Reviews

A fiercely witty polemic . . . Amusing, erudite, insightful * Daily Mail * Witty, astringent primer for life . . . Bayley is a dazzling writer, by turns elegant, iconoclastic and wickedly subversive, and with a style and panache that rivals his favourite household objects -- Michael Simkins * Mail on Sunday * The joy (and depth) of this book is how Bayley has come to appreciate the spiritual value of things big and small -- Roger Lewis * Telegraph *

Author Information

In the 1970s, Terence Conran plucked Stephen Bayley from the obscurity of provincial academe to do his good works. One result was The Boilerhouse Project, promoting design in London's V&A, which became the most successful gallery of the eighties. Another result was the influential Design Museum. Stephen has since become one of the world's best-known commentators on design and popular culture.
