Product Description
Sunday Telegraph, 8 October 2006
"Marcus Fairs knows a thing or two about design"

Book Description
This beautiful book is an exuberant manifesto defining the
design zeitgeist at the start of the twenty-first century, charting the
bewildering array of new movements and styles that have erupted over the
last few years.

It essentially sets the scene for a dramatic transformation in the way
design is perceived that will influence the objects and buildings that
surround us for years to come.

Lavishly illustrated with full-colour photographs, it presents over 200 of
the most important designs from the fields of architecture, interiors,
furniture, lighting, homeware, products, clothing and accessories, visual
communication and urban and landscape.

Each entry comes with an in-depth text explaining its significance and
giving details of the designer, concept, manufacturing method and
materials, as well as explaining how the building or design fits into the
contemporary design landscape. Every chapter is prefaced by an essay
setting out the key movements, designers and influences that are shaping
design in that particular sector.

Many of the objects and designers presented will be familiar to people with
an interest in design but there are also many surprises. International
figures such as Zaha Hadid, Marcel Wanders, Norman Foster, Tom Dixon and
Jasper Morrison are represented but so are up-and-coming talents including
Joris Laarman, Ora Ito, Maarten Baas and Ineke Hans.

The book is extremely accessible, demystifying design and explaining the
subject in layman's terms while covering trends such as iconic
architecture, the return to decoration, the crafts renaissance and rapid
prototyping.

The book, written by Marcus Fairs, features an exclusive foreword written
by leading international designer Marcel Wanders.
