  Showcasing the work of over 200 designers from around the world, this yearbook offers an authoritative guide to contemporary domestic design. Designers whose work is featured include: Ron Arad; Enrico Baleri; Antonio Citterio; James Irvine; Philippe Starck; Marc Newson; Reiko Sudo; and Renzo Piano. This year's selection has been made by the internationally acclaimed London-based designer Jasper Morrison. In a conversation with Michael Horsham, Morrison discusses the issues facing designers at the end of the 1990s, and the return to objectivity in design in evidence by the 1999 selection, characterized by simple forms, an absence of decoration and an authenticity in the use of materials.
