Design expert and acclaimed blogger Olivier Dupon has sourced the cream of the contemporary design world from all over Europe, Australia and the United States, profiling 75 artisans who use craft techniques, rather than mass-production methods, to create stylish, whimsical, covetable objects. Hundreds of colour photographs feature a huge variety of crafts, including art, ceramics, furniture, glasswork, jewelry, lighting, metalwork, papercraft, textiles and woodwork. Complete with a directory of products, and Dupons personal recommendations for inspiring shops and websites to visit, this is the perfect resource for discovering unique and beautiful objects made by new, talented artisans from all around the world.

This is a very beautiful book; its beautiful cover design is indicative of the quality of the design throughout the book. There is enough information to introduce each artist and copious beautiful photographs to make this book fit into a range of categories from being a beautiful coffee table book to admire photographs in to a resource of global makers with website details so you can follow up on artists that you want to further research. I find myself reaching for this book regularly when I'm between projects looking for something that will spark a visual cue to begin my next project. It feels like going to a bienniale without leaving your sofa. I bought it as a Christmas present last year and kept it myself!
