A grumpy guide to design. Nowadays everything from your cork-screw to your coffee-pot via your handbag and pied-a-terre has to be "designer". It's the law.
Further details
Design. What is that all about? Time was when you bought your T-shirt from Marks and your table from Habitat and that was about it. Nowadays everything from your cork-screw to your coffee-pot via your handbag and pied-a-terre has to be "designer". It's the law. Result - designers and all things designer have taken over the world and if you don't know your Philippe Starck's from your post modernism this is the programme for you. Alternatively, after seeing this you might simply enjoy sneering at all those posh twits all the more.
