  Featuring the work of over 200 designers from around the world, the 13th edition of this yearbook presents a wide-ranging collection of objects from contemporary culture and a diverse approach to the idea of domestic design. It includes work by established designers such as Michele de Lucchi and Ross Lovegrove, and newer names such as the young Swiss design group, N2, and a new furniture range from film director David Lynch. From his perspective as a designer who has been creating products for 40 years, the editor draws attention to the revolution being brought about by technical and scientific developments. As in past editions, the book incorporates furniture, lighting, tableware, textiles and products, whilst drawing attention to the increasingly blurred boundaries between domestic and industrial design, and between the home and the work-place. Details technical data accompanies the illustrations, and a reference section includes designer's biographies, a list of suppliers and their addresses, and an update of design acquisisitons at major international museums.
