Every day we use dozens of small objects, from Q-tips to paper clips. If they work well, chances are we don't pay them much attention. Although modest in size and price, some of these objects are true masterpieces of the art of design. In this colorful visual feast, Paola Antonelli portrays 100 fabulous objects, from compact discs to Post-it notes. Short, informative descriptions accompany stunning photographs, detailing the little-known history of some of our favorite things. Did you know: That M&M's were used by soldiers going into battle who needed a quick pick-me-up (hence the durable candy shell that prevented melting)? That Salvador Dal? designed the famous daisy pattern on Chupa Chups lollipops? Humble Masterpieces helps us see everyday objects in an all-new, extraordinary way.
