5.0 out of 5 stars Great Images, 25 Nov 2002

By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com

This review is from: Skin: Surface, Substance, and Design (Hardcover)

This book has exellent images but it lacks text, "A picture is worth a thousand words" as they say. Although there is lack of text I think there's just enough to give you an idea of what the products are, who the designers and manufacturers are too. So the book acts almost as a catalog. All in all I think it's a great book, it's enjoyable to flip through or it could take you an hour looking at just one product. Oh and just incase you don't know what the book is about it displays different "Skin" conditions (that is different surface materials either conventional or inovative used on a wide range of products including chairs and clothes)
ENJOY :-)

By A. Metral "Alex" - Published on Amazon.com

This review is from: Skin: Surface, Substance, and Design (Hardcover)

a little on the ind. design side of things, but a wonderful visceral survey of surface distinction.
