I just got a handful of used design books today:

Konstantin Grcic: Industrial Design: Phaidon Publications

Nendo: Daab Publications

Patricia Uroquiola: Daab Publications

Ronan and Erwan Bouroullec: Phaidon Publications

*The Grcic book illustrates his design process fairly well over the past 15 years. He has a solo exhibit at Chicago’s Art Institute this winter.

Very interesting story how Richard got into the auction business and where he is heading for the future.

It’s always nice to see some good design coming out of Chicago. This is a weekend retreat in Hennepin, IL for a young couple. Hennepin is a village with a population of 707 people. The design incorporates a small budget and creative detailing (custom light fixtures and angular wood grain patterns). Design by UrbanLab.

American Born, Todd Bracher, studied at Pratt and later the Design School in Copenhagen. He has worked as a senior designer for Tom Dixon and is currently the creative director for George Jenson.
