B is for Bauhaus: An A-Z of the Modern World

Design is everywhere—even when we don't notice it.

In B Is for Bauhaus, Deyan Sudjic explores the hidden influence of design on our daily lives. From the chair you sit in to the smartphone in your pocket, he reveals how objects shape our identities, behaviors, and aspirations—and why good design is about far more than appearance.

Blending history, criticism, and personal observation, Sudjic makes complex ideas approachable, inviting readers to see the designed world with fresh eyes. Insightful, witty, and deeply engaging, it's an ideal introduction to the power of design and the stories embedded within the objects that surround us.

A compelling read for anyone curious about why things look—and work—the way they do.
