Modern Design Deck

For the trained design eye, there are certain objects – such as the Eames Lounge and the Aalto Vase – that are instantly recognisable. For others, the task is not so simple. Fortunately for those who are looking to hone their eye, illustrator Jen Renninger has created the Modern Design Deck – a set of flashcards featuring retro illustrations of the 20th century’s most recognisable works. Spend a few hours flipping through the 30 cards and you’ll be able to tell your Bertoia from your Breuer in no time. Plus, the set comes with a booklet discussing each of the designs, which are also available in individual prints.
