Office (the hidden lives of ordinary things)
Sheila Liming
Object Lessons is a series of short, beautifully designed books about the hidden lives of ordinary things.
From its origins in the late 19th century to its decline in the 21st, Sheila Liming’s Office narrates a cultural history of a place that has, arguably, been the primary site of labor in the postmodern economy.
During the post-war decades of the 20th century, the office rose to prominence in culture, achieving an iconic status that is reflected in television, film, literature, and throughout the history of advertising. Most people are well versed in the clichés of office culture, despite evidence that an increasing number of us no longer work in offices.
