Editor Ingo Maurer has got some big names on board; the Yearbook features essays by Philippe Starck, Ron Arad, Mario Bellini and Jasper Morrison (who edited last year's edition). He's also chosen to showcase some terrific product design: Marc Newson's utterly adorable 21C concept car for Ford Motor Company; Jonathan Ive's iBook for Apple; and Tangerine's Video Webphone for Chaplet Systems Inc.
Examining the electronic without considering its context gives you less than the big picture; the iMac, for example, has begun a revolution in product design that has made waves throughout the design community. Chairs and carpets and flatware may not be digital, or even produced using digital technologies, but you can't explore design in a vacuum (unless it's a Dyson)--and even a chair has a user interface. So loiter suggestively, revel, wallow, even, in the soft furnishings section of the book. --Liz Bailey
