'Woman Made: Great Women Designers,' written by Jane Hall and published today by Phaidon with support from Kering, shines a spotlight on the pioneering—and oft overlooked—female makers of the 20th and early 21st centuries.
with support from Kering, shines a spotlight on the pioneering—and oft overlooked—female makers of the 20th and early 21st centuries. There’s Anni Albers, a Bauhaus textile artist , Jane Dillion, a former color consultant for’s Ettore Sottsass who embraced a newly-developed hue of hot pink in her 1960s creations, and Noémi Raymond, who helped define the Japanese modernist movement with her more than 300 projects in the country.
“I hope that readers are encouraged to think more expansively about both gender and design, questioning a received history that is shaped by a patriarchal culture, particularly in the West,” Jane Hall, the book’s author, tells. “I also hope that the book effectively draws attention to young designers who are fostering a contemporary approach to craft and materiality in parts of the world traditionally overlooked by design culture but where exciting things are happening.
