Design classics manifest the essence of their time, they stand for styledefining elements, innovative use of materials, and high standards of aesthetics and function. They accompany our everyday life over generations. Initiated in 1997 by Volker Fischer, the form Design Classics Series has portrayed many icons of design history. Today, the publications in design theory and history are being continued with a new design concept as corporate publications by Verlag form, Frankfurt/Main, published by the interior expert Barbara Glasner.
