The Story of Design, written by Charlotte and Peter Fiell, is a new book that chronologises and contextualises the history of design. To give a taste of the book, below we publish its chapter that examines Japanese post-war design, a period in which Japan regenerated its industry following the Second World War.

Very nice summary. Duran's contribution to Japan's recovery after WWII was enormous - as was Deming's. Both prophets without honour (initially) in their own country...
