Abstract

This reference book provides a review of domestic design around the world, featuring furniture, lighting, tableware, textiles and products created in the last 18 months. This year's selection was made by the Czechoslovakian architect and designer Borek Sipek, whose original furniture and glassware have received international acclaim. The book spans designers such as Phillipe Starck, Etorre Sottsass and Achille Castiglioni and that of lesser known designers and students. Commentaries by Rick Poyner, contributing editor to "Blueprint" magazine and editor of the graphics magazine "Eye", highlight new tendencies and focus on individual designers, providing a background to their latest work. Full technical data is given for each design and a reference section includes biographies of the designers, details of suppliers, a directory of design publications and an update of acquisitions by the contemporary design collections of major museums worldwide.
