Quintessentials will be a glossy tribute to design-led products large and small--from boxes, brushes, paper, and hooks through fashion, fine art, furniture, and cars--all form part of a collective visual essay; an elaborate gift for design addicts and collectors alike. This pictorial feast will be punctuated by essays exploring important landmarks in the history of design. Ranging from the Industrial Revolution through to Japanese manga and illustration, the historical and cultural references that inspire and inform contemporary and vintage designers will be revealed within context, and in all their colorful glory.
