Nice women never wore makeup. Even the word was taboo in polite society—until Max Factor entered the scene. Born in Poland in 1877, Factor worked as a beautician for the Russian royal family, the Romanovs. In 1904, he fled to America, where he opened a cosmetics store in Los Angeles. Creating makeup originally for silent films, then the talkies, and, ultimately, color motion pictures, Factor designed looks for Katharine Hepburn, Rita Hayworth, Bette Davis, and countless other beauties of the day. Soon women everywhere wanted to look like their favorite glamorous stars, and Factor was there to help, bringing his innovative cosmetics to the general public.

Al di là di sedie, lampade o automobili, che hanno a lungo identificato il loro campo di intervento, oggi i designer progettano anche sistemi e servizi, dall'interfaccia del bancomat al car o bike sharing. Nuove tecnologie, nuovi modi di produzione, come la digital fabrication, consumatori sempre più evoluti, attenti ai valori della sostenibilità e della facilità d'uso dei prodotti, obbligano il design a confrontarsi con le possibilità inedite offerte dai fenomeni culturali e socio-economici dell'età contemporanea.
