Product Description
Tord Boontje incorporates a romantic, artisanal sensibility to contemporary industrial and product design, drawing from a rich graphic tradition to create objects of exceptional beauty and delicacy. One of the most original and innovative product and furniture designers working today, Boontje is an artist and a craftsman, and in designs for Swarovski, Artecnica, and Moroso, his lamps, chairs, fabric designs, paper products, and art installations have vaulted him into the top ranks of contemporary design culture. Featured in headline exhibitions at the Milan Furniture Fair, the Victoria and Albert Musem and Art Basel: Miami, the unique paper creations and furniture developed by Boontje have become global objects of desire, spawning a cult following among collectors and design consumers. Lavishly illustrated with over 300 sketches, concept renderings, and photographs, the book is a comprehensive visual document of the designer's work and an art object in itself, featuring a number of custom printing effects-stencils, perforated and die-cut pages, and textured and woven details-that capture the intricacy of Boontje's approach to pattern-making.

Nothing new, but a quality book with plenty of details. June 28, 2007

As a big fan of Boontje from about five years ago, there was no doubt that I would purchase the book in a heartbeat if I saw it in the stands. If you've gone to his site more than once, have a passion for floral designs, hyper-graphics, or just loves the Garland Light, Midsummer Light, or other products of his, I am sure you'd enjoy this book. The fabric-mesh cover with half die-cut pages (of course, in a floral pattern), and full bleed high-quality photos on a thick paper all make this heavy-duty coffee-table book worth its damage. Despite having roamed the internet for everything Boontje, there are personal photos, his influences, detail photographs of his chandeliers (and other products), and plenty of information that has not been published elsewhere - so if you think you've seen it all, well - there is more! If you are unfamiliar with Boontje, I would recommend going to his homepage, seeing if you're even remotely interested in his design, and would consider buying his monologue if you like them since his products have already turned into a 'classic' of our time (see MoMA store and others).

I'm an admirer of Tord Boontje's work and the first time I saw this book, it attracted me. The cover stands out and the pages within are filled with interesting information about the designer and amazing photographs of his work. The perforated detail adds an additional touch to the book and echo his work. A visual and tactile experience!
Beautiful book!! December 1, 2007
J. Gabrielle Fiore (Portland,OR)
The cover of the book has a beautiful textural overlay that is not mentioned in any of the descriptions. Also, all of the pages are perforated with Boontje's own designs. I am extremely picky, and I got way more than I expected out of this incredibly beautiful book! The books goes over all of his work, including the stunning visual displays he did for Target a couple of years ago. A must have for anyone who loves Bontje's work.
