If you are interested in the history of plastic design, you'll want to pick up a copy of the newly-published Plastic Dreams: Synthetic Visions in Design by Charlotte and Peter Fiell.
From the creators of the excellent Scandinavian Design, Plastic Dreams celebrates plastic as a material, showing some of its finest works – from Bakelite in the 1920s to the icons of the modern era.
Indeed, there are over 120 landmark designs, from Wells Coates iconic AD 65 radio to the Ericofon and Konstanin Grcic's MYTO stacking chair, if it made its mark in plastic, it's probably in here, along with the essays on the history of plastics and its role in industrial design.
Available to buy now, this 288-page book retails for £23.70.
