The fascinating world of product design that emerged between the 1970s and 1990s symbolized the birth of a new age and human behavior. From coffee grinders to fondue sets to hairdryers, each home appliance was intended to help in the daily household routines--but they were also masterpieces of style. Jaro Gielens's personal collection is one of the world's largest selections of artifacts that pay homage to this iconic era of design.

Soft Electronics explores a nostalgic and unique set of products from a very distinct time for design. Each object possesses a sense of longevity, quality, and innovation--one that has been hard to match since manufacturing was moved overseas and planned obsolescence redefined our relationship with electronic goods.

20世纪70年代至90年代期间出现的迷人的产品设计世界，标志着一个新时代和人类行为的诞生。从咖啡研磨机到火锅套装，再到吹风机，每一种家用电器都是为了帮助日常的家庭生活，但同时它们也是风格的杰作。贾罗·吉伦斯（Jaro Gielens）的个人收藏是世界上**的文物之一，向这个标志性的设计时代致敬。

本书探索了一组设计时期的怀旧和独特产品。每件产品都非常耐用，高品质且富有创意。自从制造业转移到海外并计划淘汰后，我们与电子产品的关系被重新定义，就很难再有这样的产品了。
