Designed to Sell: The Evolution of Modern Merchandising and Display de Alessandra Wood

Designed to Sell: The Evolution of Modern Merchandising and Display: Routledge Research in Interior Design

Autor Alessandra Wood
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 6 mar 2020

Designed to Sell presents an engaging account of mid-twentieth century department store design and display in America from the 1930s to the 1960s. It traces the development of post-war philosophies of retail design that embodied aesthetics and function and new modes of merchandise display, resulting in the emergence of a new type of industrial designer.

The evolution of aesthetics in department stores during this period reflected larger cultural shifts in consumer behaviour and lifestyle. Designed to Sell explores these changes using five key case studies and original archival sources to reveal the link between designers and consumption beyond the design of individual objects. It argues that design is not simply connected to retail consumption, but that it is capable of controlling how and where customers shop and what they are drawn to purchase.

This book contextualises this discussion and brings it up to date for students and scholars interested in design, retail and interior history.

Notă biografică

Alessandra Wood is a design historian with an eye towards the future. She received her PhD in History of American Civilization at the University of Delaware, her MA in History of Design and Decorative Arts from Parsons, The New School for Design, and her BA in History of Art from Johns Hopkins University. A lover of design history and theory, she is obsessed with applying that knowledge to understand what makes products beautiful, useful, and successful, and what inspires people to love those products. With expertise in scaling design processes, she has a refined eye for style, and strives to make art and design accessible to all. Her current role as Vice President of Style at Modsy has allowed her work on the compelling challenge of reimagining the way we design our homes. In her free time, Alessandra is an adjunct professor of design history and theory.
