内容简介：
The influence of Taiwan on contemporary design
is strong and growing. Focusing on the vibrant
and cutting-edge designs being created in Taiwan
today, curator Annie Ivanova offers here the first
comprehensive compendium of the elements and
influences of the growing Asian design aesthetic
emerging from Taiwan. Ivanova has chosen 88
objects that exemplify Taiwan’s design excellence,
in which centuries of craft traditions continue to
be practiced alongside the latest developments in
digital media.
Among the objects discussed are technological
innovations such as the smart scooter, digital
helmet, and re-engineered skateboard, in addition
to ecofurniture, Ming Dynasty-inspired objects, and
even a burial urn. Ivanova shows how Taiwanese
designers are finding inspiration in the vanishing
worlds of night markets and temples and how
classical elements from colonial architecture are
being reimagined for the home. Taiwan by Design
showcases the best in Taiwanese product design,
revealing that it is undoubtedly among the most
interesting and innovative work in international
design today.
