Many of the objects which we regularly use are mass-produced. With the aid of helpful little devices -- accomplices -- these products are made perfect. The editors have selected in this book accomplices from supermarket shelves, catalogue houses and flea-markets. Authors from the field of design theory, designers, manufacturers as well as users illuminate the world of products accomplices. In the accompanying booklet the editors have developed their own devices which enhance the daily use of the "modern classics" e. g. the spray protector "Salif Aid" for Philippe Starck's Lemon Press.
