In response to these provocative questions, TASCHEN has put together an authoritative book on the future of product, furniture, lighting, ceramic, glassware, and textile design.

The Fiells selected talents from the US, England, Italy, France, Germany, Spain, Japan, South America, Scandinavia and the Netherlands, and engaged each in a dialog on their visions of the future of design. The diversity of responses paint a fascinating portrait of creative genius, and can be read as a guidebook to what our world wil! l look like in the 21st Century. The book includes contact info for each designer, so it is a practical directory as well as an essential survey. When design historians of 2101 want to see what was going on at “the turn of the millennium,” this is the book they'll turn to. Get a jump on the future and grab it now!
