Synopsis
This colourful visual feast features 100 humble masterpieces of design, those small objects we use daily - from tea bags to paper-clips to hairpins - without which life would be unthinkable. Each object is portrayed in close-up detail with a brisk and informative text on its origin and special design features, as well as a silhouette image of the object as we usually see it. Certain to appeal to a broad audience, this book celebrates our everyday lives in an all-new way.
