BCMI encapsulated many of the problems which the\u003cbr\u003e newly-founded Council of Industrial Design was to face over the following decades: the tensions between a state-funded body, with its metropolitan bias, and British manufacturing industry located in the industrial regions; persuading the public that \"good\" modern design had a key role in everyday life; and the manifestation of a particular set of social and cultural values in the selection of exhibits and the means of design propaganda. The book draws on the documentary sources in the Design Council Archive.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Bloomsbury Publishing PLC","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45083248590999,"sku":"9780718501419","price":15203.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9780718501419.webp?v=1767263745","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/design-and-cultural-politics-in-postwar-britain-the-britain-can-make-it-exhibition-of-1946-9780718501419","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
