THE COl COLLECTlON VOLUME TWO
DESIGN FOR TODAY
EstabIished in 1946, the CentraI Office of Information (COl) was a successor to the wartime Ministry of lnformation and was responsibIe for producing thousands of films which celebrated Britain, its people and their achievements.
This second voIume in the COI ColIection surveys the subjects of architecture, design and fashion. Highlights incIude: 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 Festival of Britain; Design for Today (1965), Hugh Hudson's day-in-the-Iife of British design: lnsight: Terence Conran (1981) and lnsight: Zanrda Rhodes (1981), in which Peter Greenaway and Michael Nyman team up in two early coIIaborations; 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 original features. An accompanying booklet provides authoritative notes, along with Hugh Hudson's recoIlections of making Design for Today.
