Happy Design Families from the wonderful Éditions deux-cent-cinq, offers an opportunity to familiarise yourself with, learn about, and understand design, its various applications, and the place it occupies in everyday life. And it does all this in the guise of the classic happy families card game.
Through a selection of objects (grouped in categories such as biomorphic, popular, useful, engaged, iconic, etc.), the game displays a panorama of design. The cards give an overview of successive movements in design – from its beginnings to the present day – and presents the conceptual approaches that define these objects and designers, from Tupperware, Nokia 5100, and the Bic Cristal pen to Michael Thonet, Ettore Sottsass, and Arne Jacobsen.
The deck features ten illustrated families, including one large family, one superfamily, and one joker, all illustrated beautifully by Simon Bailey.
