Desthetica is a portmanteau of design and aesthetics and the stock consists of design reference works from all over the world with an emphasis on Scandinavian and Italian 20th century design and English interwar and post-war Design. Their primary use is the attribution of objects to designers and manufacturers. Customers are dealers, collectors, auction houses, museums and also contemporary designers. Between us we have a B.A. in the History of Art, Design and Film, an M.A. in Design History from the R.C.A/ Victoria and Albert Museum, a PhD on furniture design in progress plus an intimate knowledge of the auction house and antique trade.
