fascinating and overlooked history of women preeminent in the field and flips the script on what is historically considered a man’s world.
