Review: "China Design Now is a highly topical look at the development of a vibrant Chinese design culture within the context of China's recent history of industrialisation, consumer revolution and rapid urbanisation. Focusing on China's hopes and dreams - from the entrepreneurial spirit of individual designers, to society's aspirations at a moment of tremendous change, to the global ambitions of a nation - China Design Now explores how China's new design culture began, what its driving forces are, and how it is developing."--Jacket.
