Beschreibung

Things matter. So why are we losing touch with them?

From the former director of the Museum of Arts and Design in New York comes a timely and passionate case for the role of the well-designed object in the digital age. In this delightful exploration of craft in its many forms, curator and scholar Glenn Adamson explores how raw materials, tools, design and technique come together to produce objects of beauty and utility.

A thoughtful meditation on the value of care and attention in an age of disappearing things, Fewer, Better Things invites us to reconnect with the physical world and its objects.

Zusammenfassung

In a world that is becoming increasingly immersed in flat, frictionless digital technology, Fewer, Better Things is a rousing cry for people to look around them and connect with the physical objects that are invaluable to us as a society before the real and incredibly important building blocks of our world become obsolete.
