Objets trouves: design britannique critique: Lost and Found: Critical Voices in New British Design

by Nick Barley (editor)

For several years, the British design scene has been a powerhouse of creativity and the British Council launched an exhibition which toured continental Europe to celebrate young British design. This catalogue documents the very latest - in part unpublished - work of 40 designers ranging from famous manes like Tom Dixon, Jasper Morrison, John Galliano, Peter Saville and Tomato to up-and-coming British talent. The book includes furniture, fashion, jewellery and graphic design, in addition to electronic media. Designed by August Media Ltd. In London, where Stephen Coates is Art director, the book is an attractive object in itself.
