Description
The speed at which technology is currently advancing has made the creation of electronic products one of the most prolific aspects of contemporary design. Product styling, too, has become increasingly innovative. This book brings together approximately 100 examples of the latest, most sophisticated electronic devices, including personal/domestic applicances, home/office products, televisions, sound equipment and the latest in wearable technology. The products, including a few concept models, are drawn from manufacturers and designers internationally, and are discussed and illustrated with colour photographs and annotated drawings which explain their workings.
