Published to coincide with a major exhibition at the V & A, here is the first comprehensive monograph on one of the world's most innovative designers of three-dimensional objects. Still just two decades into his career, British designer Thomas Heatherwick has been heralded as one of the most original creative talents for many years. He has produced everything from sculptural chairs forged from the world's largest aluminium extruder, to a bridge that rolls open and closed, and an exuberant seed bank, 'hairy' with fibre-optic lights. This book is the first to present an exhaustive survey of his studio's output to date: over 140 projects. Long in development, it has been prepared in close collaboration with Heatherwick himself, offering a highly personal, in-depth and behind-the-scenes look at all aspects of Heatherwick's creative, design and manufacturing processes.
