Maybe they were part of your childhood or represent your ideal in design; certainly, they will evoke a sense of the familiar. Iconic Product Design is an engaging and accessible presentation of the history of product design, providing an extensive catalog of the most memorable product designs of the past 150 years. More than 130 remarkable product designs from all areas, including household appliances, everyday objects, furniture, entertainment technology and office equipment, are presented in this collection. Accompanying the images are well-researched and charming vignettes about each product, with amusing insights and fun tidbits of information about its time and place. Each one informs how design has been influenced by changes in technology, science, and society. While these products were considered innovative at their inception, all have withstood the test of time and many are still, remarkably, in use today. ​ Iconic Product Design is a comprehensive collection of iconic product design objects, chronologically organized from the beginning of the Industrial Revolution to the present. Each spread of this richly illustrated book showcases the author's representation of the chosen design, expressing its essence and capturing its spirit. In the introductory text, he shares his concept of the term iconicity to help the reader understand what makes these products stand out and why they are considered icons today. Review: A wonderful read - Everything around us is designed, one way or another. Whether a simple paperclip or a fancy computer, a pair of Louboutin shoes or a Prada bag. They are all designed, meaning that someone sat down and said to himself or herself, "let's make something useful or beautiful...". But some products stand out, either by their sheer iconic beauty, by their incredible usefulness, or because they touch the string of your heart, making them suddenly essential. Wolfgang Joenssen's has managed a tour de force in assembling some of the world's most desirable objects and explaining their origin, or the subtle thinking behind their creation. A great read, and certainly a book that belongs on the shelf of anyone who loves design and beautiful things. Thank you Review: disappointment - quality of pictures (simplified sketches of famous products) are more suitable for kids coloring book... ## Features - Item Trademark: SKYHORSE PUBLISHING - manufacturer: Skyhorse Publishing - Item Weight: pounds, pounds, 2.05, 2.05 ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #161,491 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #47 in Advertising Graphic Design #76 in Branding & Logo Design #218 in Industrial & Product Design | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 out of 5 stars 30 Reviews | ## Images ![Iconic Product Design: An Illustrated History of the World's Most Innovative Devices - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71Dg6SkxEfL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A wonderful read *by L***Y on 5 November 2020* Everything around us is designed, one way or another.

Thank you ### ⭐⭐ disappointment *by E***S on 23 November 2021* quality of pictures (simplified sketches of famous products) are more suitable for kids coloring book... ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A beautifully designed book about design *by R***S on 21 November 2020* This book is wonderful. Wolfgang Joensson has created a book which sums up quintessential product designs from around the world, from the 17th century to today. The layout and design of the book itself are beautifully done, with color-coded pages for each time period and superb graphic illustrations. It will be a reference for years to come, and I am thrilled to have it as part of my library. I highly recommend this masterpiece on design! --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.tn/products/387187976-iconic-product-design-an-illustrated-history-of-the-worlds-most](https://www.desertcart.tn/products/387187976-iconic-product-design-an-illustrated-history-of-the-worlds-most) --- *Product available on Desertcart Tunisia* *Store origin: TN* *Last updated: 2026-11-02*
