London's Design Museum Spotlights World-Changing Chairs, Cars, Dresses, Shoes

What do Konstantin Grcic‘s Chair One, the Model-T Ford, a candy-colored slipdress from Matthew Williamson‘s 1998 debut collection, and galoshes have in common? They all changed the world, according to a new series of books from London’s Design Museum. The four volumes highlight 50 chairs, cars, dresses, and shoes that have had a substantial impact on the design world, from the bentwood seating of Michael Thonet to the seamless, wave-patterned Lacoste boots designed by Zaha Hadid.
