This is a glamorous coffee table book covering the work of the
international designer, maker and craftsperson. Batch showcases the
cream of the contemporary craft world crossing different
disciplines in design including; furniture, surface design and
decoration, glass, ceramics, textiles, precious metals and
multidiscipline design. Designers and craftspeople are pushing the
boundaries and concept of craft, creating batches of work which
emphasise the skill behind the object. These high-end craft objects
are sold through design boutiques, galleries and department stores
and they are produced by designers and makers successfully carving
our lifestyle trends. In a retail environment where product design
is becoming a cloned marketplace, Batch celebrates those products
which have a story behind them and which have a high level of care
and finish, which make them stand out in the crowd. The book
presents the work through interviews with both national and
international designers who explain the ideas and concepts behind
their work, how they got started and how they have developed their
businesses. The book also includes practical information in the
'Behind the Scenes' chapter on running a small business, liaising
with manufacturers, dealing with press, setting up exhibitions,
sourcing commissions and marketing. And when you are ready to start
shopping, it also offers a shop guide compiled by the designers
themselves. This book will not only appeal to makers for both
visual interest and practical information but also to the buyers,
collectors and admirers of contemporary craft and designers.
