book: hollington - industrial design
A description of the company Hollington Associates and the range of products that it has designed, from chess-playing computers to Miesian bus shelters in Milton Keynes. Included in that range are hi-fi systems for NAD and, particularly, office furniture systems. The book also includes the first publication of a revolutionary range for Hermann Miller, the American furniture manufacturer, whose unusual manner of working with designers is described in an essay contributed by Ralph Caplan, the company’s official historian. All the major work is catalogued and explained, with an introduction and an epilogue contributed by Hugh Aldersey-Wiliams. Book profiled Geof Hollington and his associates’ works. It also shows a glimpse how designers work, the learning curve, the frustrations & fulfillment, the inner workings of design & build, relationships with the furniture manufacturer employees. A good quick read.
