 A useful re-evaluation of the female body or a sexy makeover of female objectification?
In his latest book, Stephen Bayley, design guru, critic and founder of London’s Design Museum embarks on an unflinching exploration of the female body and its relationship to design. For him woman is a masterpiece; the perfect fusion of form and function. Feminine curves, proportions, fissures and orifices, Stephen insists, have inspired designers from architects to car-makers for centuries. So is this a useful re-evaluation of the female body or a sexy makeover of female objectification? Jenni is joined by Stephen Bayley and Vicky Richardson, the editor of the architecture and design magazine Blueprint, to discuss the arguments.
Woman as Design: Before, Behind, Between, Above Below by Stephen Bayley is published by Conran Octopus ISBN: 978-1840915327
