"Patented" Book: Industrial Design History as Told Through 1,000 Influential Patents
"A field guide to more than a century of fascinating product and industrial design"
By Rain Noe - March 3
Designer, author and historian Thomas Rinaldi has compiled what looks to be a captivating book of 1,000 influential design patents. Called "Patented," the book is billed as "an unprecedented history, as well as an essential field guide, to more than a century of fascinating product and industrial design, told through 1,000 design patents."
As you'd expect, names like Raymond Loewy, Henry Dreyfuss and Harmut Esslinger appear; spotting their work will be part of the fun of leafing through the book. Here are some samples from a variety of sections:
Transportation
Office Products
Entertainment
Published by Phaidon, the $40 "Patented" is available for pre-order and will be released this spring.

I’m a lapsed industrial designer. I was born in NYC and figured I’d die there, but a few years ago I abandoned New York to live on a farm in the countryside with my wife. We have six dogs.

"Patented" Book: Industrial Design History as Told Through 1,000 Influential Patents
'Design Patent' - a term that can cause confusion amongst some. In the UK the term 'Trade Dress' is used instead.
