Visually sophisticated,
By A Customer
This review is from: Glass (Materials for Inspiratl Design) (Hardcover)
Lefteri assembles a multitude of stunning photography and concise and useful information. As a practising industrial designer it is very useful to have resources that stimulate and inspire new ideas. We are at the beginning of the age of materials, and this book gives a good insight into the world of glass. As the author states in the preface, the book is not technically complete, however, it has a great layout and enough information to spark the mind.
