"Modern Living Accessories presents on 512 pages a retrospective of the most important developments and highlights in design of the past 100 years, beginning with the latest trends for 2011. The spotlight focuses on several individual gems of design, from the masterpiece of Italian design, Pietro Chiesa's vase Cartoccio (1932), back to one of Spain's most successful designer of our time Jaime Hayon and his Cristal Candy series (2009) for Baccarat, a venerable French establishment, but also on outstanding creations of Finnish designer Tapio Wirkkalas from the late 1960s and early 1970s. Concise texts accompanying the individually featured designs, as well as excurses on selected themes and styles written by experts, round off this benchmark illustrated book. "
