THE DEZEEN BOOK OF IDEAS


Dezeen Book of Ideas is a selection of beautiful ideas by the world’s best creative brains. Covering architecture, interiors and design, this unique book is stuffed full of amazing concepts and revolutionary products, all chosen by the team behind Dezeen, the world’s most influential online architecture and design magazine. From mobile phones powered by fizzy drinks to cars made of fabric to houses with slides instead of staircases, Dezeen Book of Ideas represents a refreshing new approach to design publishing. The book contains 116 examples of design genius, all written in accessible, jargon-free English and lavishly illustrated with full-colour photographs. The book’s A5 format makes it highly accessible and the £12 price tag makes it the ideal impulse purchase or gift. All the examples in the book have been selected from the thousands of projects published on the Dezeen website, which celebrates its fifth anniversary in November 2011. Each entry has been completely rewritten for the book. Dezeen Book of Ideas represents the vitality both of Dezeen – which attracts a million readers each month and is a dynamic forum for debate via its comments section – and the contemporary architecture and design scene. This is one of the first examples of a website being the basis of a design book, and serves as a vibrant synopsis of a truly revolutionary period in both architecture and design, and architecture and design publishing. Marcus Fairs is founder and editor-in-chief of Dezeen and is one of the world’s most respected architecture and design journalists. Marcus was founding editor of icon magazine and is author of two previous books, Twenty-First Century Design (2006) and Green Design (2009), both published by Carlton Books. Dezeen is the world’s most influential architecture and design website, attracting one million visitors each month from around the world. Established in November 2006, Dezeen pioneered a new, accessible form of design journalism and criticism based on the then-new blog format. Over the past five years Dezeen has expanded its brand to now include Dezeen Jobs, one of the world’s leading online design recruitment sites; Dezeen Screen, the leading design video resource, and Dezeen Watch Store, the world’s first design-led online watch store. Dezeen Book of Ideas is the first print publication by Dezeen. It is published by Spotlight Press. To buy this splendid book just visit the link below.
