review 1: Lenvanta questionamentos bons, mas o próprio autor acaba se perdendo e tirando conclusões um tanto dúbias. Faltou um exercício crítico mais consistente, apesar do livro ter uma proposta de ser uma leitura fácil, fica faltando uma base teórica mais forte para a forma como o autor aborda a linguagem das coisas.

Ada empat subjek yang ia ulas: Desain dan arketip-arketipnya, Luxury, Fashion, dan Seni -semua salin menjalin dalam evolusi bahasa benda yang membentuk cara pandang bahkan, menurut Sudjic, ikut membentuk corak industri dan peradaban kita saat ini. Kita pun ditantang untuk mempertanyakan ulang sikap kita terhadap benda-benda, terhadap "materialisme" -apakah ia sepenuhnya jahat, atau sekadar cara manusia, sang makhluk pragmatik sekaligus simbolik, untuk saling berhubungan? less
