Book Description
With a trailblazing career that spans more than seventy-five years and continues to this day, with recent creations
that include a Martini glass featured in Bombay Sapphire ads and vases for Klein-Reid, Eva Zeisel stands at the
forefront of modern designers. Her works are a reflection of a profoundly independent vision and are featured in
the permanent collections of museums throughout the world, including the Metropolitan Museum of Art and the Museum
of Modern Art.
In this lavishly illustrated, full-color book, the designer for the first time communicates the ideas that have
guided and inspired her. Each aspect of the design process is analyzed—variety, spontaneity, line, contour, shading,
and texture, among others—to show how the best works are the result of a dialogue between creator and object, the
result of which is an environment that is pleasurable, comfortable, and elegant. The language in which this dialogue
is conducted, "the language of things," is one in which Zeisel's fluency is unparalleled, and her thoughts,
read alongside the photos of her stunning creations and those that have inspired her, make this book indispensable
to every enthusiast of art, ceramics, and design.
