This book features a fascinating collection of some of the most innovative tables, chairs and lights ever designed, those that push the boundaries of imagination, art and design. This is indisputably a must for any designer interested in not only beautiful and often innovative design, but how such furniture is constructed.
Everyone is interested in design nowadays; figures like Philippe Starck are as venerated and well known as more traditional artists. But where the literature on fine art is vast, design is still conparatively ill-served. This encyclopaedia provides an account of the still largely unknown story of design.
