Mass Production

A 'design classic' is an industrially manufactured object with timeless aesthetic value. It serves as a standard of its kind. This collection of three volumes presents objects, beginning with an elegant pair of Chinese bonsai scissors from early 1800s, and ending with Jasper Morrison's 'brunch set', which is destined to become a 'classic'.
