The Independent Design Guide (Houseley Laura); Thames&Hudson, 2009

An explosively growing collectors market in design has fuelled the interest in young, emerging designers, whose work has become as highly sought after as that of established names. Around the world more and more galleries are opening to meet this new demand.
