Surface & Finish is a compendium of materials for home design, from the familiar to the cutting edge.
Each entry provides a detailed description of the material and the different domestic uses to which it is suited, information on wear and tear, and advice on care: What it is, where to get it, what to do with it.
Divided into four parts - Classic, Contemporary, Smart and Sustainable - the book opens with the natural and composite materials we have used for centuries and that never go out of style.
The next two sections deal with crossovers from industrial to domestic application - building materials that have been refined and updated for home use - and the latest and brightest of contemporary inventiveness, including interactive materials that dissolve the boundaries between form and function.
The final section is devoted to sustainable materials with sound eco credentials that help minimize the negative impact of our choices on the environment.
Smart design, up-to-the-minute interiors photographs and close-ups of materials, along with concise, accessible information and a substantial list of suppliers, make this an invaluable directotry that will enable you to take full advantage of the exciting array of materials available today.
