Günter Kupetz - Industrial Design (Bilingual Edition: German and English)

The career of Günter Kupetz reflects the heydey of German design in the 1950s and 1960s. Kupetz designed over a thousand products, including metal ware, glass, jewelry, packaging, furniture, and machines. This first comprehensive survey presents Kupetz's work in context and demonstrates how he understood the design of anonymous, mass-produced items as a social task that demanded the maximum possible quality. Günter Kupetz is an essential examination of a pioneering figure in German postwar design.
