Toord Boontje

Dutch-born designer Tord Boontje is "one of the most original and innovative product and furniture designers working today" and his work his showcased in a new hardbound book from Rizzoli (tip: buy on Amazon for a deep discount). The book is a survey of Boontje's work so far: "With stunning photography that's anything but white-backdrop conventional (think rings of fire and chairs dotting an open field) and delicate patterns punched into the actual pages, the edition has tactile appeal as well as being a refreshing retrospective take of a designer's career." Cool Hunting also has a short video showcase on Boontje that's worth a look.
