An explosively growing collector’s market in design has fuelled the interest in young, emerging designers whose work has become as highly sought after as that of established names. Around the world more and more galleries are opening to meet this new demand.

The Independent Design Guide is the first publication to present these undiscovered talents and their creations, presenting 400 of the most exciting design objects by the future stars of design. For professionals and buyers alike, the book features cross-references that highlight new design trends, innovative use of materials and related objects.
