Aladár Németh (1931-2002) was a defining personality of Hungarian design. He was a successful and acclaimed designer, the activist of the association of fine artists and ICSID, teacher of the College of Applied Arts. The monograph written by József Vadas concentrates mainly on his creative work, in which not only the different vehicles (tractors, dump trucks, ships), but also lab equipment and electronic devises played an important role. A career reporting about the rugged times of Hungarian design is analysed by placing it in the period's economic and intellectual environment and presented through spectacular pictures.
