This is the definitive celebration of the work, life, and times of Sir Kenneth Grange (born 1929), one of the most innovative and revered industrial designers of the modern period and an enduring influence on todays younger creators, including Sir Jonathan Ive.

For decades, Kenneths iconic products-including the InterCity 125 train for British Rail, the TX1 London black taxi, domestic appliances for Kenwood, lighting for Anglepoise, cameras for Kodak, pens for Parker, and mail boxes for Royal Mail, among many others-have been at the center of tastemaking and key to the establishment of Britains worldwide postwar reputation as an influential hub of design excellence.
