Design Burger Unveils The Product Design 100: A Tribute to Contemporary Industrial Design

In an effort to immortalize the essence of the design landscape, Design Burger has released its latest monograph, The Product Design 100. This publication, which coincides with the Shoreditch Design Week, aims to capture the current state of industrial design through a curated selection of 100 noteworthy projects.

Produced as the inaugural volume in what is anticipated to be a continuing series, the book showcases a diverse array of products and studios, reflecting a spectrum of contemporary industrial design. With 324 meticulously designed pages, The Product Design 100 serves as both a visual delight and an informative resource.

A Return to Physical Compendiums

As digital platforms increasingly dominate the design conversation, the need for tangible representations of creativity has grown. Design Burger, founded by industrial designers Alex Philpott, Oscar Pearce, Kester Page, and Joe Slatter in 2018, recognized this shift and sought to create a physical collection that resonates with both design enthusiasts and professionals alike. The monograph highlights a mix of established names and emerging talents, underscoring a commitment to celebrating quality and innovation in design.

Showcasing Trends and Influences

The book reflects key trends shaping the industry today, such as the rise of luxury craftsmanship, quirky single-use devices, and eco-conscious designs that challenge the status quo. It features insights into the work of prominent designers like Naoto Fukasawa and Marc Newson, alongside influential companies including Nike and Google. This curated selection not only showcases commercial successes but also acknowledges projects that may not have achieved mainstream success yet contribute meaningfully to design culture.

Despite the unpredictability of the market, The Product Design 100 remains a valuable snapshot of contemporary design, offering inspiration and aspiration in a fast-evolving visual landscape. The book is available for £48 at DesignBurgerShop.com.
