Meer over het boek

For once a book that doesn't pamper Finish design! The author, Donald J. Willcox, is an American writer who is well acquainted with the Finnish scent. He casts a fresh look at Finnish design, a subject of nearly legendary status, alongside Sibelius and the sauna. According to Willcox, the word "design" is a hand-me-down, a weary prostitute. It encourages myth-making, not realistic appraisal. Willcox prefers to talk of objects and not only of them. He examines the entire field of Finnish crafts, the surroundings and conditions where this cultural form of worldwide fame is created and designed.
