In 2007 Irma Boom’s book Sheila Hicks: Weaving as Metaphor was named ‘Most Beautiful Book in the World’ at the Leipzig book fair. This book became a bestseller, collector’s item and exposed the textile designer to new audiences around the world. People who were never interested in textile design or Sheila Hicks’s works wanted to own this beautiful object. The success of the book caused the Museum of Modern Art in New York to include Irma Boom’s books as part of their permanent collection.
