I am a serial entrepreneur and bought this book to be inspired by product design and learn about the materials chosen. This book delivers great photos and a ton of information. If you are looking to create a new product and want to be inspired as well as discover new materials to use within your product this book is a must read.

Such an inspiring book! I bought this book as a middle school media, visual arts, and design teacher so my students could see what excellent design looks like and the materials designers use. We all love it!

beautiful book, practical

Good book for beginners to learn how to get better design into their product ideas.
