THE COl COLLECTlON VOLUME TWO
DESlGN FOR TODAY
EstabIished in 1946, the CentraI Office of lnformation (COI) was a successor to the wartime Ministry of Information and was responsible for producing thousands of films which ceIebrated Britain, its peopIe and their achievements.
This second volume in the COl CoIlection surveys the subjects of architecture, design and fashion. HighIights include: Designing Women (1948), where Joyce Greenfell takes us through the dos and don'ts of home furnishings; Brief City (1952), where we see modernist architecture and design on show at the FestivaI of Britain; Design for Today (1965), Hugh Hudson's day-in-the-Iife of British design: lnsight: Terence Conran (1981) and Insight: Zanrda Rhodes (1981), in which Peter Greenaway and MichaeI Nyman team up in two early coIlaborations; and The Pacemakers: Biba (1970), a Iook at the work of Barbara HuIanicki.
This voIume also boasts two newly commissioned scores by electronic pop band Saint Etienne. They give Designed in Britain (1959) and Design for Today (1965) a contemporary music make-over, whiIst stiIl retaining some originaI features. An accompanying bookIet provides authoritative notes, along with Hugh Hudson's recolIections of making Design for Today.
