Description

Covers 100 objects, from Chupa Chup lollipops to Legos to Chopsticks and Scotch tape. Each object is portrayed with close-up detail, an informative text on its origin and design features, and a silhouette image of the object as we see it. This book aims to celebrate the possibility of looking at our everyday lives in a different way.

Reviews

"Brilliantly conceived, impeccably executed, comprehensive, authoritative, chockablock with gorgeous photography and fascinating, surprising information." -- Kurt Andersen
