SYNOPSIS

Discover the world of plastic. That inexpensive, flexible, resilient, and soft-ignored material enters the limelight in this book of plastic furniture, lighting, architecture, and everyday objects. This book showcases the work of dozens of international designers who take plastic seriously. No longer just used for objects of practicality, each of the varied projects included puts a new spin on how plastic works. From fruit baskets and penholders to bookshelves, lamps, and full rooms, the work featured in this book heralds a new age of plastic. Filled cover to cover with gorgeous color photography, Plastic is a valuable reference and source of inspiration for professionals, students, and design-lovers alike.
