Future Present: Millennium Products from the Design Council

This volume documents a selection of items from the Millennium Products’ chosen by the UK’s Design Council as a showcase of ground-breaking work by Britain’s leading designers, inventors, manufacturers and retailers. These products exemplify fantastical, futuristic or radically simple solutions to age-old problems and everyday needs. The book fuses visual documentation of the development and practice of these award-winning ideas with in-depth interviews and comments from the inventors, designers, manufacturers and, crucially, the end-users themselves
