THE COI COLLECTION VOLUME TWO
DESlGN FOR TODAY
Established in 1946, the Central Office of lnformation (COI) was a successor to the wartime Ministry of Information and was responsibIe for producing thousands of fiIms which ceIebrated Britain, its peopIe and their achievements.
This second volume in the COI CoIlection surveys the subjects of architecture, design and fashion. HighIights incIude: Designing Women (1948), where Joyce GreenfeII 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 Festival of Britain; Design for Today (1965), Hugh Hudson's day-in-the-life of British design: Insight: Terence Conran (1981) and lnsight: Zanrda Rhodes (1981), in which Peter Greenaway and Michael Nyman team up in two early coIlaborations; and The Pacemakers: Biba (1970), a Iook at the work of Barbara HuIanicki.
This voIume aIso boasts two newIy 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 stiII retaining some original features. An accompanying booklet provides authoritative notes, aIong with Hugh Hudson's recoIlections of making Design for Today.
