Original artwork description:
If you Google 'design classic' (DC) you will find every Tom, Dick, and Billy-Bookcase designer breaking surface to plug their own half-baked product, but Google on and it soon becomes clear that Mies van der Rohe's Barcelona Chair (1929), George Carwardine's Anglepoise Lamp (1932), Harry Beck's London Underground Map (1931) and Bela Barenyi's VW Beetle car (1938) take the DC biscuit. The essence of these iconic products is their aesthetic simplicity. Their form and function remain timeless. The 1930s was clearly DC Decade. In 1939 Hungarian chemist Rott Andor invented direct positive photography and this was the technology which American scientist Edwin Land used to develop the somewhat overlooked DC - the first Polaroid camera (The Land Camera,1948). The Polaroid camera is a camera, plus dark room, no bigger than a camera. It is clear that this funky, retro MTV tie-in version of the Polaroid camera will, over the next 100 years, slowly develop into a design classic.
