As a design student, it is very important for me to have an understanding of design history. Heller, being one of the most prominent design writers, has produced many of my favorite books. Thia book not only discusses a period in design history, but is itself designed well. This book covers a fascinating period in Dutch design, and includes many beautiful color images. I have often recommended this book, as well as many others by Heller, to friends, who are also designers. If you find this book enjoyable, I would also recommend similar books by Heller, which cover nearly the same period in other countries. Try out German Modern and French Modern perhaps.
