5.0 out of 5 stars I love these diaries, 5 Dec 2008
By Ms. C. E. Humphries "CH" (UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Really great to use, very sturdy, loads of room to write and you get to look at inspiring / interesting artwork every week. I bought my first one at Tate Modern 3 years ago and won't buy any other diary now.

5.0 out of 5 stars Lots of stuff to look at, 13 Feb 2009
By Parka (Singapore) - See all my reviews
Length:: 0:29 Mins

This book is a showcase of great product designs from over 90 designers all over the world. They include individuals as well as big name companies. The book is written in English, German and French.

Each designer has a short writeup into his/her design inspiration and philosophy. They also talk about the challenges they face. For example, James Dyson had over 5000 prototypes before perfecting the vacuum cleaner. There's also a short biography, exhibitions, awards and client list.

This is a great reference book for anyone looking for inspiration or who wants to look at beautifully designed products.
