Design history. Design history is the study of objects of design in their historical and stylistic contexts. With a broad definition, the contexts of design history include the social, the cultural, the economic, the political, the technical and the aesthetic. Design history has as its objects of study all designed objects including those of fashion, crafts, interiors, textiles, graphic design, industrial design and product design. Design history has had to incorporate criticism of the 'heroic' structure of its discipline, in response to the establishment of material culture, much as art history has had to respond to visual culture, (although visual culture has been able to broaden the subject area of art history through the incorporation of the televisual, film and new media).

Design history has done this by shifting its focus towards the acts of production and consumption. Design history as a component of British practice-based courses[edit] See also[edit] Design History Society References[edit] Home : Design Is History.
