More Paperwork

Description

More Paperwork, following on from the successful Paperwork published by Phaidon in 1993, explores the myriad number of everyday and specialized objects that utilize the considerable strengths, diversity, adaptability and versatility of paper. The author’s selection of paper-based products will be chosen both for their inherent aesthetic qualities and to demonstrate the sheer mind-blowing versatility of paper. From two-dimensional applications such as identity stationary to three-dimensional objects, ranging from the mundane egg-box to the famous Lloyd Loom, and right up to contemporary explorations in architecture by Shigeru Ban, Nancy Williams will prepare an exhaustive census of products and projects

Nancy Williams has worked for many high profile graphic design companies including Pentagram and was a founding partner of Williams and Phoa, a company noted for its adventurous use of paper. After a sojourn from the industry, Williams has returned to concentrate on book design.

“Lavish produced… Covers a range of refreshingly original and fascinatingly innovative paper creations… The pieces themselves are presented beautifully.”—Grafik

“Successfully demonstrates the tremendous versatility and beauty of paper… Will become a valued reference book for many designers, sitting proudly along side its predecessor. It will inspire another generation of designers to push the boundaries further still. Let’s hope we see Yet More Paperwork before 2015.”—Design Week
