The great powerhouse, which is the collection of internationally acclaimed designers of Australia and New Zealand, has finally been revealed. Collated by one of Australia's most prominent writers on architecture and design, Request.Response.Reaction is a long overdue volume that will fit well onto the shelf of any designer, retailer, wholesaler, manufacturer, exporter, and anyone interested in the design industry of Australia and New Zealand. It is a great introduction to and study of the key players, their awards, achievements and exibitions. Stephen Crafti interviewed each designer and presents in his informative and sophisticated manner a 500-word descriptive text on each designer, and a brief overview of the specific field. His research and knowledge of the design industry is obvious. The featured sections include: Graphic Design, Furniture Design, Jewellery, Sculpture, Ceramics, Photography and Lighting.
