Taking 50 of each of these objects, this book follows the furniture maker from original brief through to finished object with photographs and diagrams illustrating the design and construction process all the way. Visually stunning, with examples of work from all over the world, this book is inspirational yet technical. A veritable tome, this book will become essential to all designers' reference libraries.
