The new Penguin on Design series looks smart and sounds promising. A great lineup of titles, including the reedition of Bruno Munari’s classic Design as Art in print. John Berger’s brilliant Ways of Seeing, which began as a TV show, is also included in the series. In addition to Penguin on Design, I’m also looking forward to Penguin’s edition of Deyan Sudjic’s new book The Language of Things, coming soon to the U.S. For two different perspectives on Sudjic’s book, these reviews from The Guardian (pro) and Frieze (con) are each worth a look.
