Reseña del editor:

Houseware design has succeeded in bringing together two worlds usually seen as contradictory: art and mass production. The mass-produced objects - sleek and anonymously uniform - have left their mark on their age through the technology applied, the materials used, the forms invented as well as their practicality, whether real or apparent. Household objects are true reflections of the period in which they were conceived, created, manufactured, promoted and sold to the masses. Omnipresent, practical and often inexpensive, such objects have become commonplace, worthless to our jaded consumers' eyes; they have become "invisible". This book wishes to render justice to these everyday objects conceived by and for man but manufactured exclusively by machines. Jean Bernard Hebey has uncovered and collected thousands of household objects in France, Italy, Belgium, the United Kingdom and, above all, in the United States. This book presents a selection of 370 objects through the pictures of Christophe Fillioux that are designed to make the reader view them in a different way. From ice crushers to vacuum cleaners, from hair dryers to fans, from toasters to irons, the entire universe of the houseware produced for the modern home is on display.
