Culture - Design
Design, in particular industrial design, is a largely 20th-century phenomenon. The first industrial designer is often considered to be German architect Peter Behrens, who was heavily influenced by the 19th-century English designer and poet William Morris and by the Arts and Crafts movement. German designers are still setting standards for innovation in the field of industrial design.
